OK, I don't know 3 posts in a day! Anyway, I want to make a wall hanging to cover a glass partition wall in our house. It has little panes of glass about 12" x 18". My idea being that I make a quilted rectangle with a cutout in the middle, so that light can go through, perhaps with a see through...

I am a beginning quilter. I am attempting to make my mother a double Irish Chain using Eleanor Burns "quilt in a day" pattern. Well, I have the top almost finished (minus the borders which I still am not sure what I am going to do) Somewhere along the line my measurements got "off" and so I have...

Am I crazy to try this? Any advice or other ideas? I've never done anything like this before. I am going to approach another quilter this week with the idea. Viewers Choice Quilt Show Quilters show a child's quilt (36"x36" minimum size).

Hi, if you have the time, please take a look at my homepage http://quilt-hb.gmxhome.de/ go to WIPS, there you'll find a small picture of my current WIP. Click on it and scroll down. There you'll find a photo of an attempt at meandering/stippling. What do you think ? I think I should make smaller...

What do you use to clean genuine wood cabinet doors? I can NOT use anything that will have any lingering fragrance especially citrus. Thanks Butterfly (Their maid must not have been able to reach anything higher than 5 feet SIGH)

I need your opinion, should I use the diamonds or the squares on this quilt? This is a Christmas present for my new daughter in law so it has to be perfect! The picture is below: http://tinyurl.com/2eeywt Thanks! Gwen

Hi there- Thought I'd tap the collective knowledge of our group for some advice about a quilt I'd like to make. I'm looking at the pattern from the cover of this book http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1564775283.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg (Stich and Split Applique) which I've recently purchased. I would be...

I have cut out a lovely butterfly that I want to put onto a finished block for interest. How do I get fusible sticky wonder under-type stuff onto the back of this little butterfly? Should I also use stabilizer on the back of the block and then stitch the butterfly down? I think that I heard...

I just got a Pfaff 2440, and I am sewing along straight stitch piecing, then the fabric just stops moving along, and the needle sews on ine spot until it pushes the fabric down in a hole and I can't free the fabric or the thread mangle. I have adjusted the top tension and reinstalled the bobbin,...

Hi all! Been too busy recently for all but run-by readings of the latest messages, but I'm now done with business travel and I think shopping for the rest of this year, having just gone to San Francisco, then come home and bought a sectional for the new loft. I can buy food and pay bills now,...

I finished a Yellow Brick Road quilt top, and my DD really loves it. I want the finished quilt to be soft and huggable for watching TV (she is always cold!). I was thinking of backing it with flannel -- but which? Is there a special thicker kind I should try? What is all this stuff about single...

I need some advise from all you knowledgeable ladies (and the gents out there too). This weekend I found some fabric I really love. I purchased some along with one of the coordinates in the series to make a purse. After leaving the store my mother and I were talking and I decided I'd like to...

Hi, I remember someone here posted about sending out their tops to be MQ'd at a pretty low price. I tried to do a search and couldn't find the information. I am looking for someone to to a fairly simple all over pattern or pantograph. The top I have is a friend's and she wants it quilted. I...

Thanks to all of you who've welcomed me, expressed interest in GRANDMA-2-GRANDMA and the batiks these Tanzanian grandmas raising their AIDS-orphaned grandkids create. AND for the tip about posting pix on www.webshots, which I've done. So you can see some of my African wallhangings (and even better)...

I'm quilting DS1s jungle animal quilt. There's a picture of it at: http://www.askv41.dsl.pipex.com/mhp/quilts/quilt_gallery/HPIM0015.htm I'm stippling all the blue areas to make them recede into the background. I'm quilting around the animals to make them stand out. My problem is what to do with...
