The "keeners" among you have already noticed that the February block was posted to Quilters' Neighbourhood yesterday --Birdie has already finished her block and sent me a picture I'll add her photo to the photos file on the group page of Yahoo later this week. This is a much simpler block than...

Hi, I've decided to go with a Husqvarna machine...I've got it down to two: a used Designer II (now called the Quilt Designer II) that doesn't comes with three stitch cards...N1, O1, and A1, but no E1 which has the quilting stitches. The machine is supposed to be less than 6 months old since...

Does it work? Yes? Why are you asking us? you know the answer... GO BUY IT!!!

This was kind of a rough week around our house. I had surgery on Tuesday for problems I've been having for almost a year now. My OB/GYN doctor removed two polyps that my regular doctor had dismissed as "nothing". (All he did was send me home with pain pills and told me "they never do anything...

Since we have so many areas of expertise here, thought I'd check with you guys for some help with our new puppy. Also - can anyone recommend a good newsgroup for dog/puppy questions. I looked at a couple, but there seem to be some very angry people participating, so I didn't even try to ask...

I found out today that mom has to have back surgery to repair 2 crushed discs, a herniated one, and a hole on her spine (?) Doc told her there was no way she could get out of it, and believe me, she tried! LOL The surgery is August 2, at 1 pm. She will be in for about 4-5 days, depending on how...

I'm a fairly new machine quilter - I've made one queen size quilt and a baby quilt. In class, I'm able to free motion quilt easily, using a Bernini or Elna. At home, I have a Pfaff 2046. I just can't seem to get it to free motion quilt without knotting on the under (bobbin) side. I have tried...

I finished my applique table runner and am happy dancing. Photos of it and also of my trip to Paducah (including a look at the shopping excursion to Hancock's of Paducah) are in my Yahoo photo albums. Table runner in the quilts album and Paducah photos, including Pat on the Hill's mini are in the...

I'm making this quilt for an auction to benefit breast cancer research. I think this will be the final layout but that's not the problem. I've been asked to give the quilt a name and I'm drawing blanks. Any...

Well after the first disaster, i HAD to try again.. so here it is... the 2nd attempt at the Monster Quilt for my DS. This time it's made from all cotton, no flannel... AND I fused it to the backing!!! :) I was able to save the minkee backing from the old one and use it again but this time i had to...

I finished a baby quilt for a very sweet little friend of mine. She's just 20, and this is their first baby. It's the last quilt in the folder "my work". http://community.webshots.com/user/hicall Karen, Queen of Squishies dancing in the...

Happy Birthday to you Sandy! Hope your birthday week is going well and you are loaded up with chocolate cake and lots of ice cream. Taria

.... but it is a TOP!!! http://community.webshots.com/photo/120900431/291641729AvVnoq Just needs borders, sandwiching, quilting, yada yada yada :-) The blocks came from a swap hosted by Terbear last fall. This is a blatant plug for Teri's Swaps: she is a great hostess and manages to nag without...

One of my guilds is having their yearly challenge. It is a squares challenge. The whole quilt had to be made up of squares. You could do anything you wanted in the borders (for a total of 3 or none at all), but the middle had to be all squares. One of the rules was that the "entire square has to...

I just posted some pictures on my webshots album (quilts folder) of the most difficult project I've ever done. This has been hung in my DH's office for quite some time, but is home now. It was a Christmas gift for him a couple years ago. This is the Karen Stone Double Nine Patch pattern made...

I am a beginner wanna be quilter, and my first post also. Hello everyone, I just acquired dept store swatch books with large scale floral drapery 10" x 12" rectangles. Colors range from yellow, blue, pastels, white and cream backgrounds with diff 6" and smaller floral prints, the...

I finally got a hug quilt and didn't have to have a crisis to get it! I've had enough crisis, thank you. I prefer to get thank you hug quilts! :D Thank you so much for those of you who were able to participate. For those who may not know, it was a thank you quilt for doing the directory. Now...

I spent about two hours rolling around on the living room floor last night trying to baste this full-sized quilt top and got about one-quarter done. My elbows and knees are a little sore right now and I'm wondering how everyone else gets this basting task done. (Most of quilting is something I've...
