I have been looking on ebay for a while at cotton quilt tops. One called to me, a GMFG, feedsack prints, easy price, hand pieced. You might want to keep in mind here that I'm the one who adopts the Christmas tree that is warped, wobbledly and has a serious big hole about halfway down. I just...

Has anyone here taken any classes at the Country Quilt Shop in Montgomeryville, PA? I just found out that they're having a couple of classes that sound really good. Trouble is, I don't live in PA and it'll take me an hour or so to get there. I have never been to their shop (we moved here last...

My mother in law passed away 2 weeks ago and now we have to empty a large home full of furniture and other items. Some are old and we don't have any idea of prices for items. One of the other problems is that the house is in a gated community with lots of rules including one that only allows for a...

Does anyone know whether the curve master presser foot is available from TSWTH ??? I had a look on their website but I couldnt find it. My friends are travelling to the states at Easter so if I knew where they are sold Im sure I could sweet talk them into getting me one. Are they as good as they...

Y'all have always been so helpful when someone is looking for something ---- so, I am in need of pattern for a quilt my church is making to give to a long time member who is leaving.

I read a reply to a post from Royce who indicated that she just returned from the hospital. I emailed her to make sure she was ok. She is ok but will be offline for a few days due to a pending house move which may or may not happen. She asked me to relay her story to the group which...

And it's all beautiful hand-dyes! I feel like the thing on the Bugs Bunny show... "and I will love it and kiss it and pet it and name it George..." Whee! Cina, joyfully (it's not weird to sleep with your fabric, is it?)

I've nearly completed a YBR top, just need to add the borders. I was planning to back this with fleece, I've got a rainbow striped fleece that picks up the colours in the top. My question is, and I've been putting off the borders cos I can't make my mind up, can I 'birth' this quilt or should I...

Hi everyone, I'm working on a quilt for my dad and am just about ready to start the actual quilting. It's a sort of Irish Chain in what I'm calling paprika, gold and muslin. I think the directions call for a stitch in the ditch, along with a motif in the center of the mostly plain blocks. But I...

Has anyone here had a class with Cynthia England? Please share any comments you may have about her and the her teaching and the class. Simply Quilts episode #655 aired in September 2003 and on it, C. England showed her picture piecing technique. I would be more than happily willing to pay for /...

Wash and dry to remove the sizing and finishes that are put on fabric in the factory and which make it hard for it to absorb dye. Then put it in the tea-dye. Dry. Tea-dye is not the most colorfast of all dyes. There are commercial dyes out there which hold their color longer and don't have acids...
