I've included lots of images of the best and most interesting quilts I've been able to find on the web & hope you'll give a...

Today I finished a memory quilt for a 9/11 victim's family. The quilt has been 2 years in the making. Although I live in Texas and the family lives in New Jersey, my husband and I are considering personally delivering the quilt (and two others made by friends for the children in the family) when we...

My brain must be turning into batting or something--I'm contemplating a big hand applique project--on black. It has to be possible--look at all the gorgeous quilts at Lotusland! She says she marks her quilts with transfer paper (on the front, one supposes) and then does needleturn. I wonder if...

since my happy dance of the other day did not show up, let me post a double one. Not only I finished my mom's aplique wall hanging in time for her to take with her last week, last night I finished the binding of a photo transfer WH for my neighbour who turns 50 today... we really like...

Found it~! Credited to Pat in Virginia: I love to stitch and turn (aka 'birth') the quick and easy projects! To prevent the batting from getting: twisted while turning, I have come up with ..... ta da ...... "Pat's Solution!!" Try this: Layer top to batting, right side up. SITD along block/grid...
