    Charity quilt auctions and donations

    I've been practicing FMQ on some very artsy quilts. The piecing and colors/fabrics are really interesting. However, my FMQ is 'custom' at a beginner level. I didn't use templates but did what seemed...

    What I've done is find Australian fabrics or florals that can stand out and downplay the mauve. I use it as a 'filler' color. Mauve was overdone in the '80's and I doubt it'll have a major place in...

    That's a decent price

    I got one shortly after they first came out and paid $700 but no table was included. Looks like you're getting $100 off regular price. It is easier for travel and taking to classes.

    This has happened to me when my fabric is a bit thin (i.e.: pre-washed batiks) and needs sizing or starch. And/or your thread looks like it may be thick for the fabric you're working with.
