Did you know you were quilting with me last night? Yes - all of you. I was working on my current project last night & with it being the first quilt that I am binding, rather than sewing envelope style, I had lots of questions & some problems.

First problem I encountered was that I discovered I did not have enough fabric for my backing. So, I rushed over to the computer, did a search here for pieced backings, got some great ideas from you, and pieced my backing to my liking.

Then, I found that the piece of Warm & Natural batting I had was not wide enough. (are you seeing a common theme here? Note to self: buy extra!) No problem, searched again, found out how you have pieced backing together, followed your instructions & my batting was perfect.

Then, ready to start sandwiching my quilt top, batting, and backing, I searched again, made note of your tips and techniques, and armed with my can of Basting Spray (my new best friend!), I basted my quilt together! Easy peasy! What was I so afraid of?

Tonight I will be doing the quilt stitching & binding, so stop on by if you would like to quilt with me again. Hopefully I will have some pictures posted on Friday.

So, thank you for being there with me last night. Oh, and in case you didn't realize it, you pulled an all nighter. We were so into quilting that we didn't go to bed until 4am!

Been there, done that! Can hardly wait for the pics!

I missed all that by going to bed early. I did get up at 2:30 and have been here ever since. Glad you had a good night of quilting.:)

I had tons of fun quilting with you last night.
Let me know when we start tonight.

I am glad we could be of great service to you and quilters. It is our pleasure to do so. Cant wait to see the finished project.

Yes, I've quilted with so many on this board! The information is invaluable!!!

No wonder I'm so tired today!

It felt so good knowing that I had someone else quilting with me last night!! It was fun! Not sure I can make it today but I will try!

I do that too. I have followed a tutorial for the Hunter Star, learned how to attach binding using the glue and iron method (which I love to use now), was inspired by an I Spy quilt, and I now have a long list of to do quilts.
I love this site.

Isn't it just great having so many friends to quilt with and ask questions. This is the Best place to be!

How lovely that you had all your friends to call on, great aren't they!!

Glad I could help, LOL! Unfortunately I was awake during your entire sewing stint - but it was because I have a miserable cold and was coughing my head off! Had to sleep in my recliner so I could breath! Nice to know there was someone who was actually having fun being up all night!

The wonderful members of this board have helped me with many of my quilts. I don't know where I would have been without them. And it amazing, when you think about, just how many people are part of the quilts we make.

This was an adorable post!!! I have thought this way but never knew how to put it into words. Have a VERY Merry Christmas and Healthy New Year

I will be up and sewing with you tonight :D I will enjoy your company :D:D:D

Isn't this Board the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew I was. I'm happy to quilt with you anytime.

Well...here it is 12:30am and I are making progress. Did all of the machine quilting tonight. Turned out surprisingly ok, seeings how this is my first time doing anything more than SID on the border of a baby quilt. This quilt will be 60x60 finished. A lot more to handle. Can't imagine a king size quilt. Tomorrow night I will do the binding - also a first!

Off to bed I go. No way I'm doing an all nighter again - a cowgirl does need her beauty sleep! :)

Gee! I have a new skill -- quilting in my sleep -- who knew? And I must be good, there was no evidence of blood this morning, but I really needed that cup of coffee.

We had a blast, didn't we. I got a little "pre-sleep" but was up way before the rooster crowed to work on my project and with you.

THAT'S why I don't feel rested this morning :roll: :lol:

Cool! I thought I was a little more tired this morning.

That must be why I am so tired today!!!!!

it's great to be able to do that - I find out lots of info on this site

What is the "glue and iron" method of binding? I haven't seen that.

Am certainly glad that we could help!!! LOL

that is sooo wonderful glad we could help in your time of need

I'm so glad to have found this quilt board. There are always great ideas and so many people willing to help. It never seems to take too much time to find answers here. I don't post too often but still come in and get so much information to get me through problems and new ideas. Thanks everyone.

I love quilting buddies! Lets do it again tonight!!!

Oooooh yes, many a nites with all you wonderful members!!!

I am glad so many of us were there with you. I didn't actually help, but I was quilting away! Hope to see the pictures soon.

Hi Cowgirl! After reading your message, I thought what a great next door neighbor you would make!! :-) Merry Christmas to you!

I'm glad you were quiet and bc you didn't keep me up to long. :lol:

I'll brew the coffee and will be ready to go again tonight!!! I had a great time last night and we got so much done. I love your fun email post. I love this board so much.

So, that's why I couldn't sleep!

Glad we could help!
