juliasb(nospam)
Well today has been another of the message catch up days. What wonderful
reading here and so relaxing too.

My Happy Dance by
Sindir
Well, my first ever quilt is done!!! My binding looks pretty good in the
front, but if you turn it over it's pretty uneven. The stitching leaves

it and finished it by hand. I'm sure I'll get better at that as I...

KittyG
I found myself getting really frustrated with my little lone stars, there
was not enough overlap on the edges to keep the points from getting
eaten...I went ahead and worked on the center blocks. I have those done noe
and I'm off to the stars. Again. I really love these things but the dread

Steam engine fabric by
Julia in MN
I was at a quilting retreat the last 2 days and one of the women asked
the rest of us to keep our eyes open for fabric with steam engines on
it. Have any of you ever seen anything like that? I do plan to do some
Internet searching when I have a little more time, but thought someone
might have seen...

The dangers of meandering....long by
Lynne Van
I decided, a week or so ago, that as I had just finished (all
'cept the borders) the stars and plaids quilt top (it's
gorgeous) and hadn't quite figured out what I want to do on the
borders yet, and seeing as I quite self righteously had cleaned
the bathroom and done the laundry on Thursday,...

Penny wise and pound foolish by
frood
Bummer about the thread. Are you continuing on with it, or switching to
something else? Are you sure it's the thread causing the breakage, and not
something else to do with FM quilting? I don't know what to suggest, as I'm
still a beginner at that...

Generic walking foot? by

I was told that they were available at Nancy's Notions. I think
they were about $13. By the time I converted it to AUD$ and added postage it
certainly wasn't a 'bargain'
