I seem to be in a slump. I go and fondle fabrics. I look at all my UFO's. I shuffle stuff around in my little sewing area.......... nothing. It has been ages now since I have had the inspiration to actually sew anything. Today I figured I could get into the mood by finishing off some hems on...

I know I haven't been around here much. Real life and all that yadda yadda as some of you already know..... but I have been getting to use some of my time for quilty things! I finished a quilt that I started over 2 years ago made out of faux suede and flannel. It is by far the softest quilt I have...

I bought myself a small book that said something about log cabin quilt as you go and thought that would be the way for me! I have issues with wrestling a whole quilt through my machine (issues? heck I just hate doing it) so I thought this would be ideal! All one does is make the squares, cut your...

I just wanted to say a whole group thanks to all of you who have sent me squishies :) I have privately thanked each one as they arrive but I just wanted to say that you all are the bestest group ever and I feel so lucky and thankful that I found this place! My life has been turmoil now for quite...

because now I am beyond curious as to what kind of a mini series you all can really make out of this idea LOL I would love to see this progress into a story of how the world quilts!!! Write your own episode!! ~KK in BC~ who is going off to write the Northern Canadian episode. "Pat in Virginia"...

this is the one I got from them as a FQ and I LOVE it and don't want to send it away... actually thinking I want more LOL http://blank-textiles.com/template.cfm?page=individualFabric&startrow=1&coll_id=207 ~KK in BC~ "Liz_in_Calgary" wrote in...

I am just curious here. I collect 2" and 4" charm squares. I love that I can just grab a handful and make a....well a whatever because they are there just waiting for me to be inspired. I also collect 3/4" strips of fabric....... yes I am still working on that monster of a project and will NEVER...

Ok, I am curious. I use gray thread for piecing my darks and mediums and ivory for my lights and whites. What does everyone else do for the thread colour in piecing? I do this because: A) I think they blend in well and I don't have to change thread often when piecing and

My sewing machine has decided she just won't go anymore. She is wanting to wander off to the great repair shop at rainbow's edge. ARGHHhhh and NOOoooooo.......... I never thought I would feel so crummy over a sewing machine. And an OLD machine at that. Heck, her drop dogs didn't even work!...

I know I don't post often in here, but I read as often as I can. Real life has gotten the best of me and things just wont settle down. As some of you in here know, I have been having some terrible marital problems, to the point of a separation, but now I am back with my husband. After 8 years of...

I know I am scarce in the posting in here, and usually lately it has not been quilting related. I haven't had time to quilt or even think about quilting for months and it appears that isn't going to change in the near future. I do read as faithfully as I can in here, you all are the BESTEST bunch...

My life is no less hectic, and things have not really settled down or become normal, BUT I have found some time to do some simple stitching and OH did it feel divine. I was in my own world, fondling fabrics and humming with my SM. I had forgotten how relaxing and rewarding it is to sit and do...

So I decided to snip as I go with this raggy quilt I am attacking. Saves on the wear and tear of the snipping hand if you do it in small bouts. Even so, still have imprints from the snippers on my hand sigh. Anyway, the subject of this post was something I wondered if anyone else does with these...

and for me, the great starter of hundreds of projects, that's really an accomplishment! They are the first 4 pictures in my webshots kwilts album. http://community.webshots.com/album/149970188ewMPSM They are no where near what you all do, but I am proud of myself just the same. I am and old...

I have searched and cannot find a pattern for a spider web block that is not PP. I don't know how to PP and it isn't something that is interesting to me @ this moment. Anyone have a site or idea or the measurements on how to put this together? I have found pictures of what I want to make, just cant...

And by half ways I mean that I was out thrift store shopping, seeking scraps of fabrics for a project that never should have been started and now it is driving me insane so much that I MUST finish it!!! I am making a quilt for my daughter's bed, darks and lights, 3/4 of an inch wide strips. slap...

I need HELP. I have never actually MQ'd anything. I have done SITD and I have tied and I have done QAYG but never have been able to quite figure out where to start and how to do it and what is the easy way and how to develop a technique for any kind of MQing. What I need and cannot find anywhere...

I had been doing some cutting and refolding and found that I have in my hot little hands, TWO FQ's of some very lively and boisterous PINK TROLL fabric......... first two emails in my inbox takes 'em away !!! ~KK in BC~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No trees were killed in the sending of this message....
