You will have a lot of fun with those, Rita. Keep your needle sharp.

Oh those are way awesome. I love the shades of brown but then I am kinda partial to that. Great tones there.

MassMama · « **Reply #3 on:** Jan 04, 2008, 09:44:25 PM »

I like the fact there are browns and blacks .blacks with browns and so on so you can mix match all those ones and make a cool design .. I have a BUNCH of needles

so youve been savin scraps penny, good start ya can never have enough scraps

k i took a pic of the catquilt had it hanging on the wall to get a better angle, n cut out the backround, thought to save it like that so i can past it into pics of diffrent fabric to see , anyho bb wanted in on it

thought it gave a good idea of the size

Triss · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 07, 2008, 03:42:41 PM »

Christy, it sure does give a good idea on the size. I did not think it was so large in the other pics. It is very nice!

Wrennie · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 08, 2008, 09:05:13 AM »

Me either. (Thought it was smaller) Thats cool you made it of real cats.

Penny · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 08, 2008, 10:29:50 AM »

Wrennie · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 08, 2008, 01:22:59 PM »

JoAnns ad just got here today. They have a calculator called a quilters calculator. I guess for figuring how much fabric for a particular pattern

I'm curious how its different from a regular old calculator

christy · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 08, 2008, 03:28:14 PM »

my math sucks, i could never figure those fabric calculaters out,
theres a free one on-line if ya wanna try caculator

Tonya · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 09, 2008, 08:43:16 AM »

Great article, Christy!! Too many people get ran off from sewing by thinking they have to do it perfect the first time!

I LOVE your cat throw! You sure did an awesome job! I was thinking it was WAY smaller, tho. Cute little sizer ya got there!

Penny · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 09, 2008, 08:59:19 AM »

Loved the article Christy, great find!!

Since i am a newby at this, i agree that it sounds complicated, but it hasnt run me off yet!!

christy · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 09, 2008, 09:24:29 AM »

Triss · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 09, 2008, 12:38:18 PM »

Penny, it really is not so bad once you get going. I am still nervous about it, especially the whole actual quilting part... I just keep thinking I will cross that bridge when I get there since I am still piecing together my first real quilt top.

christy · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 09, 2008, 11:55:58 PM »
