Press and Seal? by
-- Jo in Scotland
With all the fuss being made over Press and Seal, I wonder if someone
in the US would be willing to post some to a quilty mate of mine in
Australia? She's quite keen to try it and I have had no luck
unearthing it here in the UK. No doubt we will have it in another 6
months or so. This woman has...

Great fabric store! by
-- Jo in Scotland
Hello folks!
I tried out a (new to me) fabric store last week
-www.snowyriverquilts.com. I was able to find the entire range of
"Folk Art Fancies" there. Other places had the prints - several
include brown kitties leaping about - but not all of them. Well my
Siamese kitty is brown and I decided...

Finally getting my groove back? by
-dlm. in Central MA
Hello everyone!
I started quilting many many years ago but let the hobby fall by the
wayside when I discovered stamping. I found that it was easier to
feel a sense of gratification from hand making cards because the end
result is seen in a very short amount of time. However, in the last 6
months...

The owner of the Viking sewing center in our local JoAnn store

Fat Third?? by
..Mickie Swall..
I've seen refernce to Skinny Thirds, in fact bought a lovely book with patterns
based on them, and can reasonably assume that the piece would measure
12" by width of fabric (40-45"). But how would you make a Fat Third? Cut
2/3 of a yard/ 24" and then halve that for a piece 24" by 1/2 the width...

Freebie for Fields Fabrics in Michigan ??? by

How big is this show as compared to Houston (haven't ever been to Lancaster or Paducah, or
any of the bigger natioal showe, so Houston is my only measure for the larger shows). I
know that they expect about 20,000 visitors, but I'd like an idea how many quilts will be
there? Anybody plan on...

Rings That Bind by

Yikes! A visit to the LQS got me a big bag full of assorted fabric and a book with a
template. The pattern is a nifty take on the Double Wedding Ring, assembled in a
quilt-as-you-go technique reminiscent of those quickie machine-pieced Cathedral Windows.
A picture of the book & template is...
