Anyone have this book? Is it theoretical or does it have patterns?

Hey Teresa, Thanks for answering me in the quilting group. I am thinking of offering myself up to do art wall hangings or throws for both of my sons for Christmas. Obviously not enough time left for me to finish them as I hawve a stack here to do before that day but thought they might like to...

I am looking for help here on another quilt I am working on for Christmas. I have an entire bolt of moire before the factory closed and will be using that. I have many 10 inch moiresquares that I have done Redoute' floral embroidery on --very detailed-- I wish to put them together now but...

I live in South Orange County, CA and I have 20 or 30 quilting patterns that I need to find new homes for. I don't want to use eBay and thought perhaps some quilting guilds could use them for fund raisers. It would just about kill me to just throw them out as I would prefer that they go to...

Hi! This article was published in today's Orange County California Register about 2 women who visit a multitude of quilt stores searching for fabric and some of the antics they use. They call it their Quilters' Run and what strarted out as two best friends has now grown to include a mutitule of...

i have just begun to start to quilt, if i can even say that. I brought the material and i want to began, but i barely know where to start. I brought a book on line by penny halgren. Nine easy steps to making your first quilt, but does seem to really explain, why am i doing this. for example, what...

Some time back, someone posted the URL for a site that was a fairly mathematical explanation of a number of tile shapes suitable for adaptation as quilt patterns, some of them tesselating. Prominent among them was the kite shape. I have googled and googled, and I cannot find that site. Came to...

I broke down and got a walking foot for my 1031 Bernina a couple of weeks ago, planning to use it primarily for quilt assembly and for straight line quilting. While reading the istructions for possible uses, and how it would work very well for seaming plaids together, since the matchups would not...

Whatever happened to Sarah Curry from Las Cruces? Sairy, are you out there? Becky

I thought if I went through "TOOLS" and put someone on the "Blocked Senders" list, that that individual would then not show up in the message list. Doesn't seem to work with that noxious individual who calls himself "The Puppy Wizard", have him blocked, and the messages are still showing up. What...

A while back someone posted the info that rotary cutter blades are interchangable. For the 45 mm size, this is true, at lest for Olfa and Fiskars, I just put a Fiskars blade in my 45mm Olfa handle. Be aware, however, that the 65mm blades are NOT interchangable, at least for Olfa and Fiskars. The...

Hi All, A couple of us in my weekly quilting group are looking for tiny, black and white checkered fabric. Not gingham type, just plain black and white checks. We are trying to find it with 8-10 squares per inch. We've seen the one Big Horn currently has, but it has tiny little red dots in the...

I lost a silver filigreed thimble that I bought at the 2000 International Quilt Festival in Houston. The vendor that sold it handcrafted them and was from the Spokane area, but since I threw out my program from the Festival, I don't have the name of his company. His name was Tom. If anyone...

Has anyone else here heard of using Glad Press and Seal for various quilting chores? My friend heard about it from an on line group she belongs to, and got me to fiddling with it. You can draw your quilting design on it, smooth it onto your quilt top, and quilt right through it. It then rips...

When I moved from New Mexico to Colorado, 110 degree summer days weren't the only thning I left behind. Due to a completely different room layout in the new house, I had to leave behind my enormous dining room table, the table on which, of course, I had done all my basting. AAArgh! I have a...

Now that I"m back, I can finally show you all my latest project. If you go to http://personal.pitnet.net/dgquilt/ which is Diane Gaudynski's web page, and go down to Spotlight Student, the little quilt she has there is mine. I did it to show how one could use the marbled fabrics. I have just...

After nearly a month of sparring with the MSN Tech Support people about how to access this group with MSN as my ISP, they finally admitted that MSN had discontinued support of USEnet groups (I believe decomissioned, is how they put it), because no one was interested in these groups any more!!! ...

Still trying to post. Becky

Trying again, Becky

Just a test to see if this goes through.
