Finished 2 quilts today!
I had started on 2 different bright flannel frayed edge-quilts, and I
finished and snipped both of them today. So far that's 5 frayed edge quilts and about 75 jars of Salsa ready for the bazaar. We'll be making one last batch of it this weekend. Now on to making the stockings. I wanted to get the quilts finished first. I still have one non-frayed edge quilt that I need to buy a backing for and somehow easily quilt and bind it. The stockings should be easy to do, I already have several cut out and ready to sew. Also have some other stuff I might throw together for ornaments. I hope to get pics made of the quilts and post next week on Webshots. I tried making some scrunchies for pony-tails too. I made all these tubes of fabric and bought the elastic, but when I tried to hand-sew the seam without getting the elastic caught in it, i was all thumbs and gave up for a while. Just hope I'm not coming down with something. I managed to get them finished even while feeling blah. Darn this Texas weather. It reeks havoc on my allergies. Babs |

HoooooBoy. You've gotten so much finished, I'm not sure a Happy Dance is
adequate. Maybe I should go gather up the gators and do a whole line-dance? Way to go, atta girl and stuff. Do you take the frayed edge quilts to a Laundromat for the first round? or how do you keep them from clogging up the washing machine lines? Polly "David & Barbara Schmidt" wrote in message ...

Oh, If you do, Polly, could you please get DH to take a picture? That
is something I surely would not want to miss. Thank you kindly! .. In article et, Polly Esther writes HoooooBoy. You've gotten so much finished, I'm not sure a Happy Dance is adequate. Maybe I should go gather up the gators and do a whole line-dance? Way to go, atta girl and stuff. Do you take the frayed edge quilts to a Laundromat for the first round? or how do you keep them from clogging up the washing machine lines? Polly -- Best Regards pat on the hill |

Dancing in the moonlight for ya, Babs! Looking forward to the pics, and
still contemplating a frayed-edge quilt. I'm thinking of denim and flannel. Karen, Queen of Squishies |

Congratulations Babs!! I found out this week to only quilt with cotton.
Darling Granddaughter likes silky things so used wedding fabric to quilt with on her dinosaur quilt and it stretches! What a mess. |

No, I shake off as much as I can and cut all loose threads, then I use
my washing machine and pray. I've made many of these and it hasn't hurt it yet. i dry it in our dryer, but I check the lint trap every 20 minutes or so.

Yesterday, the gators had a serious case of wandering. One, about 16 feet
long and weighing over 400 pounds, had to be lifted with a tow truck, was found window shopping on main street in our closest town. The other, just a little lady, was over at the antique shop sampling the 100 varieties of fish they have in their Victorian fountain. I tell them and tell them to stay in the Swamp - but listen? Naaaaah. Polly "Patti" wrote in message ... Oh, If you do, Polly, could you please get DH to take a picture? That is something I surely would not want to miss. Thank you kindly! .

Why they just wanted a lil change in the steady diet of chickens. Where
is that Chocolate Button Gal of ours--she needs to send you some chocolate buttons ...then the gators will stay home again.
