I was talking to a friend last night and he was saying that his mother had sent him another quilt........ANOTHER???? Apparently he about 10, he's not sure. About now I'm rolling my eyes and feeling the need for cool sips of water. I then launch into a "do you have any idea of what you've...

Welcome to the group Tammy. Yes there is hope. I am older than you and my 7th grade teacher was unbelivably horrible (first thing we made was a terry cloth beach cover-- she hated my seams and constantly made me pull them out). I am the proud owner of a D2 like you. Take all the free classes...

Has anyone tried a "Magic Tiles" quilt? A friend said she had just finished one, so I looked it up. Looks like a "Stack 'n' Slash" (which I HAVE made) with sashing. Also, the one I saw was a kit you could buy.

I hand quilt, but I can never seem to find a comfortable chair or position to do this. How do you do it? Are there any stands that help? I have a quilt that I want to get finished, but it is just a case of finding somewhere or a position to sit in. Where do you rest the rest of the quilt, so...

Stolen from Ronnie W: Here is a compilation of a lot of what others have already about buying a first machine, plus a couple of other comments. This FAQ also applies to those who are in the market for a new machine, having used one particular model for a few(?) years. Many thanks to Salley...

Stolen from the archives by Miz Sairy: What's a HUG? I've been on long enough, folks (although NOT since the earth cooled, as some might think :-) ) to jump in here. Until recently, I thought I'd received the very first HUG-quilt (which is indeed ENORMOUS, and breathtakingly beautiful, and the...

Does anyone have a quilters poem that can be used on quilt label? I am looking for something special to put on a baby quilt label. Any poem would do though cause it could be changed to fit the quilt. Not just the quilters name, but a lovely little poem to go with it. aeromom

I was wondering if someone could help me with a site for row or round robin swaps. I had a few but my 'puter crashed. Thanks for the help. TTFN RObin

Have any of you used Olfa's new rotary circle cutter? http://www.joann.com/catalog.jhtml?CATID=24915&PRODID=74025 It sounds like it would be nice for cutting a bunch of circles. I want to make this circle blue jean quilt http://quilting.about.com/library/0lib/bl0jeans_gallbaros.htm It seems like...

Just wanted to say Hi to everyone, welcome to anyone I have not met yet. I have been very busy at work and home, and have not been able to look at all the posts that come through here (and thats a lot!) There is a quilt show coming up in Vermont. Champlain Valley Quilter's Guild is putting on...

I haven't seen our Tutu blowing her own horn here, but we have a ribbon winner in our midst! My gang went to PIQF yesterday (and yes, our quilt is just lovely hanging up there *grin*), and had a fabulous time. We saw quilts, we ate, we saw quilts, we shopped, we ate some more, we shopped some...

It was a graveyard smash! It caught on in a flash! Trick or Treat Around the World is done!!! This may be my fastest quilt yet - it took about a month. A little longer if you count the time I left it up on the design wall before I figured out how to make it work with a light border fabric. I'm...

I was showing DH the limited quilting patterns that I have (from a really old Reader's Digest book called "Back to Basics") and he really likes a modified "Windmill" pattern. (There's the 9 squares of the windmill and then a border around them.) I can't believe it, but I'm actually going to try to...

Just a test to see if this goes through.

Good work Diana!! How often? Maybe twice a month? On the first and fifteenth would work. Corrections? Just a minor 'tweaking' of the first (welcome) paragraph. I have a suggestion to insert between your first and second sentences. "..... group of quilters. We want to read all about your quilting...

Re your private email which asked- who or what is Mesue- she was (and will continue to be)a much loved and treasured member of this group who has died earlier this week -far too soon by anyone's standards. I would have thought this was clear from the postings on the ng but if you have missed...
