Great 1st attempt at quilting

chymerikaen: Another day of crafting and babysitting.: "the bag was actually my first ever attempt at quilting and making a quilted bag. I'm very happy with how it turned out - next time I'll probably add a gusset to the bottom. Here's the interior - very simple with binding and no pockets. I used some leftover satin blanket binding for a strap because I didn't have any webbing on hand, and she's an impatient little imp."

Great first attempt at quilting - I'm sure any little girl would love it!

A new reason to quilt!

Welcome To The Jungle... - Quilts and Cakes: "Quilts are helping me lose weight!"

I love this - if you keep busy quilting you wont have time to EAT! :)

tunkcreekzoe: quilt: "quilt
I do quilting; I do a quilt a day."

A quilt a day is FAST work! :-)

Great sentiment

Craftacular: Quilting: "Keepsake Quilting - By Rachel Paxton

There's nothing quite like the feel of an old patchwork quilt that was lovingly crafted by hand and worn in gently by countless generations. Anyone can go to the store and buy a quilt, but not many people ever take the time to learn the ancient art of quilt making.

A quilt is not just a bed covering. A quilt symbolizes comfort, warmth, and security, and a quilt made by hand is cherished even more because of the work that went into making it."

This is a lovely sentiment which reminds us why we love to quilt!

quilting studio

textileartist: Studio: "Here is the view from the other end. I need to move the quilting table about 2 feet down the room, as it's getting a little squashy. That's my design wall in the back left corner, I need a bigger one. That one is a cheap canvas, which I covered with cheap fabric, and pin the fabric too. Works okay for now. Cluttered sewing table, cleanup required. I might go to the op shop and see if I can find some cheap furniture for storage."

Does your quilting studio look like this?

lovely sounding quilt

Tune Queen: It's been a while: "My quilting is coming along well too. I've almost completely finished to top of the quilt. All I need to do is make a border around the square designs. Once that's done, all I need to do is fill it, and the sew on the bottom piece. Luc will have a warm quilt :) It's very nice and all hand-made and hand-stitched. It's plaid squares, alternating with light blue squares. The border will be navy blue, which will match most of the plaid squares as they pretty well all have navy blue in them. Once it's done, I'll take a picture and post it online."

Great quilt being made here!

Quilting Art

***To Far Away Places...*** - CALL FOR ART: "This wonderful living museum/art gallery, http://tohonochulpark.org is having a show sometime this summer, featuring fabric art postcards. The theme is related to Arizona. You don't have to live here to participate. I saw the ad for it in the latest issue of Quilting Arts magazine....The postcards must be postmarked by April 1.
Now to scheme/dream/come up with something....
If I use some of my fabric up, it will free up some space for
MORE FABRIC."

Start your creative juices!

Quilting thimble resources

hillsdaleliver: Quilting thimble: "Quilting thimble
Wow! Just came back from an exhilerating time at Magic Mountain, which is a true rush park for anyone that wants to get their rollercoaster ride ON! Yeah, baby, what a rush! And then I get back and tried to find some more info on that one topic that is been troubling me, quilting thimble, and bammo. I found every site I wanted to on that topic right at my fingertips. That one hyperlink took me right there and led me to the promise land just like I was hoping. But it did take a while."

Great links on this site.
