Hello, I am looking for a cute but simple (and easy) pattern for a shirt, for a 2-year-old boy. I would prefer one that had a nice collar and long sleeves. Any recommendations? I'm also searching for a cute but simple pattern for a dress, for a 2-year-old girl. Any recommendations for that...

Well, the photos are real, but the quilts are virtual!! Joined a group that uses Carol Doak's blocks for quilt design challenges in EQ5, EQ6, and Quilt Pro. The group doesn't allow us to post pictures -- apparently only the owner posts pictures and then only if at least 10 people participate...

While clicking the various Donate buttons in the loop I decided to check out the gifts section of the Rainforest Site and found Indian batik blocks. So if any of you batik lovers wished to have one here's your chance to buy one, and the profits from the sale help save the rainforest. Here's a...

Hi, We have inherited a furniture suite with printed flowery Chintz pattern covers. With all respect to Chintz lovers, we aren't especially fond of the pattern ourselves (although they are comfortable), and would like to colour strip the fabric and dye/batik the covers. It seems that the cotton is...

Hello quilters... does anyone know where I might be able to locate a free cathedral window pattern? Thanks, Julie

The sparky came and sorted out things a bit, shifting the stuff that didn't work off the power circuit that was out to one that did work. A few minutes after everything was swapped another bloke came and replaced the fuse in the transformer, which is still working, apparently it blow due to some...

Well, I just tried my first free-motion machine quilting. When I did my lesson on the new machine, the woman at the store showed me how to set up the foot and got me started, so I thought I'd better try some at home before I forgot what she did. "Slow hands, fast foot" was her saying. I got...

I was looking at some of the older postings and one came up that concerned what is a "Real" quilt. Is it one made with hand stitched top or can a machine stitched be considered as valid. One of the features of my new computer is a Dictionary and so I ran the word Quilt thru the query window of this...

I've just been given another bag of fabric from someone who bought it for a project but then decided EPP wasn't for them. I suddenly realised this wasn't the first time, in fact qite a number of started projects with hexagons/hexagon shaped holes have been given me, usually with fairly small...

well, checked, and the links are up for the applique block (Thanks Jess!!) however, when I try to print out the tepmplates, all it gives me is a blank page!! Argh....any clue as to why this is? I can probably draft out the pieces myself, but since I'm printing them out and filing them for...

Hi Guys, I am soooooo excited because I just got my new Hancock's of Paducah catalogue and have ordered PIRATE fabric! Raechel -- the SMDGD -- thinks she is a Pirate! She loves Captain Jack Sparrow and was absolutely thrilled when she saw him and had her photo taken with him when we were...

She has a new set of patterns out and they're just beautiful. A little spendy at $11.50 each, but take a look. The new collection is called "Sea Breeze". Her espresso / coffee collection is still my...

where is Frood? Haven't seen or heard from her in quite a while. Sure hope her pirate mateys haven't done anything like make her walk the plank! Seriously, sure hope nothing is wrong and she is just busy with family and some of the good things in life. -- Kate in MI

Here's hoping Jan has a happy birthday today. Taria

Question: if it's painted, mounted on canvas and framed, is it still a quilt? Just wondering. Sunny

I have a queen size quilt here (I can't remember the exact measurements, but can provide if needed) that has become one of those "I am never going to finish this" projects. It is all pieced, the backing is ready, warm and natural batting is sandwiched with a backing (pieced in three pieces), and I...

This link is a complete how-to "quilt book" that has info on just about every quilting topic you can imagine. It's the one I always go to first whenever I need some tips, ideas, techniques or inspirations. Cruise this list and then go to their home page and you'll find even more topics- (plan...

Just FYI, you can find some rather nice free dinosaur applique designs at: http://members.aol.com/CHasenbach/indexeng.html For those who do not speak German, click "English Version" by the American flag. Then click on "Ichthyosaurus" about half way down. All nine patterns are still...

I finished the top this afternoon of the leftover pieces from the quilt from hell. The pattern is "Trip around the world". Boy is it colorful. I am going to sandwich it tomorrow and start quilting it and I will post the pictures as soon as I am finished. Now I am going to take a nice long Hot,...
