Well I had a giggle and thought why should you need instructions for
doing what come naturally. I know I have got a naughty mind. LOL Shirley In message , Mel Rimmer writes "Violet "F'loonslayer" Volfie" wrote in message ... "SunnyQuilt" wrote in message ... When I read your Subject line I thought you meant you wanted to learn how to do The Shag, a dance done to beach music in the Carolinas! SunnyQuilt That's okay, when I saw it I thought our UK cousins where going to have a real hoot over it. That's all right. I just assumed it was something to do with S.E.X.

I've most commonly seen them as rag or ragg quilts. I didn't see anything wrong with your subject line, though it gave me a giggle. Same here!

I used 1" seams, clipped as close together as my poor hands could manage
(1/2"-5/8" or so), washed it twice and gave it away to DS's GF. She is a lovely polite young lady who would never complain if her new quilt wouldn't stop shedding. Must ask next time I see her. note to Giselle -- my post about Brit English did have the tongue sticking out smiley face, indicating not to take me too seriously. Got a flashback on Austin Powers, thats all ;-) -- -- Anne in CA "It's not having what you want; it's wanting what you've got." -- Sheryl Crow http://home.covad.net/~arudolph/annes.htm Violet "F'loonslayer" Volfie wrote: "Polly Esther" wrote in message ink.net... This may be just as impossible as herding cats - but could we get back to the question? She asked how long it took before the flannel quit shedding. I've seen some very cuddly, soft, lovely raggedy flannel quilts. It just was not meant to be with mine. It has been just a few weeks since I lost the flannel battle and no one here stepped forward with surefire successful guidance. Polly How long were the ends that you clipped before you fuzzed them up? (I'm going to try and never say that s-word again even though that's what *I* call it. Gads.) I was wondering if the fringes were too long if it took longer for them to shred off? Maybe they should only be 1/2" long or so? Mine are 1".

Howdy!
Shag rugs: not here, thanks. Making a shag rug? god, whatever for?!!? G I like my washing machine too much to try to shag a rug at home. I can do the shag, and the pony, the locomotion, mash potato, the watusi, the swim, and of course, the twist. I don't chicken dance, tho', I have a little self-respect. G For those who are easily or somewhat offended by the subject line, any subject line, let them move the mouse; the subject line should indicate the subject being discussed (check out the way off-topic posts under the subject line for on-line quilt shops), so that the viewer/reader can choose to Read this or Don't Read this. Fewer rules, more time for quilting. Ragmop/Sandy--liberal w/ liberal use of words ;-D "georg" wrote in message news Violet "F'loonslayer" Volfie wrote: "Anne" wrote in message ... Gentle reminder: this is an international group and some folks speak Brit English :-P Read on -- I remembered when I saw my own subject line. Giselle She is stating in a very subtle way, I think, that since the majority of the group is in the over 40 crowd, the general preference of the group is try not to put anything out there that you won't mind yer mum reading. My mum wouldn't understand the reference and would have to ask my da. Same woman who did not understand why my birthday was so funny. (1/4/69) A certain amout of "in yer faceness" is welcome and fresh, and I personally love your enthusiasm. However, you are on the edge of offending some of those with more delicate sensibilities, so be wary. You may offend without meaning to. I think that if you do, anyone who finds offense can always make a filter. I have seen and personally said worse here though, and I've braved flame groups myself. Feel free to email me for more clarification, or if you would like to take me to task for this post. -georg |

I made myself one and all my kids loved it. I ended up making them all one.
(a total of 4) I didn't have a problem with the washer or dryer. If your worried about it, take it to a laundry mat. I love the quilts, they are nice to cuddle up in on a cold night. "Violet "F'loonslayer" Volfie" wrote in message ... Okay, I finally finished one of my UFOs and I'm sitting here cutting the fringe into a flannel shag quilt. Do I remember these nexts steps right? 1.) Wash it 2.) Dry it a little, shake it out outside, clean the lint trap repeat every 15 minutes until shagged as desired. ? Giselle (that's IT? ) |

Well, you haven't' mentioned hair styles! Ever have the
Shag haircut? I always connect it with Florence Henderson and the Brady Bunch. When I was in UK I never did anything I couldn't tell Mom, but I guess I wasn't looking hard enough. PAT in VA/USA Polly Esther wrote: Trying to stay on topic - but it seems there are at least three going now. I have never danced to Beach music in the Carolinas, have never done anything I couldn't tell my mother about in the UK and don't remember how wide the seam allowance was in my flannel quilt. There. Did I cover all the bases? Polly |

wrote: "georg" wrote in message About 30 years ago shag pile carpets (long pile - impossible to keep clean) were very fashionable. However, you weren't supposed to know the other meaning, so people just said it quickly and hoped their teenagers wouldn't giggle. There are so many words from both sides of the Atlantic which are normal for one side and 'rude' for the other, that I think we just have to be adult about it - there are probably ones we don't even know and we could be offending at every stroke of the keyboard. Had friends who emigrated to Califoria and to begin with they were always unknowlingly embarrassing people, and it got very awkward when they had to explain to their children that there were everyday names for objects that they must not use anymore. Sally Of course you are interpreting the word by the UK meaning. I meant it as I would use it in the US. It wasn't until I saw the subject line that I realized that the meaning to me wouldn't be the same meaning in the UK or elsewhere. Since it is an international group of adults, I still figured that most would think it is something that got jumbled in translation, not a rude subject line. BTW, what DO you call these quilts in the UK? We call them shag here. I'll change the subject line so this discussion can die but, really, I meant no offense. That's REALLY what we call it. Giselle |
