*drumming my fingers*

Celtic knotwork quilt:

Everything that I could possibly cut, is cut. And I do mean everything.
Everything that I could possibly sew, is sewn. This includes all the
garden maze sashing and sash squares.
Everything that I could possibly mark, is marked.

I can't do anything else until I get those blankety-blank bias press
bars, which are stubbornly refusing to arrive at the quilt shop. I mean
really, doesn't the distributor know how important that shop is? She
should get all her orders first!

Now what to do, what to do.... I thought this would keep me busy long
enough that I didn't have any other projects in the queue.

*sigh*

Which, my friend, is a glorious reason for UFOs. When I am feeling mindless,
I go stipple one waiting for me. If I am worse than totally mindless, I
unfuzz the SMs, load bobbins - that sort of thing. Now, there's an idea. How
many bobbins will your Celtic need and have you run them? Polly

Why don't you zip over to your local JoAnn's (assuming you have one g)
and buy a little 1/4" bias tape maker? That works really well for making
bias strips for celtic knotwork....

Gezz, if you were my neighbor I'd lend you mine! I have the whole set, the
metal kind. I used to use them with the zipper foot but found it a pain to
master. If I cut the bias strip a tad bigger, I can sew with my regular #37
foot. I use the bars to press.

Cuz those things hate me. Seriously. I've tried them. They refuse to
work for me.

JoAnn's *used* to sell bias press bars. I know they did, because that's
where I bought the ones I now can't find, lo those many years ago.

In that case, come on over and I'll make your bias tape for you! I love
my bias maker. G
