Aha! and Wow by Polly Esther
Inventing the wheel and the internet was nothing. Wait till you read what I did. I have a canvas-covered, gridded fake wood sort of board that I use for pressing quilt blocks (as well as smocking, embroidery and assorted other good stuff). This pressing tool is June Tailor's Quilter's...

top or bottom by Gen
I know we've had this discussion numerous times, but since there are a lot of newbies, I thought I'd open it up again. There are some that answer posts by posting on top and others that wait and post at the bottom of previous posts. Personally, I prefer posting on top, leaving enough of the...

Focus on Design: Card Tricks Sep 07 by Pat in Virginia
Hello! Every once in blue moon, I post a Focus on Design thread. The purpose is to encourage conversation about quilt top patterns. This is not the place to talk about the QI, nor chocolate, nor the relatives, nor weather; it is okay to mention those once in a while, but THIS thread is about...

OT Ladies Only 2 by Polly Esther[_2_]
At risk of boring some of you to tears, here's the final report on disappearing eyebrows. I didn't want to look like Tammy Faye, am a chicken about tattoos - for 2 reasons (1) I'm a coward and (2) what if they gave me that 'surprised' look some folks wear that looks like they just swallowed a...

Final Borders Assy Question by TwinMom
Ok friends, I'm at a loss here. I'm turning to the group to see what ya'll do. When I was taught to make quilts, one of my first teachers told us to put the side borders on first, then add the top and bottom. Something about seams around the top being uncomfortable when in use, wearing better,...

kaleidoscope quilt by Judy W
Hi all, I would love to make a Kaleidoscope quilt and can't seem to be able to find a pattern with templates to go with. Does anyone here know where I could buy a set? I don't want to use cardboard or any thing flimsy for the templates, so I don't want to make my own. Thanks, Judy

Sashing/Cornerstone Q. by Sherry
I just don't get this. It hangs me up every time, and it's surely not such a complicated thing. I just have a devil of a time getting the cornerstones/sashing to intersect properly (I used 2-inch little "border" between each 9.5 inch block,. I measured the blocks and squared them. Measured each...
