Hi
Welcome from Bucketty, NSW

Hello everyone,

>I have to admit to not having completed a quilt yet, so does this make me
>ineligible to join you, or may I please participate? I found you in the
>Newsgroups about a fortnight ago, and have been bowled over by the range of
>subjects covered :-). I was half-demented (understatement of the year) at
>the time, having purchased a rotary cutter, mats, batting, heaps of bits of
>fabric and magazines. At that time I had been practicing with the rotary
>cutter and managed to slice off the tassels from one side of my scarf,
>effortlessly. Since then I have also pressed my cutting mat (anyone with a
>good chemical-free method for removing the green plastic off the heel of my
>iron, will earn mega brownie points), made two quilted cushion covers and
>three 'blocks' which I haven't yet quilted, but intend to. Most of the
>queries I've had, have been answered by books I've borrowed from the local
>Library, but still haven't found a detailed explanation of how the 'quilting
>as you go' would work. I imagine the seams would become enormously thick,
>and the only book that made any reference to it, gave only the words to
>explain the acronym. Could any of you help by explaining this method >please?
>I've been reading your posts referring to heat waves, and have done a lot of
>sighing, with envy. Wellington, New Zealand is hellishly cold, wet and
>windy tonight, with more promised for tomorrow.
>Best wishes
>Lynn
