Hello! I have a pretty basic MQ question. So...I start by pulling the bobbin thread to the top. I anchor with a few very tiny stitches. Then I do my quilting design. Anchor again with some tiny stitches. Now what? Do I just snip off the threads close to the quilt top? Is there something...

Hay all, since I have some free time, I started to work on my scrap fabrics which can vary from 1" to 4" ( sometimes bigger) in width I had most of them in plastic baggies sorted from size. But my scrappy patterns call for light's, mediums, and darks. so I took them all out, and sorted them that...

Has anyone done this challenge or seen a quilt or even, just one block, done with those butterfly wings? I have a relative who is getting married, she loves butterflies, and she wants me to make her a bed size quilt as a wedding present (by July next summer)with those Hoffman gold and...

Here's a question for the group that knows everything. OK, not a question, exactly, more of a query. I'm looking for some gin to buy for DH for Christmas. He usually drinks Tangueray, but likes Boodles when he gets the chance at it. There. That's it. The extent of my gin knowledge. I'd like to get...

Ask the experts :): Thanks to the quilter who mentioned Big Horn Quilts! I found the fabric to finish GDD#2 's butterfly quilt, and at a decent price. (The fabric is called 'bright rainbow squares' #17-254. Looks much more appealing when you blow the pic up larger). I have appliqued butterflies...

Some of you have mentioned these from time to time, and I've seen some of the patterns, which look amazing. Who here does these regularly? What is your opinion on them? Do you find them expensive? Just wonderin', Lynne in Toronto

I posted "three questions" a week or so ago asking about quilt guilds in my area and a cathedral window pattern. I was overwhelmed with the many emails I received answering all of my questions. A huge thanks to everyone who took the time to reply - you're kindness was unexpected and very much...

We would like an update, please, on the babies. Who has made a grand entrance and who is waiting on the, er, umm, sidelines? Any new arrivals or announcements? Polly

It sounds lovely Mardi However, won't throwing in red "here and there" take away the effect of the design? I'd think your eyes would be drawn to the red in the quilt. Unless of course that is your desire. Draft it on paper first? Ann............who can't always visualize a change in the...

When you make Chenille quilts, how deep do you make the seams? I was watching Fons and Porter last night and they were using a 3/4 inch seam, which seamed (vbg) deep to me. Any thoughts? Cheers, Lynne in Toronto
