Hello All, Well after making 2 more butterfly quilt tops, each being smaller than the previous one because I made a mistake while cutting them out. Instead of cutting out 5 1/2 inch squares, I instead cut some 5 inch squares and it was only after I had cut 15 sets of these discovered my...

I was thinking about having my special education students sew hot pads (pot holders) using raw edge (we've done other projects where they turn it inside out like bean bags and pillows). What is the best (cheapest?) thing to put in the middle of the two layers of fabric that would still look nice...

Inspired by this web page: http://homepage3.nifty.com/berumama/sub8.html (I don't know which language is!) I'm going to host a "house blocks" centralized swap in Italy. I have decided that this is an easy way to go about swapping, it saves us all a lot of money on postage. Would love to have you...

Rushmore and a baby proudly pointing out his belly button. Finally, the pattern surfaced here. It is by Freddy Moran and she calls...

I'm about half way through piecing my quilt top. This will leave me about 1 month before it needs to be warming my relatives. So, I am thinking about the quilting. I will be using a fairly low loft wool/poly batting. Can you more experienced ppls tell me if I can quilt it myself in that time? I...

We just accepted a conditional offer on our house today, so I'm hoping that the new place will have room for my hobbies! I must say that I am rather stressed about the whole move idea as we have put in 3 different offers in the last couple of months and they have all fallen apart. If all goes...
