I love Tiffany’s quilt. It really does look like an illustration.
If you are still on your “de-caff” diet try Twinings decaffinated Lady Grey and Earl Grey teas. They are specialist teas but I can’t tell you how much they will cost in the U.S. Here is Scotland they are not particularly expensive adn worth it for those times when you need to spoil yourself.

I keep forgetting to comment on this podcast! I have a Janome 6500 and I use Coats and Clark all the time! I love the larger sized cones – especially if I can buy them on sale at Joann’s! I’ve used Robinson Anton and Mettler and Gutterman and Sulky and I keep going back to my C&C. The only difference is that my machine has the thread spools vertically and I believe yours is horizontal – that makes the difference! You should be fine using the cup/hanger plan – don’t listen to the repair guy!!!!

Loved the show, fantastic as usual! I have enjoyed your podcasts and learned a lot. If you go to carol doak’s website today you can link to a free Quilt Show episode where Carol demos how she does paper piecing, very cool. Nice job Tiffany! I just completed my first attempt at mitering borders and you were a big help Brye!

Thank you and welcome aboard, Arabella – BTW your name is beautiful.

I hope everyone is trying paper piecing. It is fun and different. I don’t think I would want to do every quilt that way; but I do enjoy the change.

Hey Tiffany, it’s okay that you’re using the books sugestions, but still remember that you picked out the fabric exactly and it looks great and works well! I took a lot of color suggestions for my first quilt, and its a good starting point sometimes. I really like the quilt – even if it is Michigan colors. Although my high school colors were blue and gold, so there is still some personal love for those colors.

Arabella, I hope you look at Brye’s (extensive) list for podcasts, there are really some great ones out there. Depending on what you’re looking for, there are a lot of different viewpoints and learning opportunties out there in podcast-land and a lot of different styles. Although there could always be more…

Brye can’t wait to see the united states quilt. I have wondered myself if there was a way to do the states individually on a quilt, but some of them would be hard to applique individual states next to each other.

Thanks ladies! Especially Brye for sharing, you are a blessing to this quilter! The pattern is called Split Star, and it’s one of 50 in Nancy’s book. While I enjoyed your compliments on my colors, I have to admit that they are the colors shown in the book for that pattern. I had so much fun piecing it, and thanks to your show about paper piecing, that I went to buy more foundation paper the other day. Sadly, they were sold out. Maybe all the other qulters in my area heard your podcast also, and bought them out ;o)

Hi! I’m a new listener, having just clicked on to the concept of podcasts… What a great idea! I am really enjoying your podcasts. They are great to listen to while I am doing little chores. Thanks so much for sharing.

PS I think that $2 is very reasonable, so I will go and donate my share now!

Yup, the colors in Tiffany’s quilt are the Michigan colors (maize and blue) – GO BLUE (that’s where my son Teddy goes).

By the way, LQS is Local Quilt Store.

Great podcast! I love to listen to you chat about all the stuff going on in your life!
