Oh wow is all I can say.

Adding a label personalizes the quilt. My friend and I just gifted one and the label was very simple:
Sweet Dreams
for Joyce, 2018
made by Kelly and Martina

It states the name, owner, maker,...

I think quick and easy works well when you are in a pinch and need to get a project done in a short time. Otherwise, it will take as long as it will take.

Happy birthday, SillySusan. WOW - those projects are turning out wonderful. I need to get my butt in gear but work has been challenging so I need to focus on sleeping. I also need the hubby to change...

When my machine skips stitches (a different brand) it either needs the bobbin cleaned and oiled or it needs a new needle.

I use the Karen Buckley scissors and love them. They have serrated edges and they are comfortable to hold.

That's wonderful, Krisb. I have one too.

I pulled a UFO and decided on the quilting plan last night. Backing and batting is already cut too so now on to making the sandwich.

What a cutie! I would do some thread play.

I "upgraded" a machine years ago only to find out that it was a horrible beast in real life. It got so bad (noise level of the machine and bad words used by me) that DH insisted that I trade her in...

I don't know about that. It says in the videos from Elmers to Not heat-set the fabric as it would create a permanent bond.

Did you possibly copy your pattern on different machines? Sometimes the copier can distort a pattern.

In the "old" days when W&N still had a lot of roughage in the batt, it was recommended to prewash it to get all the oils out. It washed well in the gentle cycle. Now, I don't bother any longer. I...

You have been doing some GOOD work around here. I finished and delivered the "voluntold" quilt which actually turned out pretty. It was my first large FMQ. Now to pick a UFO. Not sure which one will...

The voluntold quilt is Done and delivered. Joyce Loved it and put it on her bed immediately. Later on she kept taking her friends in the house to show it off. That is the nicest compliment a quilter...

You can also make the 9-patch block first and then cut your snowball block to that size.

I just went through this exercise yesterday. I generally only figure on 40" for the width of fabric and I add at least 10" for overlap at the end as a fudge factor.

I just used this in the car yesterday - putting on binding on a road trip.

Maybe someone with a die cutter could cut the pieces for you.

We took my MIL over to see some relatives yesterday and stopped for breakfast close to a quilt store. I didn't even blink an eye when we drove by. Did not have the urge to go in and blow my resolve!...

I am ALMOST done with my friend's project. All I have left is to trim, bind and add a label. Then I can FINALLY get back on some UFOs.

I prefer to look at it more like the Weight Watcher program where you get to still enjoy yourself, you just can't eat the whole pizza (or buy the whole lot). Many of us came at this from the same...

Dang, ka9sdn - that is amazing.

I have to admit that I am not remotely interested to be THAT WELL-BEHAVED coz I do like fabric shopping, but I do tip my hat to those who stick to their...

That is a good question and YES, we mean to behave. This moratorium has been going for a few years. You should have seen us early on. It almost became a quest to see what we could get away with....

Kristakz, u r good to go, girl. 1. Birthday exemption. 2. Hombre = neutrals (and everyone needs neutrals in their stash). 3. Fabric for a specific project = OBW. 4. Saving a friend from...
