. . . and crashing my car had nothing to do with it! I thought there were too few quilts and too many vendors. I would have paid more to see more quilts. This year's quilts seemed, to me at least, to be heavier on the art quilts and lighter on the traditional. Your thoughts?

I am working on my first baby quilt that needs to be finished by Feb. 26. (something I thought I would never make!!) I have almost finished the top, but I can't decide whether to use the blue or pink inner border. Just in case you are interested --- the keyboard border will be finished out with 9...

any knitter has a nice pattern for a vest that might fit a slender 11 month old? DH bought this beautiful hand dyed yarn but I don't think it is enough for a sweater for Sofia. I'll attempt a vest first, otherwise it will be a hat and scarf or something of the kind... marissa celebrating many...

Yesterday I finished the machine quilting on a king/queen size log cabin quilt, and today I put the binding on. I made the top a few years ago, and it has been sitting here waiting to be quilted. I did a stitch in the ditch between the blocks using my walking foot. Then I did free motion SITD...

or anyone else on Long Island, if there are any LI lurkers. Do you know of any long arm quilters around here? I haven't have any luck finding anyone around here who does long arm quilting. If you know of anyone, what are their prices? Any quilts that I wanted quilted in a pattern other than SITD or...

I was in the express lane at the store quietly fuming. Completely ignoring the sign, the woman ahead of me had slipped into the check-out line pushing a cart piled high with groceries. Imagine my delight when the cashier beckoned the woman to come forward looked into the cart and asked sweetly, "So...

Anyone have one? If you do, which piece of Drunkards Path goes on top...the "pie" or the "crust?" I always put the larger piece on top when easing a curve the conventional way. TIA Nancycog in MD

I am an author with the American Quilter's Society and received notice that they will be showing a series on TV featuring authors and their work on a cable station. My book is "Rhyme Time Blocks". I don't even know if I'll be featured and I won't be able to see it. :( No cable. It starts January...

Friday and Saturday was my ASG chapter's annual sewing getaway. We headed off to the middle of nowhere to a spacious B & B and sewed away. And you are correct, I didn't tell you I was leaving. I know better than to announce to this group that my stash was going to be unguarded for two days! I...

Guys, I hope this doesn't seem presumptuous ... I've been back in rctq for -- what, less than 48 hours? -- and I already have a hug request. Everybody hear about the La Conchita slide south of Santa Barbara? The one where people were killed in mudslides, and more people lost their houses? I...

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 Holmes and Lee Hinton...

Okay - I'm officially back - at least for the most part. I finished the Anniversary quilt that was weighing heavily. It is through the washer and looking every inch the way I'd hoped. I now can't wait for the presentation which will not be for two weeks. So that means I can bask in having it...

Just joined AQS this morning--and noticed that members can buy EQ5 for $88. And since membership is only $20 and gets you 5 issues of their magazine as well as other discounts, that seems a good deal, no? --Heidi http://community.webshots.com/user/rabbit2b
