"Cindy, that freecycle sounds like a great idea. I've been working some of my older stash into the charity/fundraiser quilts I'm doing, but it's a slow way to go. I have goods from my old drapery business that I couldn't part with…"

- Hi, riana. My email notification doesn't seem to be working either. Have been inactive on this site for several days now, but I have several forums/discussions & members pages I follow. I have been doing a little catch up reading here, and see several comments in areas I would normally receive email notification of activity...and haven't. Who do you think we should contact re: this? I have changed no settings...everything is public & not monitored. Hey! If I can't trust y'all then I be hanging' with the wrong group of quilters!! Lollol

I had no idea you can view the Quilt Sampler magazine for free. Thanks for the intel! I just love this magazine. I love to hear about stories of how people started small and now have a successful quilt shop. I dream of having one someday. Unfortunately I do not have money for start up cost and banks are no longer giving loans for brand new businesses. So in the meantime I have an online (mini store), www.quiltnstitchny.com and I am also a seller on etsy under the quilters candy shop. Anyway maybe one day I can be a success story in the Quilt Sampler :)) Anything is possible !! Thanks Riana I will definitely check out the magazine online on the next go around!

Elizabeth Phillips said… Hi Riana,
At quilt camp I just worked on 4 projects of my own. I got a lot done!
Today I went to a quilt-in for QOV. I started an interesting kit called "Scrambled Fat Quarters" and I will finish this quilt at home. In addition the organizer asked me to take a couple of quilts home to sandwich, quilt and bind. I took 2. What could I do - it is a very worthwhile project.
It snowed here this week but it didn't stay long. I wore a heavy jacket today. It was 48 degrees in the morning.

Lana Laqua said… For the quilt smart You sew the interfacing to the fabric then "glue" it down and then depending on the pattern you applique it from the top. I've used it for both a Dahlia and a Double wedding ring. It has helped me with those tricky patterns.

You asked about quiltsmart, here is their website: http://www.quiltsmart.com/ They use interfacing to help with making difficult patterns, like double wedding ring, dahlia, all kinds of things.
