RCTQ Quilting Week - What are you working on?
I'm so glad you brought that up, Alison. I've been meaning to contact
Wendy about hers for ages, and just haven't got round to it! I have one; but how do you get it to work? If I try to turn it, with one hand, by pushing on one corner of the top piece, the whole lot slides around. It slides smoothly if I hold the base, and if I have the top slightly kitty corner to the base. Have you got the base fixed to something static? Should I take off the corners of the base, so that there is only the top layer to touch when I want to push it round. I have been busy, so haven't had a chance to try all these things. I might be missing something, but it didn't come with any instructions for fixing etc, so perhaps that isn't the solution. I really want to use it. So could you or Wendy give me some pointers? I'd be very grateful. .. In message , Alison McD writes ...but I made myself feel better by buying the 12" square Olfa mat that has the rotating base...and isn't that the niftiest thing EVER? Alison -- Best Regards pat on the hill |

RCTQ Quilting Week - What are you working on?
Well, I have been doing a bunch of that. G
Sat. I had a T'berries meeting and a Moda Club meeting. Sunday I taught a class on the Ricky Tims' Divide and Conquer quilt (modified to use 4 fabrics). Monday I tried to catch up on things. Tuesday I slept and did a major CostCo shopping trip. Today was guild chapter meeting. I also finished the binding (top was donated to the group, one of our members quilted it, and I said I would do the binding) on a quilt that is to be raffled off this week/weekend. Tomorrow through Sat is the Sewing and Craft Festival here in Phoenix (which is where the quilt will be raffled.) This Sat. is also our local Dear Jane meeting in the afternoon. I am also working on my Denim and Diamonds quilt, finishing hand work on a couple of others, and starting a couple more. G Plus reading books and magazines, picked up a new one today. And got my first AQS mag in the mail on Monday too. Pati, in Phx frood wrote: So... how's it going? What projects are you working on? What other quilty things are you doing? Reading magazines/books?

We used the blue water soluble marker to mark the quilting lines. I have it
laid out on a shower curtain and have soaked it very well! We will then bind it and I'll wash it and block it square to dry on the basement floor. I get very flat quilts that way.

Do you spray the quilt with something to remove markings? If so, what do you use? What kind of markings does it remove?

Shopped after class ;-) Did a little sewing room straightening and hope, hope, hope to get some sewing time in tomorrow (if the sick kid is better) marcella |

RCTQ Quilting Week - What are you working on?
Been battling a wicked headache since last Thursday. :-(
But in between bouts of ache and bouts of fuzzy head from pain meds, I have started a warm wishes quilt for one Grandboy and finalized my setting plan for the RCTQ BOM quilt, bought setting fabrics and started the cutting. :-) Have *not* made a dent in the junk pile in sewing room that I now have to step over or around just to get to the sewing machine. :-| Anne in CA annerudolph AT comcast DOT net "It's not having what you want; it's wanting what you've got." -- Sheryl Crow http://community.webshots.com/user/annerudolph3 http://www.frappr.com/rctq frood wrote: So... how's it going?

RCTQ Quilting Week - What are you working on?
I'm working on a Froggie wuh for one of our Project Linus volunteers who is
moving away from Idaho. She loves frogs, so we decided to have a 'froggy shower' for her at our next Blanket Day (which will be the last one she will attend here). It's pretty cute - the frog is 3D. My chapter assistant is going to machine embroider dragonflies and butterflies - you gotta have those in the swamp with the frog! Besides the Froggie, I'm making golf tee pin cushions that are stuck in a spool - these will be in the goodie bags for our volunteers at our Blanket Day next month. -- Donna in Idaho Website: www.LinusIdaho.org "frood" wrote in message ...

RCTQ Quilting Week - What are you working on?
I have to admire anyone who attempts a Dear Jane.
I am finishing up a Cat and Dog quilt to be raffled by the Buddy Pet Adoption project. I'm working on several baby quilts for colleagues who are expecting - we have a very fertile staff and some are having multiples. I've kinda gotten into the 30s repros for these as they seem fitting for boys or girls. Then for myself (for once), in the planning stages is a bookshelf quilt. I've been wanting to do one for a long time and I've been scanning and fixing up some vintage family photos to use in it. In fact, I'll need to order some woodgrain fabric this week. The Virginia Quilter is the only place I can find it. It's a bit expensive, but free shipping this month. Oh, and I've got jury duty next week! Too bad I can't bring any handwork with me - no needles. I'll have to find a good book to bring.

Yesterday, I finished making the School Bags for church (school supplies are put in them and sent somewhere....). And so far today, I have finished quilting a kids comfort quilt for our guild. Just have binding left. |
