What to do? What to do? by
Maureen Wozniak
I've got to fill out the entry forms for our guild's show tonight. I'm
having a tough time deciding what to put in. We can enter up to 15, I have a
list of 10 possibles. But winnowing down is turning out to be harder than I
thought, because everything on the list of possibilities is either...

Status report and musings by
Edna Pearl
Some of you may remember that I have been working on my first quilt. I
finished the taffeta piecework and satin border a couple of weeks ago, and
decided to put it aside until I improve my skills. So I put the quilt top
away. Last night I took it out and draped it over my bed. I'm surprised...

What was 'lost' is found! by
Jennifer in Ottawa
I caged Sammie this morning so that I could do some uninterrupted
searching in the sewing room! I wouldn't really call it searching
since I am still organizing and sorting shelves, etc. I thought that
I would try moving one of the Ikea shelf cabinets onto another shelf
space - I removed the...

best way to mark a quilt by
M Enneking
I have pieced a top for a baby quilt, and have found a book with designs I
would like to use. Have not done this before, and wonder how I should go
about transferring the designs to the quilt. The book suggests tracing the
designs, then layering several pages of paper and sewing through, with...

Love and Happiness by
Rachel Williams
The source of thought is Self. Ignoring the Self is unhappiness. If
you are worrying this will causes fear, anxiety, tension and stress.
These emotions take energy and weaken the immune system and are
psychically bad for your body. It can manifest into poor health and
depression. Why not get...

quilt frame by
Supernet news groups
I have been quilting for many years, mostly by hand. I'm ready for a
"machine". I'm looking for a used "Little Gracie" or something along that
line.
Anybody have one for sale or know who does?

Don't do this by
Polly Esther
Okay. Here's the plan. While you are out shopping for embroidery floss
to match the comforter so you can practice your buttonhole stitching on the
long cut, you might as well buy one of those cardboard, sort of accordion
fold things to put on top of your bedding. I had to use our bed for...

Projects_ by Gai Perry. I'll be making the cover quilt in peacock

How do I organize these scraps??? by
hfw
Now that I've finished piecing 6 quilts, several of which were rather
scrappy, I've got a total mess on my hands. The yardage and FQs are nicely
organized, but I don't have a clue as to how to deal with the rest of it.
The pieces range from about an eighth of a yard down to 2.5" strips...

Minkee, minkee,minkee by
MoragP
The minkee arrived a few minutes ago. It's purple, very plushy like a super
velvet, very soft, very drapey.
I only took it out of the box to look at it and I'm covered with little shreds
of purple.
The back is a slippery acetate, I think. I can't imagine using this as a quilt
backing. There are...

Fabric Transfer?? by
Puffins
I figured out how to attach a piece of cotton fabric to a piece of freezer
paper and run it through my printer. Naturally, I did a test and washed a
portion of it and the whole pictures disappeared.
Is there a way to run this through your printer and put it on a quilt? I'm
thinking of having my...
