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...

small happy dance by maryd[_3_]

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...

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? -- Health & Happiness Linda

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...

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...
