    Is There a Quilter's oath? I knew there was a Quilter's Pox...It is the only disease it is ok to share and we do it with such grace. Oh Yes, there is an attitude that goes there.

    Do we really have secrets? The great thing about this board is that we all share our "secrets".

    I just did a "Dirty Little Secret" yesterday. I'm making pot holders and learning to do free hand quilting on the machine. When I finished quilting the first one, turned it over and straight down the middle, diagonally, There was an over lap of fabric a quarter inch deep. I was mortified. So------I turned the excess over to one side, stitched it down, then sent to the other side and stitched to match.

    Geeeese am I dumb.

    "Secrets"? In quilting we call them "Tips", simple sematics.

    Imagine the secrets our quilting "foremothers" must have had! I can't help but wonder what they'd think of the internet and our Little Board.
