I'm looking for a quilt block pattern for a woman's hat, preferably foundation paper pieced. Applique would be easier to design and I could do that design myself pretty easily, but I prefer piecing. I may have to work on coming up with something but it would prefer to find one already done. Julia...

Just checked the catalogue for one of the LQSs (Quilts Northwest, in Bellevue). Carol Doak is giving two classes, one of them on the 50 stars we were talking about the other day. I got all excited, until I saw the date. Feb. 22 and 23rd. Sofia is due on the 20th! :o( -- Dr. Quilter Ambassador of...

Droool, slobber, drooool some more! There were so many fantastic quilts What talent! Mickie Swall's quilt more than deserved the 1sst place it received! The comments from those looking at the quilt the same time I did would have made her proud. Some of those quilts showed amazing talent. There...

I was reading the thread about the backing fabric being a tad too narrow and knew exactly how that felt. I just used fusible batting on a baby quilt yesterday and the backing was only 1.5 inches larger than the quilt top. I was really worried that the quilting would pull it in too much and I...

DH gave me an envelope with $$$$$$$$ yesterday to purchase a new machine......2 friends just bought the Kenmore computerized machine made by Janome and are very happy. For a few hundred more I can get a Bernina - which do I want? I prefer hand applique, but would love to have a really spiffy...

Well, I have finished piecing the placemats for my Mother. Now I need to quilt them. For this, I am trying something rather new...at least for me.....free-motion quilting!! No, my machine doesn't let you drop the feed dogs....so I just took them off BEG. JOy sent me this really cool foot for...

Howdy all!! I've been busy these past few days, sewing, sewing, cleaning, walking the dog, and sewing. I joined a fashion doll clothes list on yahoo since I decided to try my hand at making clothes for my "nieces" and DD to play with, and they mentioned Image Station by Sony....There are NO...

Last week I had a miserable cold - blew and blew till I looked like Rudolph - and the old nose was some red and sore .... spotted my bag balm just before going to bed and decided to put some of that on all around the sore edges. You know ... the next day, my nose was so much better - the sting...

Howdy! We've finally gone DSL. (Thanks, Kathy A for the shove! g) eltex @sbcglobal.net (delete that little ol' space behind the x) will find me, I hope, somehow somewhere.... If no one hears from me in a few weeks, please send the quilters' rescue squad. ... ...

Help please. Please can some one point me the right way. I am looking for a cat design I'm sure its called a flat cat. Have a feeling there may be a couple of designs of the cat. Its black and white and in a similar vein to the dogs in Quilters Newsletter Magazine July/August 2003 I an sure I...

Hey girls, Does anyone know if there is a cotton batting out there that is somewhat "fluffy"? I love cotton batting for it's ease in quilting but lean toward the poly's for fluffiness when I do a lap size. But poly is difficult to quilt, particularly the high loft variety.....ideally what I'd...

Yes its still me. Using a different address because my regular computer has some sort of disease and won't sent outgoing mail. Don't reply to this address. MY UNIQUELY YOU IS DEAD!! It was originally my mothers, circa 1962, size 10 or 12. I've had it for about 20 years and built it up to a 2X....

I made a bit of progress with MY quilt today. No cutting or anything, but progress, nonetheless. I decided that I really needed to know how much fabric I had already collected or been given before I bought any more, so I took Rebekah's nap time as that opportunity. I have 47 different fabrics!!!...
