Thanks Snowmom, that pattern is awesome. I'll have to give it a try.

[Snowmom]

Glad I could help. Did you notice, from what I saw, I think there is a new pattern each month or so.

If your having trouble with a quilt, lots of times you can find a sewing/quilt guild in your area. Ask at your local quilt shops,too.The ladies there are usually wealth of info!

Had you thought about adding photo transfers? I just did a memory quilt for my father and found that it's remarkably easy...If you have an ink jet printer and know how to print pictures, you can do it! Try using a product called "printed Treasures" (availible on line or at quilt shops...maybe even at Walmart!). It's cloth already prepped for use in your printer.

Does anyone have a link to directions to make a quilt frame? The link in the very first post on this thread is invalid. Thanks so much!

[ol'momma]

WoW..Great question! I'll be watching to see if you get any answers cause I'd like to know too!

[Snowmom]

Sorry about the old link.

Here is a link I just found.

http://www.texasbob.com/q_frame.html

It looks to be a good link and the frame is about the right size.

I have an old set of frames that were once one of my sister's MIL so need to get them back to the kids. Then, I need to get a set made for myself.

[Snowmom]

Just found another place and some other interesting sites.

Here is a place to buy them.

Here are some just for showing your quilts.

http://www.hinterberg.com/

Hope one of these will help you both and anyone else who is interested.

When I searched I kept finding references to frames made from PVC Pipe, but couldn't find any directions for one. It's an interesting idea....

I promised that I would post a picture of my DD's newest quilt when I got the binding on it... Well, I found this one, taken when it was still just a top, and I thought I would go ahead and post it instead.
DD fell in love with the metalic star print at a quilt show ages ago (3years!!??) and begged me to buy it for her. I had a dreadful time working it into this pattern (it is very directional/stripey) but she's pleased witht he results.
I didn't start on the quilt until last spring, and the top has been lurking in my UFO (Un-finished Objects)pile for more then a year. Now It is finally quilted and I'm more then half done with the binding. It's backed with hot pink flannel, so i know she'll stay toasy warm this winter!

Oh thats so pretty ol' momma! Great job! I need to learn how to quilt like that lol.

[arby]

Those star patterns, the sewing together would boggle my head up good, but I love em! Wonderful choice!

[ol'momma]

Actually, Arby, that pattern is pretty easy to piece. It's sewn together in strips, and then strips are cut, pieced together, so each piont of this star is actually only 3 pieces!!
If this link works, you might be able to get an idea of how it's done.

And this link shows you how to block them so they fit together just right:

The only real challenge is to assembling the star. I strongly advise being very careful to start and stop 1/4" from the edge when you put the points together or you'll end up with a hump in the middle that you cannot press out, and the 'Y' seams will be a nightmare to do when you put on the corner pieces.

Thanks for the tips!

In honor of the season - I found this blog, the woman made a 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' quilt. Thought you might like to see it.
