What is your favourite placemat pattern or method of making placemats? I am after something simple and have found two that I like. One is on Cheryls (Cats) webshots page and another is simply 6 x 2.5" pieces sewn onto a backing ( I printed the instructions out and have stored them securely...

Hello everyone Me again with another question. First though, just to update; DH underwent surgery for his cervical vertebrae last Wednesday and has been home since Saturday. Thankfully, he is doing well. Has to take things very easy, basically is not allowed to do ANYTHING, so I am fast learning...

I hope that this isn't out of line. My name is Neil Atkin and I am Sharon's oldest son. Sharon and I are producing a new website with all digital media. Every thing from Gammill Longarm patterns and original patterns with video tutorials all the way to Internet based lessons on her...

Since there has been a request, or more on occasion for some simple projects here is one. Needlebook (Pics of one can be found at my webshots, album: Sewing accessories. http://community.webshots.com/user/PatiCooks To make this first take a sheet of paper and make a square. I used a sheet...

I feel like a total dunce asking this - but does anyone here have EQ6 - and if so, do they like it? Is it easy to learn/use? Do the "advanced pattern design" features work as well as the web site says they do? Also, I've heard that EQ is raster based (using pixels) while Illy (my drawing app of...

I just finished a baby quilt and not too late for a change the baby is only a week old! : ) I also just made a webshots album for a few pictures. Here is the link (I hope). http://community.webshots.com/user/Donnaquilts38?vhost=community -- Donna in NE La.

For those who care to look - these are pics from the quilt show in Melbourne (Victoria, Australia) last week held by Vic Quilters Inc. And before anyone asks, I checked and was told it was OK to use a camera. However, as I suspect that at least some of the quilts will be published I do not...

I started making a king size quilt and couldn't stop adding panels. It's now 134 x 134. Would this be too big or would it just hang over to the floor? It's going to be a gift. I feel like I should take it apart and start putting it together in a different way. I also feel a little...

This is something that I found to be of help to me. I was a little down in the dumps and this program was instrumental in picking me up. Life seems to have a renewed vigor since I did these exercises. Check out Revitalize Your Life at www.yourrichlifeinc.com

I finished up the TV quilt for my daughter just in time to get it in our guild show, and pop it in a suitcase to take to Denver. Here's a shot of the front. http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2758434410049789727MFCvPN and the...

Ok, all you lucky people, here is the latest offering from the infertile mind of me. I had a bunch of solids that I have been collecting, and I was planning to do a fan quilt. When I started laying out the colors for the fans I had an inspiration. Well maybe it was a perspiration. Anyway., this is...

I just don't get this. It hangs me up every time, and it's surely not such a complicated thing. I just have a devil of a time getting the cornerstones/sashing to intersect properly (I used 2-inch little "border" between each 9.5 inch block,. I measured the blocks and squared them. Measured each...

Okay, my cyber friends! this is up on eBay. I had it bookmarked, then it was relisted at a lower price. I have wanted a treadle for so long. My sister has my mother's and won't allow me to have it ;( "It's a nice reminder of when things were simpler" Should I bid on it? Santa Maria is not that...

I bought a gorgeous jacket/skirt suit yesterday- *cheap* on sale. The skirt comes to my ankles and I really do not like that length on my short chubby body. The problem is that the skirt is a semi-slinky, stretchy, fine knit fabric. The tag says it's 60% polyester, 35% rayon and 5%...

Does anyone know if I can buy "505 Spray and Fix" in Australia or sommat like it that doesn't smell? My poor DH is a Chronic Fatigue suffer from way back and the Spotlight brand of basting spray that's been collecting dust in my cupboard fattens him right out (me too for that mattergrin). I...

I am thinking about doing a quilt with redwork embroidery blocks, sashing, a narrow and wider border. As a new quilter I have the advantage of not knowing much about what I'm trying to do. So I have several questions. 1. Is redwork normally done on pure white or off white fabric? 2. Are the...
