I had a pattern for a draught excluder, quilted of course, and I've put it somewhere safe! Very safe - can't find it, now I want to make some! Anyway, does anyone know of any online patterns/ideas as I have 6 to make and most are double doors, so better start now before winter arrives ;p) I...

Just wanted to post a quick note to ask about meeting up at the FOQ next week. So far, Sally at the seaside, Joan from Coventry and I will be meeting on Thursday, at 11.30, at the Quilters' Guild stand (which is usually just inside the main entrance). If anyone else is going to be around on that...

I know a lot of you have been to the Quilting outlet store in Tukwila... a lovely place. She's moving! Not too far, I think she said out on West Valley Hiwy somewhere, however...... She's having a huge sale! ALL of her books and patterns are 80% off! All of the fq's are $1, and batik fq's are...

Has anyone received a coupon through their email recently??? Critter Comforts: Quilts for Homeless Animals http://community.webtv.net/crittercomforts/CritterComforts

I was asked to make a quilt for someone and I've never done this. I'm wondering if there is software or something out there that can help me organize a layout for a simple 4 color squares of fabric blocks for a quilt. I'm not sure I'm making sense here. But I have for different fabrics and I...

After a long hiatus, I have a new computer and am back online. Took 2 months to get the cable company to come out and hook up my internet, and here I am! Now the big question: Does anybody remember me, or has it been too long?

I would like to make a miniature quilt for a Christmas gift, so I figure I better get started on it now. I am an experienced quilter, needle worker, embroiderer, and sewer, however the miniature world is new to me. I am planning a quilt that is approximately 8 inches by 10 inches. Do you know...

My friend has just gotten her first letter from her first pen pal. I'm going to help fix her up with a way to write back. She's as happy as a kid in a candy store! And she has no idea that anyone else is planning on writing. I do thank those of you who volunteered to pen pal with her, from...

Please send me good thoughts and lots of energy. I am finally quilting my "Remember Me" Challenge wallhanging. Nobody who sees it will ever know by looking how much work and time went into this simple, not very good wallhanging. But I know. I put on designn pieces and then took them off. I changed...

I volunteered to make a Halloween table runner to be auctioned at our church picnic the first weekend in August. Now, what do I make? I prefer not to paper piece....do you have any ideas, or know of any free patterns? I'm thinking something with pumpkins, leaves and maybe a cat. I'm not...

We've had so much talk about threads and needles lately, which I always enjoy. I received the following email from Cotton Club and I'm wondering if anyone has tried this and what your opinion is?? Sounds like a dream..... but I'd like to read some "user" comments if anyone has worked with it....

James' therapist asked me to try my hand at making weighted blankets, since the person she had been ordering them from usually has a 5+ week delivery time. Weighted blankets are prescribed by a child's occupational therapist to help with sleep issues and to give deep sensory input. You...

Hi, I have a pattern here that I need to make bigger. It is called a basket of flowers, but is not the same one as listed over on quilterscache. However the pattern called "basket of chips" is almost exactly the same, excpet the center block is just a large 6.5 in hst (not a bunch of little...

I have started a new project, I will make quilts for all the babies in our church. That will help reduce my stash and I can easily quilt the smaller quilts on my own machine. So far I have made two and delivered them. I have four more to make (for now, lots of young people in our church ;) ),...

This week three of my finished works are on display in my local quilt store. It's my first time showing quilts, and the first time for any art or craft in many years. It was pretty scary to bring them in, since I can see the flaws in all of them. But now I want to go back and look, just to see...

Hello, I delivered a new, reversible quilt to a friend yesterday. Chikako is 7 months pregnant and flying back to Japan next week, so that she can give birth there in October. I think this may be the first time I finished a baby quilt before the baby was born! New photos in the quilts album,...

I can hardly believe this is all I've gotten done in 7 months, but I just posted the three quilts I've made this year. I am working on learning free-motion quilting so I did two of the quilts. The other one I paid to have quilted because I knew I couldn't get it done in time. I plan to deliver...

And WAY more trouble than they are worth! http://www.flickr.com/photos/28328779@N00/1196807101/in/set-72157600567993584/ Next time, I'll go to Target and buy some. However, this a possible class in our next session at Country Sampler, so I thought I'd give them a try. My thinking is that people...
