Good Morning, Quilters!
Today is Open Line Friday–everyone asks, everyone answers! No question is too small and we need everyone to chime in…we have lots of experience out there–you don’t need to be an “expert” just tell us YOUR experience…
I will start…
MY SEWING ROOM QUILTS
Several people asked about the quilts in my sewing room.
The orange and the green quilts were from a book by Valori Wells…Radiant New York Beauties
It is one of the few books from which I stitched multiple projects!
The Poppy Quilt was from a pattern by Carol Morrisey
I scoured the countryside for red batiks in different shades to create this quilt and I used a green background instead of the yellow background she recommended (my daughter said the red and yellow reminded her of McDonalds!)
THE SUPREME SLIDER
Someone asked if they could use a Silpat-the teflon cooking sheet in place of a Supreme Slider teflon sheet.
I use a Supreme Slider from LaPierre whenever I quilt to allow the quilt to slide easily over the machine bed. (See Seven Steps to FMQ) The teflon sheet provides a nice slippery surface. I don’t think a Silpat would work because it is slightly textured.
When your quilt is fairly small (like our quilt-a-long quilt) you may not need the Supreme Slider.
Another way to help your quilt glide is to iron your backing with a shot of spray starch.
TECHNICAL PROBLEMS–We need EVERYONE’s HELP
I have heard from several of you that photos are suddenly showing up very small on your iPads.
I have not changed how I format my photos, so I really don’t know what to say…
WORDPRESS QUESTION
I received this from a long time reader…
Hi Lori,
I have enjoyed you and your blog for quite some time now, and now have a weird problem, having to do with Word Press…I was trying to make a comment on your Inbox, and somehow they made me think I had to have a blog (?!?) to post on your website, or some dumb thing on my part. Anyway, now my name on the posts is G…. I don’t want to be G…. and I don’t know how to change it back to just my name. Can you help?
Can anyone answer this question?
