This may have been a book, but I have visuals in my head, so it may be a movie. It's about a young girl who learns about life while sitting with her extended family while they quilt,

Should I wash my fabric before I cut it up to make a quilt?

I have a couple of quilting patterns that have measurements of 3/8", 7/8", 5/8" and 1/8". Where would you find these on a ruler? Or how would you change them to a decimal point on a ruler that's easier to measure like.25 or.50? Hope that makes sense?

I'm trying to add another switch to control the lights from both ends. I have a light switch by the door before we walk down stairs that turns it on and off. I want to put another switch at bottom of steps so we can turn it off from there to. I have all the right wires to do but my only problem is...

I hope that this is possible, since I don't have the option of pulling new wire to this location. I want to add a receptacle next to an existing 3-way switch that controls a fluorescent light in a kitchen. Coming into the junction box is a single 12/3 nm cable, with a black, a red, and a white wire...
