I still dont fully understand how you make templates....

and as I posted a few days ago in JaNell's quilting thread:

could supply the cabin on the lake for a quilting bee... lemme know what you think. I really want to start quilting. But I don't want to do the traditional stuff. (why do I have to be so complicated!?!) And the project I tried a month ago turned out just aweful. I need guidance.

Just let me know a good weekend and I'll book it. There are tons of folding tables and electrical outlets. We can make it a overnight thing as well. lots of coffee... Mmmmmm....

I have a rotary cutter and a self healing thingamagig that grandma loaned me but I dont have room in my little apartment to set up my sewing machine (which is REALLY OLD).

Wheee!!

P.S. If you happen to wonder into kville again LadyB your more than welcome to join us!

I would love to participate in a quilting bee.. however I work 7 days a week so it will be more difficult for me.

I've already completed a baby quilt by hand and it turned out well. I'm sewing the quilt for my bed by machine.. just got to get the squares cut!
