Don’t you hate it when the edges of your fabrics ravel and make a tangled mess in your washing machine?

Ouch!!! Have you pricked your finger and stained your quilt? Dab the spot with a drop of your own saliva before trying any other remedy. The enzymes in your saliva will make the bloodstain easier to remove. Sounds like an old wives’ tale, but it works!

Sooner or later, we all draw a “design” blank when working on a quilt-in-progress…or starting something new. Perhaps it’s inspiration for the color scheme (or an accent color), or an appliqué design, or a suitable quilting motif that has you stumped. Maybe it’s the entire theme you’d like to capture, or direction you’d like your quilt to take.
Start an “idea file” today by tossing colorful postcards, magazine photos, doodles and drawings, advertisements, and other interesting bits and pieces into a special manila file folder…and add to it regularly. You’ll have inspiration at your fingertips when you are ready to begin your next quilting project…or are stymied by the one in progress.

Thread a whole packet of needles onto your spool before you begin a new sewing or quilting task. Not only will you be taking advantage of your “fresh” eyes, but you’ll be able to clip the length of thread you need, and proceed smoothly from one needle to the next without having to stop and re-thread.

Look what I discovered??? - Having recently purchased a projector for classes I thought "hmm, what if I project TQS directly on to the wall from my lap top?" LOOK HOW COOL THIS IS? Perhaps your local quilt shop should host a TQS night for those who do not have high speed - Popcorn anyone?

We are about to start taping Series Three right after Easter. These new shows will start posting in July. We are able to create these productions because of the support of our Production Sponsors. We are extremely grateful for our good friends at Bernina and Gammill! Without their faith in our endeavor producing shows on TQS would not be possible. So our hats are off - these companies are our Oscar winners for 2008!
Sometimes it is VERY important to simply say thank you. Please join us and take a moment to thank our production sponsors.
