$30. purchase I got free shipping so I ordered a new mat also on sale.
Best deal I have seen.

I suppose each manager is different, but at my TSWLTH, they will only use
the coupon on a sale item by ringing it up at the regular price & then
applying the coupon.

Sounds like your store wasn't willing to do that.

I went to Joanns today, 40% coupon in hand and because the $19.99 was a
special price already, they wouldn't honor the coupon on it :-(

Still, $2.85 per blade is an ok price. Not an OK one, just ok.

And did you see the earlier post about TSWLTF? They have a special Olfa

7
pk for $19.99 (regularly $29.99), but if you use a 40% off coupon, it's
$17.99.

Oh! Does anyone know where to get bulk blades? I found one place

that
sold 5 for $29 but with $6 shipping it didn't help much...


Any other recommendations?

(I usually wait till I have a STWLTH coupon...)

Especially on rotary cutter blades. I'd buy them in bulk the way I

needles if I could save money on them.

OK Ladies! Due to your encouragement, I'll put the quilt in a hoop this
weekend and let you know how it goes!

Thanks!

Same here, Anne. I always pin baste, hand quilt,
using a round, wood hoop.

Natalie,

Before I knew any better, I pin basted a quilt for hand quilting. Now that


I

know better, I'll probably do the same thing again ;-) Pin basting is


soooooo

much easier IMHO than thread basting. And the pins really didn't get in


the way

of the hoop all that much. No prob to move one or two.

Thanks!

I won't take the pins out if I do decide to re-baste, but I think I'll
try it since more than one person wrote in it wasn't a huge problem...

I safety pin baste my quilts first, then hand baste between the pin rows,
then hand quilt. I like how the material stays in place.

Have 2 seams left in my jacket
DD's Airplane quilt is cut out and ready for her 'inspection' before I start
sewing it (may be done by Christmas)
Need to cut a few more squares for the last of 4 I Spys (3 have already been
delivered--this last one will be twin sized)
And have the Poiple Swap Log Cabin ready for a bit more sewing (have 8
blocks finished)
Then, the last for when I'm bored, I'm working on N E X T--haven't touched
that in a few months now.
In the meantime, I am crocheting TP tissue covers in Christmas yarns--have 3
left to do.....my 'can't sleep' project : )
Butterfly (course I have to get more stamina so I can sew longer, but I AM
getting there ; )

Somehow, writing it all down makes it seem a lot more daunting. You may

not
want to do that anymore.
I love the idea of a Sister's Choice for your aunt. Its one of my favorite
blocks and the play on words is great!
Well... looks like you have enough to do for the next couple of weeks. ;-)

I'm working on a Rail fence WH for my mom, a Debbie Mumm calender panel

WH
for both my parents, I have a Halloween quilt-for-me waiting for backing

and
batting, a friendship star quilt waiting for borders, batting and

backing,
two RR (only one left to do though), a block swap, an ornament exchange,

AND
I'm handpiecing a Sister's Choice quilt for my aunt, who happens to be a

nun
(i.e sister in French). She's given all kinds of scraps and has more for

me
next time I'm in Quebec (like maybe next summer, hopefully).
Wow, that's a lot more than I thought. I'd better get cracking!

Check the newest mailer for TSWLTH, there is a special on a 7 pack of 45mm
rotary blades that includes a little rotary cutter lapel/hat pin. Cute little
thing.

Jalynne is right, Sharon, that was pretty awful. And yes! Lia, I would love
to know where and best price for rotary blades. Some klutz here surely does
use them up quickly. I don't know who but have noticed that my rulers don't
exactly have square corners anymore. A screw loose at the controls strikes
again, and again. Polly

The one that gets left in the car and used to cover up cold knees on
winter mornings and brought out for emergency picnics.

I get Rotary blades, needles, etc from Atlanta Thread and Supply.
http://www.atlantathread.com/ Their phone number is 1-800-847-1001.
Call them for a catalog. They ship fast, shipping rates go from $6.25
for a $10 order to $9.50 for orders over $150.

That number again is 1-800-837-1001



The first phone number with the 847 is correct. The second one with the
837 is a typo.
