I finally got around to quilting a top that I made a year or so ago -- a black and red Irish chain throw. I also recently completed a quilt that has been in my head for a long time -- a Storm at Sea throw. I wish it were big enough to use on my bed, but I really couldn't see myself making three...

I was wondering if anyone by chance knows where I might find a free pattern for a garter stitch adultsize beanie? Thank you in hope Elly

I came out of hiding. I want to decorate a quilted book with metalllic thread surrounding the edges of the pages. The thread does not move. I have tried all sorts of different feet and also have losered the feet. I have a kenmore. Help anyone? ceegee

Just think....if the Vikings hadn't sent Christopher Columbus the map to America...we'd have all ended up in Australia!!! LOL! J/K! (i really do love the Aussies.) Happy Day Off U.S.-ers!! amy

Returned from Phoenix last night. Sorry I had to cancel out on dinner with Pati and Butterfly. I was so tired and had a horrendous headache. DH and I were both asleep by 9 p.m. and started the long drive home early the next morning. I didn't get to visit any quilt shops tho I saw a couple I...

Hi folks, Just thought I'd let you know the story of our new addition. Last week DH and DS went over to Wick (45mile round trip) to go to Pets at Home so DS could get some bits and bobs for his two tanks in which he keeps a rainbow crab and in the other 3 hermit crabs. DD wanted to go along. Big...

I've been busy this past week... making pillowcases for our local domestic abuse shelter. We make them both pillowcases, drawstring bags and collect items (like paper goods, foods, clothing, etc) at our monthly meeting. On Monday, our guild Sit-N-Stitch will be meeting to make more. I've got...

I love this magazine and can't wait for the next issue each time. It's like going on a trip and visiting so many wonderful gorgeous, down right breath-taking, shops. I read it cover to cover - so much interesting stuff. Now I wonder when we'll be paying the American price ($6.99) instead of the...

I know some of you don't like Hancock's of Paducah. I've never had a problem with them and I do enjoy their wide selection. http://www.hancocks-paducah.com/Content.aspx?id=25&leftMenu=23&lr=n Here is a limited number of fabrics that they will ship free with a $50 order. Free anywhere in the...

Hi my name is Robyn and I am after a quilting tool called "Arc-Ease Tool". I saw it being used on Simply Quilts to make a Wedding Ring Quilt. I can't buy one here in Australia. I have tried quite a few stores, so I was wondering if anyone knew of a web site or quilting shop I could buy one...

I have finally gotten around to updating my web site with more pictures of my 2006 work and some of my 2007 stuff. The 2006 stuff is at http://webpages.charter.net/jaccola/Quilts2006.html and the 2007 stuff is at http://webpages.charter.net/jaccola/Quilts2007.html Julia in MN -- This...

i cant remember who was looking for Fairy Fabric, but i found some at Keepsake Quilting. you can go online or look in the catalog. it's on page 3 of the summer update 2007 edition. the Fairy Frost is below it. amy

For a particular project I have just bought a pre-packaged Hobbs (yes, Ragmop, I *know* it is made in Texas) Polydown batt. My problem is that the ends in particular are all creased up from being squished into its plastic bag. What is the best way to get it to lie flat again? If it were cotton...

Does anyone know about this machine? I saw it at my DIL's, and she said she used it when the kids were little, to press their pants. Said I'm welcome to it. Is it good for tabletop use, to press those 1/4 inch seams when making blocks? Gwen in SE PA

Six of us quilters are meeting Tuesday for three days of quilting and fun in Duck, NC. We are celebrating everyone's birthday during the entire year, and working on a quilty project. We plan to eat, drink, sew, soak in the hot tub, walk the beach, celebrate, shop and have fun....maybe not in...

I put my breaking thread query on the Janome Yahoo group and got an e-mail reply from Sarah Ann Smith, so I went to look at her gallery. Wow!! I particularly fell for her Koi quilt. Now I know how to do double sided! http://www.sarahannsmith.com/index.php -- Sally at the...

Though I wasn't sure about this batting, I have found that it behaved it self very well during machine quilting. It is very much like the Warm & Natural 100% cotton, though Warm & Safe is said to be made from plantation trees. It had the same clingy properties that I count on when I use other...

No one has hints about a good dark batting? Monique in TX

Haven't written in a while so thought I'd pop in and say hello. Yesterday (Monday) I woke up to absolutely NO hot water in the house. Ken called to let me know that we had no hot water after I had already discovered it...lol. Poor guy had to take a cool/tepid shower before he left for work. After...
