Here's another slide show of quilts from PIQF take by the owner of Thimble Creek quilt shop in Concord. Mine is the pineapple quilt at the beginning - it wasn't part of the judged show, just part of an exhibit. http://thimblecreek.com/piqf2011/ marcella

First of all, I realize they are recommending that we don't use crib bumpers at all; but, my GD is 16 months old and her mom wants new bumper pads. I think she's too old for bumpers but. . . Anyway, can anyone tell me what to use as the padding for the bumper pads? I've tried thick batting...

Do you remember a little more than a year ago when I made Puss in Bonnets for an expected grand niece? The quilt was purrfect until I washed it and the batik backing turned everything (including the zebra striped kitty, the washing machine drum and my kitchen counter) a rowdy pink. No telling...

Just curious as to what happened with the hug quilt. -Irene

So I come across a neat quilt in Fons and Porter's magazine (sept./oct. 2008) It is called Mariner's in a Pickle. It could work for what I want to do. Under the materials list is 2-3/4 yds of 17 prints. 2 yds. for binding and 14 yards for backing. That comes to a whopping 62-3/4 yards. My...

At least metaphorically. Had my follow up appointment at Roswell today. As many of you probably already know ovarian cancer has a dismal mortality rate. Primarily because it is usually not discovered until it is well advanced, generally stage 3 or 4. Considering the size of the tumor I was...

You know - that smart old man that said insanity was doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I had a box full of somewhat neatly cut squares and strips and thought I'd make blocks and sort of diminish the scrap collection. Wrong. While I was putting...

Good morning everyone! My day already started 3 hours ago (and it's Saturday!!). While waiting for the rest of the family to wake up, I'm playing around on the computer. And I've had it with facebook games so I thought of something else: how many of us can name tv series or movies in which quilts...

I've seen no new postings after October 21st--am I missing something? rusty

Sandy, How are you liking your pasta attachment for the KA? Is is worth the trouble and cost? They are on sale right now and I was thinking DD might like it for Christmas this year. TIA, Taria

So, my retired teacher friend had her follow-up appointment. As she said, they squished and squeezed it every which way they could think of. Sore of course at the end but with the new pictures compared with base-line pictures of years past, just fibrous elements or some such thing so all is...

Hi All Big winds today but no snow at my elevation yet. I'm attached to an anchor so I won't blow away. But, two happy moments today when I got to thinking about it. First, to whomever mentioned the "stab-the-tail-twice" method after threading your needle so it doesn't come un-threaded. You...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/onetexsun/?saved=1 This is where I've been for a while now. It's done, hanging in the chapel at church. I'm so excited. I've posted lots of detail shots. What do you think??? Sunny Now starting a medieval Templar Knight's costume...

You've explained bling, blog and Hootchie Mama to me. Here's the latest blank spot in my understanding. Is there an online place that shows icons - those silly little symbols - and what they're supposed to mean. . . to someone... sometime? My modem - I just barely understand that this is...
