No, no, offence taken, Dr Quilter -- I have been enjoying the discussion and everyone's viewpoint is valid along the way g. You folk are all so knowledgeable. I just hope I can do justice to the original quilter and complete nicely. Today I carefully washed it and is now drying flat between 2...

The Eleanor Burns sounds quite reasonable - the LQS has to pay airfare, hotel, meals, Eleanors fees, it's shop expenses such as electricity, staffing, additional staffing,etc. It's expensive to host someone that isn't local. Is Joe Cunningham local or not? If she's local, you need to look at...

Absolutely! I agree and have a similar experience. In all my trips to the US pre kids, I'd never bought back anything that really "reminded" me. This trip, I decided that I was going to bring back a bear from the Build A Bear Workshop at Disney. This is a great place, you choose the outside,...

I just got my Timtex in the mail today! I purchased it from fabric.com and paid $8.95 for 1 yd of 22". The great thing is fabric.com is now selling the "PHOENIX YARD" which is their answer to a Baker's Dozen. You get 39" per yard when you purchase a cut of something. SOOOOO I got a 22" X 39"...

but it do come in different thread-counts---the 200 is s'posed to work better for pictures than the 'regular' lower-count muslin -- Jean S True, it does. But the fibers themselves seem a bit rougher than the smoother threads in the cottons made for photo transfer. I see a difference in...
