Spring Cleaning: The animals would love to have your unwantedfabric by
Jill -Critter Comforts
It's that time again when we clean out out closets and sometimes even
our sewing rooms.
So, if you find yourself with a stack of fabric, blocks, ufos, thread or
batting that you'd like to go somewhere that it will get put to good
use, I have just the place.
As most of you know, I sew "blankies"...

Anybody need more fabric??? (TRINITY, NC) by
MicrontheCat
Hey y'all,
I haven't been around in awhile; lots going on here. My mother died
last Sunday and I am cleaning out her stuff - I almost feel like a
vulture sigh. There is a whole room of sewing stuff, fabric coming
out my ears. If you are anywhere near Trinity, NC (that's near High
Point) and...

OT post- Picking your brains re- nail polish by
Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.
I have several bottles of fingernail polish that I love, but the polish is
getting thicker with time. Can I dilute it with nail polish remover and
thin it down or will that make it disappear... as in 'removed'? VBG Or is
there another way to thin it down so I can keep using it? It's getting...

cloth napkins by
Irrational Number
As part of my move to more eco-conservation, my
next step is cloth napkins. I've made a couple
of double-sided patchwork napkins and learned
that a four-square produces four corners meeting
and that makes for lumps. My next napkins will
not have matching seams.
I want to use up my scraps, so...

Jane Kay
3 weeks ago my sister asked me to get a folding screen for her at the Big
Lots in Mentor Ohio cause it wouldn't fit in Sis's car. I went there on a
Saturday and got the screen, but also bought a generic full spectrum
florescent floor lamp for myself. Tuesday I went to the guild meeting, and I...
