PA National Quilt Extravaganza-Harrisburg, PA by
Alice in PA[_2_]
Did anyone go last weekend? It was nice, but not as large as last year. We
heard rumors that it will be held in a new location next year. I got to see
lots of patterns, fabrics and gadgets, and a one hour lecture by Jennie
Rayment. Also, I bought a gorgeous quilt kit called "Raise the...

Stash by
Alice in PA[_2_]
While taking a class today on projects to reduce stash, we were asked if we
had to move ....would our stash fit into a small pickup, a dump truck, or a
tractor trailor? We had several in the first two catagories, but no one in
the third! Where would you fit?

Quilting slowdown by
Alice in PA[_2_]
It seems that I just can't get to my quilting. Everything else seems to get
in the way! I did make a wreath wallhanging to donate to my church bazaar.
The pattern was the same as one I'd made a couple years ago. I also sewed
some leftover strips together to make a baby quilt similar to one I...

T-shirt quilt kit by
Alice in PA[_2_]
While looking for some last-minute gift ideas, I came upon this site.
http://www.uncommongoods.com/item/item.jsp?itemId=16406&source=hp_item_text
Do you really think a non-sewist could put together a quilt using Minkee and
octagon templates? It does get good reviews!

Two projects on Webshots by
Alice in PA[_2_]
Last fall I damaged my favorite winter coat by getting too close to a
propane heater at a football game. I couldn't wear it the way it was, so I
got adventurous and "appliqued" some leaves over the bad area. You can see
pictures of my repair at the end of my "Other Projects" album. I'm happy...

New photos of projects by
Alice in PA[_3_]
On the last page of my Webshots Quilt album. The drunkard's path table
topper was made using a machine applique process for doing the quarter
circles. It's not the best thing I've ever made, but I hate to waste
anything, and it's perfect for my bachelor son's apartment! The Log Cabin
quilt...

New pictures by

The last two photos in my Webshots Quilt album show the second scrappy
tumbler quilt I've made. Even though it looks like I used a lot of
tumblers, I still have tons left!! They are fun to do, and provide a great
place to practice free-motion quilting!

Who posted... by
Alice in PA[_3_]
the photo of a baby quilt recently that had bright colors, nine patches in
the center of each block, and the colors in each block formed an arrow? I
wanted to keep it, or re--create it on EQ, but I can't find it. I've been
reading the newsgroup on two different computers, and I'm at a loss as...

Finished project by
Alice in PA[_3_]
I hope everyone is surviving the rain and wind! The nasty weather inspired
me to finish a project that I started years and years ago! My DH and I have
three boys. When they were much younger, I used to make all of their boxer
shorts. I worked in a fabric store, and every time there was a...

Hersey PA Quilt Odessy by

Did anyone go to the Hershey Show? A friend and I spent most of the day
there Friday. Lots of beautiful quilts in the show, and many, many
interesting vendors. I bought one of the new thimbles mentioned in
RCTQ....rubber with a metal tip. It really felt good on and didn't slip
off, so can't...

Where is it? by
Alice in PA[_3_]
I was all set to finish a table runner with some stitch-in-the-ditch
stitching. I usually use my zipper foot to do this. After spendng over an
hour looking, I've decided that I must have thrown it out with some scraps,
etc.! My machine stores all the feet in it, and I never put them anywhere...

For those of you who read my post last week, I have further news.....good
news.
I had visited a Joanne's store for the second time to pick up an item that
the staff assured me they always had on hand....but they didn't have it. I
asked if I could place a special order, and after waiting almost...
