  • Re: 2012 Pacific Northwest Quilt Retreat, Leavenworth, WA Sept 30-October 5.

    Well, as it sit here, leg in cast, up on a stool, I'm realizing that I'm just not going to be able to make it to the retreat. It will start just 4 weeks after I broke my ankle, and I'm still not sure yet how much I'll be allowed to be walking on it. But I do know that it will be much easier to continue to recuperate here at home, where

    Well, don't know what it is with us "women of a certain age".... but it seems it's always something. Others have had illnesses,backs, knees, and now it's my ankle. I fell off a step & broke my left ankle last Sunday, not supposed to need surgery, but will have it checked again Monday. HOPEFULLY by the 30th I will be able to

    I'll second what Gini said " for those of you flying in or coming on a train, leave the bulky stuff from those of us driving" I'll be coming up from Tri-Cities WA, about 3 hours away & will have the car to myself, so more than enough room for anything we might need. And I'll make sure I include a tube of oil & lube for

    [quote user="Patti"] last year we did get a package sent to us. [/quote] I'm going to be driving up from Tri-Cities, WA (about 3 hours) and will have plenty of room in the car for packages (if I don't pack too much for me, lol). So, if someone wants to send a box to me the week before, I'd be glad to bring it up to the retreat

    [quote user="Mimi"] [quote user="Diana"]Hope this helps.[/quote] . It doesn't seem that far from the Lodge. Maybe an afternoon trip with dinner out somewhere? [/quote] Mimi -- I've been in that area, it's about 100 miles from the retreat area to Cumberland Gap. Road is very good, but 2 lane, not a freeway. Up & over

    I've decided not to add borders, it's a nice size for what I need. I'll bind it with a nice 1" binding in the purple shown, and will back it with the ivy fabric. The yellow is brighter than it's showing in these pics. All out of my stash !!! Summer Day in the Garden

  • Re: Binding

    I've finished about 6 quilts now, (still have a few tops to be quilted), and I've only used straight binding. I would probably use bias if the edges of the quilt were curved in any way, but otherwise, straight has worked fine for me. And I've found that my arm goes numb when I do much hand work, I use a double-fold binding, sew the raw edges
