Happy Dance for me!!!! My quilt top is finished. You can find a picture of it he users.moseslake-wa.com/sindir/quilting.html Now, what I can't figure out is how it ended up 88" from top to bottom and 90" from side to side. I haven't squared it up or anything yet, but it just seems odd to me....

Hello quilters, I'm proud to be amongst you all, finally! DH and I had made one quilt together (he designed and sewed the top, I basted, he quilted, I made the mock binding), but this one is all mine!!! It's for my friend's new baby, who came unexpectedly early, but who is now doing very well. ...

If you got a quilted something in the mail, from someone who knows that you quilt, and it wasn't quite right (puckering from the free-form machine quilting), would you be disgusted, or would you be pleased because of the simple fact that the sender was thinking of you, so much so that they wanted...

Howdy! Time to stay off the streets, out of the shopping centers, forget about going to the mall. In north Texas, school's out, the kids are roaming freely, the summer drivers are back, and I'm staying home to quilt. VBG Stocked up on marking pens at the Trinity Valley Quilt Show in Ft.Worth...

I've made three quilts now as gifts and two for charity. I can't stop thinking about quilting. My brain spins up new designs and I keep looking for stuff to make for my friends' children. I even dreamed about quilting. DH and someone went deep sea fishing for tuna and I was on the boat. I saw...

Hello Quilters, I'm going to Oregon for a week at the end of this month for a family reunion. I'd like to bring my sewing machine, but I'm not sure what project I should bring. There will be lots of people around and I probably won't get to do a lot of sewing, but the mere thought of a week...

Just so you know...The people who search your luggage at the airports are sinners too! My hubby had 6 packs of ciggies in his luggage when we left Montana - When we arrived home, there was a paper stating that our luggage had been searched by the TSA and we discovered that all the ciggies were...

would this type of pattern be a good idea? http://www.geocities.com/quiltfrenzy_archives/faux-logcabin.html I am having a hard time with my son's fabric because I dont want to cut the strips too small and lose the effect of the tye dye, its way too cool to not have it in larger pieces. Here is the...

Am I losing my mind? I could have sworn that I correctly programmed the VCR to record Alex' program this morning from 7:30 am... It just struck me. I didn't adjust the VCR for daylight savings time. Darn Darn Darn. If anyone did see it, was it Hanging By A Thread, one of the new 1000#...

I have 3 cats - 1 old female and 2 young males. One of the young males (3yrs old), who has been neutered has taken to spraying around the house and having an "unhealthy" region down below and constantly cleaning himself. How do I stop him? He has been neutered, so all the urges should have...

I'll take him! He will get daily lashings from my 40 foot stock whip, be forced to scrub the WC twice a day with *his* tooth brush, cater to the playful needs of my 2 almost 3 year old DS - such as being the horse... change all poo-poo nappies my 8 month old DS produces... watch while *we* eat all...

Join me in a happy celebration of the changing of the seasons. The Northern Hemisphere's change from Summer to Fall is my favorite time of year. Where I live, the Fall colors of the trees arrive slowly, but are intermixed with the evergreen pines. This always reminds me of a quilt. For my friends...
