Example was this one that I didn't get the email notification until 8:07pm tonight yet you posted about 2pm. I'm surprised it was that quick as I normally don't see the emails until the next morning. Maybe one day I'll get lucky. I hope you had fun this afternoon.VickiThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611232516583515409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-22476663074399675592013-01-27T18:11:37.825-05:002013-01-27T18:11:37.825-05:00I'm so glad I found you and got to tune in to ...I'm so glad I found you and got to tune in to your Quilt-Cam today! I've been making pieced backs for awhile now and really love the look! It gives the quilt more character from the "wrong" side and sometimes I find people like that side better! I got that advent calendar straightened and progressed to the point where it's pinned in a sandwich ready to quilt. But for today, that's enough. Now it's time for food and nearly time for Downton Abbey! Looking forward to tuning in again soon!<br /><br />Liz in Kansas<br />Gypsy Dreamer QuiltsElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11485556367797796156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-12822341297580049512013-01-27T18:02:12.302-05:002013-01-27T18:02:12.302-05:00Sigh...had to miss the quiltcam after all...hubby ...Sigh...had to miss the quiltcam after all...hubby came home, walked by when you said something about digital subscriptions, he said something in agreement under his breath...think I've got stacks of mags to go through all over the house, YUP!

I sew it down with zigzag or straight stitch. It is much quicker than a traditional binding so I can finish more donation quilts. I often make pieced backings for these quilts to use up fabric that I don't like as much anymore, but I do like it to blend with the front.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18361467354718078980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-22498680749279917392013-01-27T16:08:19.939-05:002013-01-27T16:08:19.939-05:00I make quite a few charity quilts, and I nearly al...I make quite a few charity quilts, and I nearly always fold the backing over to the front for the binding.

I decided to put it in a corner and have only two sides bordered, top & left with that small block in the upper corner. It looks great and has special quilting in those borders.

Now have to go back and pull more project ideas and get them organized (and get rid of the rest of the magazine!) Can't believe how much space I have freed up with just this simple project. thank you for giving me the kick needed to do it-20 years worth of quilting magazines does hog a lot of space! :)Bev @ kwiltpharmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00815138849202826555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-77543864625774975552013-01-27T15:24:24.664-05:002013-01-27T15:24:24.664-05:00Oops, I must have misunderstood something you said...Oops, I must have misunderstood something you said earlier.

I just got my sewing room unpacked after moving cross-country, so this is my first Quilt-Cam in my new home. <br />I'm working on Easy Street and when I unpacked it, was so glad that I used one of your tips by safety-pinning sets together....what a head ache I avoided!!!

I don't like applying borders but do feel that they make a quilt feel finished. If a quilt is really busy I feel it needs a border to help calm things down.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12569868342564016173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-47609883671646437282013-01-27T15:12:44.909-05:002013-01-27T15:12:44.909-05:00STOP you're geese are going the wrong way!STOP you're geese are going the wrong way!AmyDehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612375838777458007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-804178761320640772013-01-27T15:11:27.947-05:002013-01-27T15:11:27.947-05:00STOP....Bonnie, you're about sew those geese b...STOP....Bonnie, you're about sew those geese beak to beak!!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516590166897750807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-9322730883371688252013-01-27T15:09:53.367-05:002013-01-27T15:09:53.367-05:00Hi Bonnie, I've been watching for an hour whil...Hi Bonnie, I've been watching for an hour whilst going through a box of bills/papers looking for a bank card I havent used for 2 years.

I was woken by a hungry feline and thought you usually do Quiltcam on your home sundays and here you are. It's a holiday here today I would be sewing with you, but said feline Max is now settled on my lap, so of course I can't move! It's a rule! I haven't made a large quilt without a border, but I think that is because either I was following a pattern or it wasn't big enough, I like a small inner border with a wider border on the outside. I love Quiltcam, and haven't been able to catch you in the last few weeks, thanks again, Eddieeddiebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03767322797506736426noreply@blogger.com
