New to me... doing a lap size last-minute Christmas gift (fourpatch in a square, nothing complicated), but in flannels of very strong colours: black, scarlet, deep blue, gold, green, etc. I'm guessing a pre-wash would be the only sensible thing to do. Is there anything I can do for extra...

While checking out the link http://quilterstv.com/ from another thread, I noticed a video on how to do machine bindings. The video is called qtv Binding Tips from Elisa Wilson. With the recent discussions on this topic I thought I'd point it out to those who may still want help or do better...

I know many of us can't stand the thought of looking at more snow, but I uploaded a few pictures I took during and after just one of our many storms. I was struck by the way the snow stuck to the trees and looked just like the Royal Icing that is used to make gingerbread houses. I guess we had...

Back here with a day off, actually I have a long four day weekend, yippee!!!! Its great to be off and think about other mundane things instead of inoperable bowel tumors and two-year olds with sudden blindness in one eye from a freak fall on a coffee table corner. Yesterday was very sad and...

I just got off the phone with my realtor. We had a couple look at it yesterday afternoon that seemed to like at least enough to start checking into financing and I guess there is a gentleman who is interested in looking at to tomorrow morning. We have had the house on the market for over a...

I propose than when somebody asks for design or quilting suggestions, they then have to come back and post a pic. I am always left wondering what they have done or how it looks like... for example Snigs just asked about the card trick, she finished it and then posted pics, so we got to see which...
