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 something to be desired. I machine stitched the front half and then turned it and finished it by hand. I'm sure I'll get better at that as I...

Rag Quilts with Binding by JoyceG in WA
I've recently been working on some rag quilts, mainly because it's something I can finish in a reasonable amount of time. I've noticed some rag quilts in the LQSs that have traditional binding, and others that have the snipped and frayed edges. I was wondering if using binding on the edges is...

What is going on with Micros**t? by Piglet
It doesn't come from Microsoft; it's a virus sent by folks who, to say the least, don't wish the folks in Redmond well. If Microsoft could, by edict, end viruses, I'm sure they'd be happy to do so. --pig On 10/23/03 11:10 PM, opined:
