You're so welcome. I did it for myself and thought I could add to the community with my list. So many others contribute to this site and I learn a lot to be a member.
I'm glad you find it useful :D

I think you might mean this list created by me

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4117199/TQS_Show_INDEKS.doc

I stopped updating it a year ago, but you could download it and update it yourself and put you own words for finding subjects in it

You may be thinking of this list they posted when offering some shows free last year. It's not as specific but at least gives some help.

A comprehensive list of subjects is on the "to-do" list for ARJJ.

Until then, if you will start at page 1 of this forum topic, there are several references to different shows where Alex demos different techniques. Hopefully, one of them is the one you are looking for.

I know that someone has created an index, I think I even took a copy, but I am blowed if I can remember where I put it, it is in a safe place somewhere :roll: If you're lucky Margo will remember where to look and will let on :wink:

Hi Lotti, yes I've played with the pattern maker a few times already, it is wonderful fun and a great free tool too.

I found my V&A catelogue - nearly all of the inlaid wool coverlets were made by tailors (not that surprising they had the easiest access to the heavy wools) and at least one is reported to be double sided.

I also went through my latest book 'Quilt Treasures' which I got when I joined the Quilter's Guild and found an interesting unfinished coverlet that I really like
3749_img769.jpg
it has a great combination of shapes...... not sure if I will go quite this large, actually since it is intended for competitions, I might keep it small enough to go onto my large frame, which can take up to 54"........ I need to check out whether the (dress) pattern making paper I have will be stiff enough for the job (I have a large roll 30" wide)....... AND I OUGHT TO BE FINISHING Caught Red Handed FIRST!!!!!

Fabulous link Rita, many thanks.

Has anyone seen that great pattern maker?
Just what I've been looking for!
This would have saved me days when I started designing my niece's mosaic quilt (there are still only 3 of approximately 20 panels made... So don't hold your breath!

It's a great idea - but one heck of a lot of work. I was looking for my catalogue from the V&A exhibition but I can't find it right now. But I did go online and found this link:

http://www.vam.ac.uk/page/q/quilts-patchwork-and-quilting/

I was so inspired by the exhibition that I came home and made a scrappy quilt straight away. (which I then quilted really really badly. :roll: ) It was good to read about it again. I hope you give the idea some serious thought Rosemary. :D

I think Lois has a brilliant idea for you, Rosemary! My only hesitation is that you might get so involved in this project that we might miss you here on the forum. On the other hand, we could catch-up when we read the book, or see you at Houston! I'd go for it, especially since it was already on your 'to do list'.

'Inlaid applique' that is another term for it - glad to get that sorted out.

I suppose I could try something 'inspired by' the 1718 coverlet :wink: especially as it is already on my 'to do' wishlist
