Each year my Christmas fabric stash and scraps grows larger. Sometimes I use fabric that is too thin or stiff to made bags to "wrap" my gifts in and always use left over strips as the ribbon. I do not like to fold table runners or toppers so I roll them instead. Keeps them from getting creased and looks lovely under the tree. Provided I posted correctly there should be a picture of both the runner before and after wrapped.
Well, I just read about a fabric moratorium going on the quilt board. I was not involved in this years moratorium, but, 2012, well thats a whole different story. I have just about filled the spot I have to store fabric. And I do have other spots it could be put, I'm not going to do it. I am going to stay busy working on projects that were started last year and this year. And using up as much fabric as I can that I already have. And I want to get some scrap quilt tops done to start quilting in 2013. ...
Well, I started my first swap here on the quilt board with the October DQ swap. It was so much fun and my partner was just the bestest. We were both newbies together. So far, I have continued to join a couple more swaps here on the board. I'm having a lot of fun and growing as a quilter. I'm learning lots of new techniques and pushing myself in new directions. And I'm meeting lots of new, caring, and inspiring quilters.
I have made these for Christmas gifts no pattern just using what I have each one personal for the girl I hope they like them

Hard to believe there's only 2 weeks left until the big day!
FONT=Comic Sans MS]It is another cloudy day here in Kansas. It seems 90% of the days are overcast. Tomorrow should bring rain, at least it is forecast. I am busy quilting a wall hanging for Christmas for my daughter. It is Ophelia the pig and is looking pretty good if I do say so myself, lol. I hope to have it off the longarm later today and get it bound by tomorrow before time to go to guild. If I can get both it and my son's queen sized quilt bound, they will go in the mail tomorrow. ...
Thanks! Very, very good site, a lot of good patterns! Originally Posted by Julie in NM http://www.fatcatpatterns.com/Miscellany Designs.html She has lots of free patterns. Making coffee mug mug rug for two galls at work and the cupcake mug rug for someone else since she doesn't drink coffee! Fast and easy applique.
How do you mark your quilt for stitching the design. I have tried golden paper, chauk and have had poor success. How do the rest of you do it? Thanks
I have searched the internet and any quilting magazine I can get my hands on to find any Gone with the Wind Fabric. I need the brown/white sateen and the pale yellow(maybe off white) with green sprigs on it. Can anyone help me or tell me where to shop. Thanks, S
