This is the person who posted sometime last week about being a lurker for about ten years. I have learned a lot from all of you during that time, including the fact that there is a place where you can post when you are looking for fabric. I am making a zoo quilt from the book Patchwork Quilts to...

What is all this about "squishies"??? THanks!

Was this past weekend, whew! I sold Xmas tree skirts, placemats, stockings, coasters and hot pads. I made nearly 400 bucks! Wahooo!

I have a chance to pick one up for 100 dollars. Are they ok for quilting? What do you think of them overall? Thanks!

So far no luck at all, I figure if anyone can help it's the folks here THanks!

Hello all I am new to the group, I have been quilting about 3 years so I am still quite the novice. I did enter my second quilt in the county fair and won 3rd place!! Woo hoo! I can't wait to get familiar with all of you!

My future daughter in law wants me to make a quilt in the colors of the wedding for her to use as the registry at the wedding. So everyone would be signing the quilt as they came to the wedding. Making the quilt is not the problem. I know that there are a lot of people who sign a piece of fabric...

I am getting involved in quilting classes at my local quilting store and am considering a lightweight machine to take to and from class. I've been looking at the new featherweights, and see that they are 10 lbs., which is a "workable" weight. The question I have is, does anyone know how many...

I am starting to take more quilting classes at my LQS and am considering buying a machine to haul to and from. If DH can have his hunting/fishing hobbies, so can I have my quilting....LOL. I have been looking at the new featherweights and would like to know how many spm (stitches per minute) they...

Hi all. Lurker here. I'm looking for a scrappy tote bag pattern that Anne Vaughan published on the Stashbusters group some time ago. The moderator cleaned up files and apparently it's no longer on there. A friend of mine admired my bag, made from Anne's pattern, and I'd like to direct her to...

I was visiting my neighbor who lives across the road from me, a 70+ year old woman who lost her husband just last year. We got to talking about quilts and quilting. Then she went upstairs and came down with a rather old box. She opened it and said that it had belonged to her favorite great aunt,...

After many screams of pain, I realized I need to pin my quilt with safety pins instead of straight quilting pins. (I'm quilting by machine, if that gives you any idea....."Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves for they will never cease to be amused"). Does anyone have any preferences as...

I am making a quilted vest with lining out of panne velvet for my SIL's birthday present. It will have a thin batting inside, such as Thermore. I have never made a quilted vest before, although I have made many vests and a few very simple quilts. I felt I would go a little creative with one of...
