Sorry about that. I didnt realize what this group was for. My appologies.

Just come home from our craft club, where we had a demonstration of Baltimore Album Applique quilts - absolutely breathtaking! I took my daughter Jane, who completely fell in love with them too. Apparently an asset in making these, particularly if you`re doing a "snowflake" block is Freezer paper...

I have made a couple of quilts (tied) but need help from you artisans...... I am supposed to make a memory quilt of scraps from the many many little outfits I have made for DGD. Her mother really wants it. My scraps are largish for the most part (up to 8"squares are possible) She is 9 now. This...

Someone (here I hope) posted a website for a free pattern with a picture of this quilt. It is a quilt as you go ........ as I recall it was 80" x 80"..........I cannot find the link for the life of me. I have not yet cut the fabric for my first quilt and I am already shopping for flannel for this...

A beautiful Ariel panel arrived at my house yesterday, courtesy of a kind hearted Stashbuster. Thank you so very very much...........it is beaustiful, and my Granddaughter will absolutely love it. How nice you are!! Pat

I volunteered (don't ask) to make some dog bed mats or quilt things for the local animal shelter in our town.............I have all kinds of odds and ends to do it with. Can someone give me info on the how to?? They will be 3' x 3' and a few 3' x 5'........... Does the lady at Critter Comforts...

The lady is right! Embroidery machines tend to sew hard and fast, and the cotton does not hold up. I use polyester (40 wt.) and have not had any shredding problems ever...........Cotton is beautiful for quilts.........not so hot for embroidery. Poly embroidery thread is what you want....Tons of...

I have a Babylock Embellisher.............it is a great machine, by the way........ Does beautiful needle felting. I wonder why I can't take a base of fabric----maybe a sheet?-------and sew on large freeform shapes in a nice design and just needle them down to the base or sheet............I could...

I have a comforter, and all the stuffing is migrating, especially to the corners. I really like the design and colors, so I am going to re- batt it.........at least that is my plan. It is quite puffy, but I can live without that. What do you think about using Quilter's Dream Puff?? It is fairly...

I want to do about 3 layers of cotton for a summer quilt. I already have a duvet cover, which I have been using empty...........but it is just beige, and boring. Should I just raw edge applique some stuff on it? Better to start from scratch with a sheet? Needs to be quick and dirty.......and...

Sure hope so!!! It is the only way to end up with the quilt of your dreams!! Sorry for the late posting.........we got back from California (a visit to my Son DDIL, and Granddaughter!!! She has a shiny new adult toot and a space for another!! And she is great at piano!! Nice to be with you...

Thanks for the reminder, Kim. As always, your block and the presentation are first rate. Pat in Virginia "Kim Graham" wrote in message ... A new Bible block has been added to Quilters' Neighbourhood. Plus, make sure you stop by the main...

Does anyone have a link for a very looooong Santa hat? I would like to make one several feet long! ON topic note: I'd add some quilting to the turn-back cuff. :) Thanks in advance, Pat in Virginia

Hello! Thank you for the response about un stitching, and for the reading suggestions back in May, and for answering little questions, and big questions. I do appreciate all the times RCTQ members post or email helpful (or just silly) answers to my questions and requests. I don't take the time...

Good for you, Irene! I do hope and pray for your health. Congrats on finishing the table runner .... PAT "IMS" wrote in message ... Well, I can almost see the light at the end of this tunnel....Thursday was the...

Joan: Wow ... what fun music that is! I'd never heard the 311 music before. (I mainly just hear a bit of news on the radio on the way to work or such.) Anyhow, I like it. I read the band 311 is coming to my area this week. I wonder if it is too late to get a ticket. I wonder about the price too....

It is with glee and a sense of relief to announce that the Double Irish Chain quilt is pieced and at the quilter's. It is a lovely group of colors. This is a queen size quilt made for a quilt drawing to raise money for the Relay for Life. I coordinated the project and still have to sell tickets,...

One thing about soy ... it does interact a with certain medicines. So, if you take any prescriptions, be sure to check with your Pharmacist before adding soy to your diet. Also, if you do use it, it may be helpful to mention that to guests who might have issues. HTH. PAT in VA/USA "Kathy...
