first quilt class by
AliceW
How wonderful! Sounds like a dream come true. My dad always told me to do
what I loved to do but find a way to get paid for it! You did it - well
done!

paper piecing tip by
Leafyeb
I just finished a paper piecing class and wanted to share a tip for
anyone who wants, since I saw all the paper piecing posts flying by.
I used freezer paper for my patterns. I traced the pattern on the
non-wax side of the freezer paper, and put the fabric on the side with
the wax on it. When I...

Guild show and Fabric Tramping by
Kathy Applebaum
Hmmm... does it count as being a Fabric Tramp if my fling was at my own
Guild's show? Sure does in my book!
Spent yesterday white gloving at our Guild's show. Lots more fun now that we
give out plastic gloves, because I can spend my time answering questions
instead of showing what's behind door...

were going to be 15' lates because the baby was hungry I cheered,since I

I spent a couple of days at my mother's this weekend in Northern Ill., while
there I picked up a crzy quilt she has had for years.....I had forgotten how
stunning it is. Wheels of two inch wide spokes of very fancy fabrics, silks
and brocades, heavy embellished with embroidery, a spider web of...

When the cats away, the mice will play! by
Susanne
My DH is out of town for the weekend so I made good use of my time.
I went to a small flea market that happens every Saturday in one of our
small malls. There is a lady there selling fabric! I had such a great time!
She had such beautiful batiks and I bought some blues. 7 metres worth! I
guess I...

tie quilt o.t. by
Pat in Virginia
Nadine:
Although I have not yet made a quilt with necktie fabric, I can
recommend a book. Janet Elwin or Elwen wrote a book all about
using ties in quilts, including cleaning and preparing them for
patchwork. I can't remember the name of the book, which I
borrowed from the County Library. Try to...

I'm back.... by
Sandy Foster
I've had a lovely couple of days with my non-quilting friends from where
I used to live. But when I signed on to see what was new here, I was
greeted with over 600 new messages! Since DH very cleverly put lots of
fertilizer (manure-type) on the lawn as I was leaving, I don't have time
to read...

Christmas Stockings by
Jan Dunaway
I just wanted to say thanks for the postings on Christmas Stockings! I
didn't start it, but I had never thought of using denim for them. And
wouldn't you know, while I was collecting jeans for quilts, a friend had
given me large size red and large size green jeans that I hadn't used
yet! ...

OT - test by
Anne
My news server is acting up and won't let me reply so I am testing to
see if it will at least let me post new messages. I know that telling
you lot to ignore this is useless, so I won't bother.

looking for fabric by
Leafyeb
I am going to make a little quilt with limes, and hot peppers on it,
and was looking for something to go with it, one or 2 more prints.
Maybe fabric with margaritas on it, or hot sauces. Has anyone seen
anything like it?

Gutterman thread #30m by
QuenMaeve
Hello All, I love using Gutterman thread. I use the heavy top thread, 30 m for
sweatshirts. But here in SO. California I am not finding any stores that carry
it. I haven't had much luck online either. Hope you all know someplace I can
order it.
Thanks,
