I think that I've received all of the blocks for Genie's quilt. I want to thank all of you who sent one -- it still amazes me how generous so many of you are! I will make sure and pass along any little notes to her when I give her the quilt. Now I have a question; was the fabric prewashed? I...

I've looked at pictures in several quilting books, and the blocks seem to lose focus on quilts that have very wide sashing. Is there an aesthetically pleasing proportion of sashing width to block width? Specifically, I am wondering whether a 2" sashing would be pleasing for a 6"...

Thanks to all of you who've welcomed me, expressed interest in GRANDMA-2-GRANDMA and the batiks these Tanzanian grandmas raising their AIDS-orphaned grandkids create. AND for the tip about posting pix on www.webshots, which I've done. So you can see some of my African wallhangings (and even better)...

Sorry folks, I'm new at this posting pix biz - you can see the African wall hangings and batiking grandmas fotos at http://community.webshots.com/user/BibiJann

Susan, Roberta, et al: Thanks for all your kind comments about the batiks done by our Tanzanian grandmas. I've just begun selling their stuff (with all money going back to them, of course) and got a further boost from a mention in a quilting newsletter. Have emailed to the "bibis" (grandmas) that...

Been ages since I've posted. The quilted wall hangings from AFrican fabrics are piling up as I work toward our charity exhibition in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Feb. 5 (in case anyone is in the neighborhood!) It will benefit GRANDMA-2-GRANDMA - the grandmothers ("bibis") raising their AIDS-orphaned...

Hi! I'm Bibi Jann, an American in Sweden (cuz I married one). Bibi means grandmother in Swahili. I enjoy creating quilted wallhangings of African fabrics. I buy lots in Tanzania - not only cheaper than in Sweden, but fascinating, beautiful and often created by people there that I know. We go to...

A few years ago, I sent out a quilt top to a long arm quilter named Diane. I think she lives is Ohio. She did a fantastic job. I can't remember who recommended her and I have lost her contact information. Would anyone here know her? Hello again, by the way! It's been a long time since I have been...

Thanks for the info. Taria in Victorville, CA sent me information for a long arm quilter in Big Bear, where I have a cabin. I just arrived at my cabin today....two feet of fresh snow in the last day and half! I met with the quilter and left her with two lap size quilts. I'm getting lazy in my old...
