You might want to pre-wash any fabrics to be used for holiday stitching if you want them to be merry and bright. The brilliant reds and greens I used for placemats and table runner bled and faded to muddy toast. Probably this could happen with any other color plan if you are into a magenta and...

I was looking at the website for the Houston Show that is in November. I noticed all the classes they offered. Just wondering has anyone here taken the classes in the past? Barbara

Hi all. Just a quick note to ask for some positive thoughts tonight. (Fri.) and on through the weekend. Wed. night I was in for an overnight sleep study. I do have apnea, and some other problems. None life threatening, but probably the reason for the no energy, constant headache and so on....

My DD and I were just talking about our latest quilt projects and what we like best about quilting ... it was probably the best conversation we've had in a few months! So I was just wondering what ya'll thought ... What's *your* favorite part of quilting? Why? Mine is the hand-quilting ... I've...

I'd been saving the handwork on my latest quilt so I could take it with me to my jury duty. It's a good thing I called the day before, though; they not only didn't allow *any* scissors -- they didn't even allow needles! :O BTW, jury duty (my seventh in 9.5 years here) was at least partially...

Between the wedding and Christmas goings on, I never did wrap gifts; just sacked them and handed them out. That was okay. The traffic coming through all seemed to admire the barren Christmas tree skirt and begged for one. So. I would like to make four before Dec 1st. Here's ambivalence at...

I think I would like to try a block of the month in 2004. (Or maybe a block-every-two-months - I might actually be able to keep up with that!) Anybody have any suggestions on where I can find a good one? I'd like something mostly pieced but an applique block or two would be OK. And it would be...

------------------------------------- Hello everyone, I just joined and have a question. Does anyone use the Mega Quilter on an Inspira frame? If so, how do you manage to do a bed quilt on it without having to turn it around half way thru because the throat is too small? I now have 15 tops...

There's a lovely bouquet of feedsack FQs sitting on my cutting table. They are not saying a word. Have any of you made a quilt from the feedsack prints that you love? Want to recommend anything? Or shall I just wait until they speak up? Polly
