I am making a crib quilt for DD's first child. The pattern has a ruffle around the outside of the quilt instead of a binding. The directions say to sew the ruffle to the quilt top before quilting and then "birth" the quilt. I don't like the idea of birthing before quilting because I'm afraid...

I'm putting together a very simple quilt from Christmas fabrics. As I wanted to use up all the fabric, the design has 2 main borders and because of the colours, I needed to space them out with 2 narrow borders. The fabric is very busy, so I think quilting will be just what is necessary to hold...

Hi, I'm not a regular here, I'm not even a regular quilter, but I am today. I have a 3 yo grandson who had a favorite blankie which was a preused quilt that was given to him a couple years ago. He loved that quilt but the fabric is thin and had begun shredding as he slept with it so we picked out...

Okay, let's say that hypothetically one had quilted and then bound a quilt, but decided that it really needed a lot more quilting. Is it possible/okay/QP acceptable(!) to add more quilting without taking off the binding? The hypothetical quilts (there are two of them) are single bed size, so that's...

Have been only able to lurk for a while, but know you-all will have the answer. I want to make a twin sized coverlet out of an already quilted cheater panel that's crib sized. I have more already quilted fabric and just plain fabric so I could use either one. Any suggestions? TIA Kathy in FL

Hi everyone I haven't been around in a long while. Is there still an address book about who's here? I have been "stuck" on a couple of UFO's for a long time but I'm getting antsy to start a couple of more. I promised myself I wouldn't until I finished those other monsters in the closet! We have a...

I regret to announce that due to many minor domestic tragedies - my old computer died, my address won't work on the new computer, and the modern software I'm using now is making me crazy. I can't figure out how to do anything. So all mail going to is not recoverable. All hug...

I am getting a lot of spam mail- no thank you, I do not need Viagra yet and my hair is plenty thick. DH thinks it is coming from being part of a group. How do you change you email address so that people can't automatically send stuff to you- e.g., you add nospam into your address. thanks much I...

Just want to make sure that while I was gone a call for addresses didn't go out. I don't want to miss it. -- Boca Jan Southern Florida - land of the hurricanes http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/poo_de_doo/my_photos yum small prints and batiks yuks large bright prints, lime green and orange

Forgive me for not knowing this off the top of the head (we are still in a hotel and I am using the son's computer)... I closed on my house yesterday!!!! Hurray!!! Now, how do I update my address on our address list? Here are some pics of my house that were put up by the previous owners:...

who was it that was the official contact to ask to get peoples addresses not in the directory? :) Roberta (in MD) -- In a Thunkie sorta mood *G*

Hi gang I would hate to miss out on a squishie this year, but, inexplicably, I gave an incorrect snail mail addy to LN and Alice. Silly me, must have had my mind on something else - like quilting! So here it is: PO Box 3444 Burleigh Town PO Qld 4220

Hello, As my first foray into the world of quilting, I'm going to make a memory quilt for my daughter's first birthday. All the guests at her party are going to decorate a square with fabric markers. I read in one book a suggestion to put "adhesive backing" on the back of the square, to make the...

Just got Lowe's summer woodpost mailing and in it is instructions for an adjustable height table that also (if I read it correctly) folds up for storage. Finished dimensions are listed as 72 by 30 inches. It also says it adjusts from 18 to 30 in. tall. Looking it over quickly, just changing the...

Well, try as I could, constructing this block has been an abject failure. http://picasaweb.google.com/bronferrier/QuiltProjects#5555506038328730482 I can't recall where I got the design from; I did draw it up in EQ7 mid-year. I loved it. EQ7 showed how the whole quilt might look. I loved it. ...
