Discussions, A Question for the Quilter, Have Buttons?

Mum says I am not allowed on the furniture, I said OK.
The adorable table mat was spotted on Facebook Quilters Digest page. Too cute!

A recent discussion among quilter friends proved very interesting. I suppose the kick-off was centered around waning quilting passions. In my mind, I feel that quilting, like other activities, tends to strengthen and wane in cycles for me. Garment sewing does the same thing. One day I will be cutting and sewing PJ's and aprons like a mad-woman then won't be even considering a repeat performance for a year when everything is thread bare from washing and wearing!

I remember making pinwheels, hundreds of them a few years ago, haven't made even 10 since!

My number one disdain is cutting. That is why I use my Go cutter as much as possible. 

I have a friend who struggles basting, another webbing, and still more pressing. 

In my quilting group, The Ladies of the Cloth, we have had a member who really enjoys binding. Several ladies gladly hand their projects over to her. 

The discussion led to these conclusions suggested by members:

• Join a Quilt guild.
• Trade off among friends who quilt; cutters would cut, binders would bind.
• Find better ways to approach your dreaded task.

The Feathered Star....does anyone know where to find this pattern?
