I AM QUILTING "ILX FOREVER"

and the good AMT stuff is amazing. i just rely on reviews to help me avoid the gratuitous stuff. have you heard La Novia or Electric Heavyland? I rate those quite highly.

wake me when AmT gets to their inevitable 50 CD-R boxset.

Yemen, one of the poorest countries in the Arab world, reported strong growth in the mid-1990s with the onset of oil production, but has been harmed by periodic declines in oil prices. Yemen has embarked on an IMF-supported structural adjustment program designed to modernize and streamline the economy, which has led to substantial foreign debt relief and restructuring. International donors, meeting in Paris in October 2002, agreed on a further $2.3 billion economic support package. Yemen has worked to maintain tight control over spending and implement additional components of the IMF program. A high population growth rate and internal political dissension complicate the government's task.

I used to quilt a lot and then I made the mistake of putting candy crush on my phone. But this year I have a goal of minimum 5 quilts to make. One I need to make by the end of the month (will be minimalistish). Will post pics if I can get my shit together.

I am intrigued by this.

Need update on yerac’s quilting pls

omg. I was kind of bad and only made one quilt. and I procrastinated and procrastinated (it was a gift) and then busted it out in like 3 days. And it was sooooo hot in our apartment and I was sweating my ass off. I am going to find a pic and post it. I am sure the pic is not great, bob. I end up tossing it on the floor and trying to take pics from the coffee table or wherever.

I am using Karl Malone's posting image tute. I kind of slacked off on the actual quilting part just so I could finish in time. I am trying to see if I have a pic of the back.

this was 5x5 feet.

dat quilt dope af imo

thx!
I do not have a good pic of the back. I have a horrible pic of it before it was quilted together and from my old house. I made two of the same back design a long time ago and then ended up finally using it like 7 years later. But i like super simple designs and the blue fabric /design is of tall buildings.

awesome! i want to quilt

so so jealous of these awesome quilts. I was just starting to learn quilting when my life became nomadic -- I completed one very bad square in the fall of 2002 I think.

I love doing the patchwork part of quilting but am terrible at the actual quilting/sending it out to be quilted for me part. I currently have two quilt tops sitting around going nowhere, and instead of finishing them I just started a new one.

yeah, i always have high hopes to do nice free quilting but then I always just end up stitch in the ditch or other straight line designs just to get it done. I need to make a 3x9 or 10 foot one for winter couch laying about and that one might actually see free quiting since it will be easier to maneuver in my small machine.

That sounds cool. I've never tried free quilting with my machine, and most of the quilts I've been making lately are too big to even do stitch in the ditch with a normal size machine, so I just keep putting off dealing with them.

I've made a queen size quilt before in my little Brother machine. It's possible . You just have to roll the side up tightly and start in the middle/switch sides. But I likely will never make one that big again. I just really wanted a specific quilt design I saw on Purlbee for my bed..

i was a bit obsessed with this picture on the site and learned how to quilt so i could make it. https://www.purlsoho.com/create/2008/11/24/mollys-sketchbook-a-wedding-quilt/

Oh,that's really cool! Maybe I'll try machine quilting this one I'm working on now, since it's just a nine-patch and it won't be too noticeable if I screw it up.
