That is just beautiful!!

I run everything except precuts through a regular wash/dry cycle with Tide.

That is wonderful news!! I have been hoping and hoping for you that things would turn out positive. I don't know why the wheels of justice turn so slowly, but glad it is good news!!

I'm on a fabric diet and it's going pretty well! I did break down and buy a few charm packs to mix in with my solids/blenders stash, but that's about it. I haven't been on the forum much because I've...

Happy Bday Cyndi! I hope you have a wonderful day spent with your family.

I agree with everyone who said to just nicely said that you don't have the time. You could also say that you don't have experience sewing with clothing (which can be very different than quilting...

One thing that is easy and fun to do with charm squares is little "pillow" Christmas ornaments. She can pick any 2 charm squares and sew them right sides together with running stitch or whip stitch,...

I guess you could scale it down by using 2 1/2 squares and 1 1/4 strips, but the easier way would be to just make fewer blocks!!

LOL you all are cracking me up, especially YOU Sandy!! I like Terri's idea though, of sorting out what I have and then seeing what coordinates with that.

My stash is currently arranged by size-...

There are SO many cute fabrics out right now! While I don't have a huge stash, I have enough that I really don't need to buy anything. For budget reasons, I have been sticking to thrift store/yard...

I have never done hand binding, I use the machine to bind, but I have always matched the thread color to the binding itself not to the quilt back. Another option would be to use a neutral thread,...

There aren't very many near me doing the Row by Row either. My LQS is, but otherwise I'd have had to drive quite a ways to find any other shops doing it. The next closest was 30 minutes away, and the...

Nancy did an episode where she demo'd the flower stitch foot, it was one of her "fancy footworks" episode. I think you can watch them free on her website.

I love this new tutorial! I even have some fabrics already that will work with it, so I"m really excited about that! :)

I haven't seen this system before. What is the thought process behind cutting 2 1/2" squares rather than 2 1/2" strips? It seems like strip piecing those would be easier, but I haven't seen the book...

This is an interesting topic to me as I have just been reading a Tula Pink modern block book that I borrowed through our library. Many of "her" blocks are to me very common and traditional ones.

I am an avid thrift store shopper! I don't know what advice I can offer, but I like thrift stores mainly because I'm thrifty! ;) lol I have made quilts with thrift store fabric, thrift store shirts,...

Oh gosh send me whatever is easiest for you!! I am very appreciative!!!

Thank you everyone, this is great!

April I am looking for 5" squares, so one of each of yours would be wonderful. I will PM you my address.

And Priscilla all I can say is WOW! Lol! I am just...

I would leave it alone. I played "spot the mistake" with my parents & sister once on a Jacobs Ladder, and no one could spot the mistake. Actually, they guessed lots of things that were actually...

I sent you a message Lilly!

I did see the swap group, but I don't have enough I Spy type fabrics to do the group. So I thought I'd see if I could use what I have via trade instead. Thank you...

Thank you both! Lilly yes that is the type of thing I am thinking of. Any kind of novelty print or even florals with nice sized flowers would be great too! I am looking for just one of each print so...

I have been slowly gathering squares for an I Spy quilt, and am looking to swap for I Spy 5 charm squares so I can get more variety.

I could send you an equal amount of fabric in blenders or...

The 2 that I had done were back in 5 weeks total, from when I shipped them to when they landed back on my porch.
