Finding an old style tool by NightMist
So I have this old bodkin that I have been using for sequins and beading and the like. Now that I have a dancing daughter I find I am getting a lot more call for such things. I used to do them but seldom for there hasn't been much call for such fancies these last couple of decades. I should...

Quilted jacket by Brian[_3_]
Several years ago I made myself a quilted jacket (https://www.flickr.com/photos/brian0908/, album = quilted jacket). I took the pictures with my phone, so they are not "great." Even where I live, Tucson, AZ, it gets cold enough where I need to wear this relatively heavy jacket some of the...

OT Stove Mouse Wins! now: The Revenge of Curly Whiskers by Night Mist
It was a thing of beauty. Stove Mouse popped out, Jericho was waiting on his chair and just stood with one paw on the stove and reached out with the other paw, snagged Stove Mouse and threw him down to the floor where Jiji was waiting. Jiji dispatched Stove mouse immediately. It was like they...

Tumbler Quilt by [email protected]
Finished my Flutterby quilt and now onto the Tumbler. I did one of these quilts many years ago, so it is an old quilt/pattern. I needed something to use up left over pieces of this and that, along with material in layer cakes and charm packs I didn't like, so this quilt is everything including the...

The Flutterby Quilt by [email protected]
I have revised a pattern that uses 2 1/2 inch jelly rolls. Instead I wanted to use a (42 piece) 10" layer cake I just brought. There was only 2 or 3 prints that I liked, the rest was ugly as far as I was concerned. Will never buy another layer cake. I recommend cutting your own 10 inch squares. ...

Repairing a quilt by Brian[_3_]
My philosophy of quilting is that it is both a fine art and a practical art. The fine art portion is that I think even a "stash buster" quilt should somewhat be coordinated in the colors/patterns chosen, as judged by the quiltmaker. The practical art part is that quilts are meant to be used...

Catching up on other projects by [email protected]
Thought I better clue everyone in on what I am doing now. I have made two sets of 4 place mats/napkins for my kitchen and didn't like either one, so they will go to the Senior Centers craft show along with those hot pads I make after every quilt to get rid of extra fabric. I also finished pin...

Pine Trees and squares by [email protected]
I found this picture of a quilt in a magazine or quilt flyer. It is very simple except for the pine trees. There are 16 squares in one block and then the pine tree block. I have never made a pine tree before, so this looks like a challenge for me. Since I have only a picture and no instructions,...

back from retreat by Julia in MN[_5_]
I just spent about 4 days at a quilting retreat at a lovely camp in northern Wisconsin. I had a great time and got quite a bit accomplished. About 7 years ago, I took a "design a mariner's compass" workshop with Gail Garber at the Minnesota Quilt Show. I completed the center and added one...

"sea silk", aka byssus from Sardinia by Jack Campin[_2_]
I doubt this stuff is ever going to feature in a quilt, but it's the most remarkable story about a textile craft I've read in a long time: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-33691781 I like the way it is not a commodity. A lot us treat our quilts the...
