I'll just squeeze in here because Rose will enjoy what I worked on today. DY
(Darling Yorkie) needed a way to cycle with DH. DH bought a bicycle basket but of course it needed appropriate accoutrements for a special pup. I lined the basket with a lovely fabric of peach and green dragonflies and seriously padded the cushion for the royal hiney. There's a loop added to attach to Yogi's harness in case he has to be restrained from launching into bungee jumping. He loves it, he loves it! You just never saw such a happy cycler. Of course there is no traffic on our road except for the mail carrier and we know to stand down when she comes flying through. Something about the gators, we think. Polly |

I've been on a hunt for a large tote bag pattern too. That's the biggest
I've ever seen - it would be great if the pattern is available. Idaho is too far from California to come for a class Pauline "Donna in Idaho (remove invalid)" wrote in message ...

I'm totally "into" Hawaiian quilts at the moment. All little ones, of
course- I always start small. I've got one (22 x 22) that is part way quilted; one (22 x 22) that is appliqued and marked and waiting to be assembled for quilting, one (22 x 22) that is 3/4 finished being appliqued and two (22 x 22 and 40 x 40) that are cut and basted but haven't been started otherwise. I also have a 36 X 45 wall hanging for Christmas that is about 1/3 quilted. And with school having started last Tuesday, I have not touched a needle in a week! AACCKK!! Teresa "Diana Curtis" wrote in message ... Well? ;-) What sort of things does everyone have going at the moment in the quilt family? Dragging out PIGS or finishing up UFOs and WIPS or have new quilts started appearing? I'm still working on the queen size LC borders, getting ready to MQ the siggy quilt, plotting the next borders on DDs quilt, and playing with layouts for Mike's 'Things go better with Coke" quilt. Sometime in the middle of those I need to design and make two quilted Christmas stockings. Lets hear your list! Diana |

Good explanation georg! I don't know why you don't like loop
starts though. I really prefer those for counted cross stitch. Loop starts are terrific for sewing buttons and other applications too. I use them in quilting when I hand sew labels and bindings. PAT in VA/USA georg wrote: Diana Curtis wrote: What is a loop start? Diana, striving to become always less ignorant A loop start is when you take a long thread, double it, and thread the ends on the needle for about an inch or two. This leaves a loop dangling off the needle. Put needle through fabric and back without pulling tight. Put needle through the loop, then pull tight. You have just secured your thread without any knots. When you finish with the other end, just back stitch one, then bury it between the layers. This is a needlework trick to hide all knots. -georg |

I usually work on just one thing at a time but do have 2 in the works
now. One is a sofa quilt I made in a class. Got it all basted and put it in the hoop to quilt it and I couldn't believe what I saw! 3 patches sewn in in the wrong order. I could'nt believe it. How could I have overlooked it until now? Can't call it a "design decision" either. So have to resew that part of it. The other project is more interesting. DIL3 bought some embroidered friendship blocks, circa 1920-30, at an auction. 15 blocks are from DH's family, including his grandmother and most of the rest are people I knew or knew of. So I am going to put them together and quilt them for DIL for Christmas. Probably won't be done by Christmas as I handquilt and am slow but she knows that. A fun project Elda in Ks. |
