Hello, I have been cutting 3 7/8" squares out of scraps for a long time. When I get a moment, I match a dark and a light together and make some HSTs. Now I have quite a few.... Does anyone have a good idea for a layout? I don't want them all to just face the same way. I want something with a...

Since you all have given me fabulous and useful advice in the past - I'm going to ask for your guidance on one more topic. I received a huge plastic bag of vintage hankies that used to belong to my grandma. There has got to be at least 70 or 80. I instantly thought "quilt" when I saw them. They are...

I feel like have haven't completed a thing, but have been sewing regularly. I have made and gifted 5 baby quilts, and I have 3 homemade quilt kits ready to take south. I also have 5 or 6 quilt tops with binding hanging in my closet - just not much completed. My youngest nephew is getting married...

I've now made two bed quilts, two baby quilts, and am finishing up a set of six placemats (using Timm's Convergence technique). So, I'm not exactly a total novice anymore, but I'm still very, very, VERY inexperienced. I've only used very basic piecing techniques. Ultimately, I want to make art...

Hi everyone: Hope you are all well. I haven't had any new threads (so to speak) in a while. I'm happy to have a question to ask after such a long time. Actually, it's more like I need some advice.... Basically my mother in law really doesn't like me but we have to give her a christmas present. DH...

Most of us are over on Face Book now and Karen Tucker (Queen of Squishies) is doing another directory. You don't have to be on FB to be in it. If you want to be in it I'll let her know. Dodie (used to sign in as Dee in LeRoy, NY)

My absolute, hands down, NON favorite part of our favorite activity is basting. I will finish a top and leave it for years and years, just because I HATE to get down on the kitchen floor and stick stupid safety pins all over the quilt and then fasten them and then unfasten them again when I want to...

I don't know what went wrong, but I think I need to start over again! DS wants chocolate frosting for his birthday cake (this afternoon!). I got out my trusty Betty Crocker cookbook and found a recipe for fudge frosting that sounded wonderful! I followed the instructions: 1/2 c sugar, 1 T corn...

Okay I'm going to give you all a challenge. I saw a square on somebody's ebay store and I'm trying to find the name of it or a book it's in something????? I'll try to describe it but I'm not good at that. Think of a center square with an on point sq in the center....then 8 star points with white as...

My 8yo nephew is a great Doctor Who fan. I was planning a quilt for him now that he has his own bedroom and would love to find Doctor Who fabric to back it. Has anyone seen any, please? Thanks, Megwen Bath, England

Finally finished this quilt for a raffle at a local Art & Craft Show for our guild. It was a real trial to finish because the flowers were hand appliqued on to the pieced background and it was difficult to decide how to machine quilt around them. With hand quilting it is easier because you can...

Lessons learned from making a stained glass nativity wallhanging. (So far) 1. Although there may be no theological necessity for having Joseph on the left and Mary on the right (or vice versa), there are people who feel VERY strongly on both sides. 2. Done may be better than perfect, but...

Tonight I am having to post from Google, which I really do not like. I have seen things mentioned in the past about good places to use. I am willing to pay for my news if I have to just to read this group. I have done searches for usenet on line and come up with just google and one other, don't...

Forgive my spelling, when venturing into foriegn languages it is even iffier than usual. I was shopping today, sort of. Browsing for a new washer as my 15 year old Whirlpool has finally developed a problem expensive enough to fix that I might as well buy a new one. While we were in Home Depot I...

Comme vous tout savez, démuni de I circulant trop bien récemment. J'ai pris un intérêt en français, j'ai ai toujours aimé la langue. L'a prise dans le lycée, mais dû balayer vers le haut sur mes qualifications. Ainsi avec du temps sur mes mains, j'ai regardé dans lui. Comment est-ce que je vais...

Between you guys and some other local friends, I've been heavily tempted to buy a PDA. I've researched and chosen one I like (the Palm Zire 71), but I'm still trying to resolve some questions. (1) Will I really use it as much as my paper planner? I use the Franklin Covey system now and really find...
