I'm thinking of adding quilts (completed ones, not custom ones for now) to the store. (See link below...) What is the "going rate" of quilts? I'm just trying to figure out how to price them, and what I should think of charging for them. DH thinks it's an awesome idea after seeing the quilt I did...

Hi everyone, Thanks for letting me join. I just started quilting and I think I'm hooked already. I enjoyed very much doing my first quilt and I was wondering if any of the members are living in Maryland. I am living in Fredeick for one year with my boyfriend. I am orginally form Brazil but lived in...

Does anyone know where I can get a set of the 4 clamps used to hold the brackets to the table for this quilting system? Thanks.

family business that does furniture contracts for hotels and restaraunts ends up with excess fabric all the time. we are intested in selling these fabrics at a deeply discounted price. please email if your interested and i will get samples (either actual or digitical) to you.

This morning I attended a show by Marianne Fons on "Why We Quilt". The show was held at the Shady Maple Banquet Center in Lancaster County, PA. It was quite informative and mentioned the main reasons why we do what we do....necessity, therapy, fame and fortune, and a couple others. I thought...

In a couple weeks I'll be taking a class from Elizabeth Carlson. She will be teaching us how to make an Irish Rose quilt with some hand appliqué. In the list of supplies needed she mentions "thread to match appliqué fabrics". There are three colors - dark green, red and gold. What kind of...

As I mentioned here last week, I was celebrating a BIG birthday on Valentine's Day. Saturday night my DH and I set out for a celebration dinner at a really nice restaurant. But....he actually took me to our community clubhouse where 40 of our family, best friends and neighbors had gathered...

I think this has been discussed here before, but I didn't need the info then. My DDIL wants a Tumbling Block baby quilt in blues for our expected-in-March grandson. I think a method of piecing without using the "Y" seam was discussed. Can anyone point me to instructions or a book detailing...

This quilt was started as a group project in a beach house in North Carolina and finished with snowflakes flying here in PA. During the course of putting the quilt together, I used three machines...a small, new Babylock Xscape, my old Singer, and then the Quest when it arrived! I couldn't have...

Well today I had two hours with an instructor from Babylock and we went over all the questions I had concerning my new Quest. Some things are just easier when you see them done, instead of reading about them. I found out that the instructor recommended Schmetz or Klasse needles. She also...

I'm trying a paper piecing project for the first time. I won a "Tin Box Sampler Series" of gorgeous crackle charm fabrics as a door prize. There are very minimal directions with it to make nine Courthouse Steps blocks. I figured out the cutting, and construction, but now I have a couple...

Some of my recent projects are the last 5 pics shown in "My Quilts" album. http://community.webshots.com/user/twosonsatpsu Alice in PA

Woo Hoo!! I just called the shop that I ordered my new Babylock Quest from over 2 months ago, and they told me it's in!! I'm so excited! They have two shops, and must get it from the other shop. It's available for pick up tomorrow, but I'll be at a Penn State football game.....not MY first...

A group of five quilting friends got together over the summer to make some charity baby quilts. One lady is brand new to quilting, so we thought this was an easy project and would help her learn some basics. Also, it is a requirement of our Guild to submit at least one quilt a year for...

Two years ago I purchased an ironing board at Wal-Mart. It was their "deluxe" model with iron rest which is 48 inches long. Recently I'd been checking each time I went in there for a new pad and cover. All they ever had fit a 53 to 55 inch board. Several times I got an "associate" to help...

In keeping with Pat in VA's latest "hot topic", I just finished a Candy Cane Quilt in the Churn Dash pattern...all red and white. It's the last picture in my "Quilts" album. -- Alice in PA http://community.webshots.com/user/twosonsatpsu

After moving to PA last year, I was looking for a quilting group or guild to join. The one nearest to me has a limit of 50 members...and wouldn't you know it...I was #51!! But I'm patient, and was able to join this past week. At my first meeting (a wonderful Christmas lunch), I won two door...
