A quilting forum pal recommended FlyLady - a great Internet site with great advice and motivation. It's hard to change old habits, yes, it is, but I have since gone through my closet and pulled 4 large boxes of clothes, shoes and jackets out, out, out! When spring hits, I'm gonna go through it again and hopefully, be able to purge some more. You can do almost anything for 15 minutes!! Check it out at www.flylady.com.Barbara Ann Beamer Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11025333309584416412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-12620881964017092552009-09-18T11:30:53.025-04:002009-09-18T11:30:53.025-04:00After you have washed your quilt and the bleed out...After you have washed your quilt and the bleed out still hasn't come out, hand sew a piece of the dye catcher sheet directly on top of the area where the dye bled, wash and then check to see if all the dye has been removed. If not, repeat the process until the bleed out is gone. Be sure to let your quilt air dry so that you don't set the bleed out. I have done this a few times now and it worked wonderfully. I also prewash my fabrics and still some of them do bleed.Rose Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222914515169308269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-22743136172471088522009-09-18T11:13:19.538-04:002009-09-18T11:13:19.538-04:00Baptist fans are going to be my next hand quilting...Baptist fans are going to be my next hand quilting pattern, once I finish the quilt I am currently working on. Good for you for doing it in the morning while you are still fresh.

You can get it at any drug store that sells eye care products like contact lens solution. It's great and was recommended to me by my opthamologist. However you do have to give yourself about 5 minutes after using the drops before trying to really focus on handwork as the drops take longer to absorb than other eye drops.Britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579104865203379324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-35855250804209335042009-09-16T15:36:26.002-04:002009-09-16T15:36:26.002-04:00Hey Bonnie, a friend told me just the other day th...Hey Bonnie, a friend told me just the other day that if I really wanted to purge my clothes this is a system that works for her!!!<br />Put the clothes your not sure about on a hanger and turn the hanger so it's backwards to the rod... if in say 6 months to a year you haven't turned the hanger around... apparently you haven't worn it... so it's time to clear it out! Kind of like when you pack stuff into boxes, tape shut, and date the boxes... if after 1 year it hasn't been opened... clear it out and don't open it first! Otherwise you will draw yourself back in again.... Good luck with the clear out!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744073613012413496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-18765524080958026042009-09-16T08:23:48.885-04:002009-09-16T08:23:48.885-04:00for chocolate stains use milk rather than waterfor chocolate stains use milk rather than waterNeedle, Thimble and Thread https://www.blogger.com/profile/02998233696141477714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-45755303081957368602009-09-16T07:44:23.790-04:002009-09-16T07:44:23.790-04:00Bonnie,

I made it all by hand except for the sashes (It's about 40"sq) I have it in a good ole fashion 4 plole stick frame I made myself. It's propped up on tall books on my dining room table. I found that if I quilt an hour, preferably in the morning, I am good to go for the rest of the day! I LOVE hand quilting!

I use a brand called Systane, ( I am in Canada)They really do help that itchy scratchy dry eye.<br /><br />I hope you don't mind my unsolicited medical advice. I love your patterns and your blog.

And yes, you should give yourself some quilting time after a good cleaning job. I would like to know how you figure your fan designs on your quilts. Would you be able to give us a tutorial? I don't remember seeing this quilt but it looks very nice. What is your dog's name, he looks so lovable and you look wonderful.

I've been aiming to do the same thing since having a breast reduction earlier this year. <br /><br />As a kid my closet was so small that ever fall mom and I would pack everything up into a box and take to the basement to store and bring up the next season and go thru it all... every year. But now that I'm a grown up I don't remember the last time I did that? Years gone by and I have too much hanging in the closet that I don't like or wear... I'm surprised the closet rod hasn't' collapsed yet!<br /><br />Love from Texas! ~bonniebingo~bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591187786013490106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-8377668859236954662009-09-15T11:22:46.695-04:002009-09-15T11:22:46.695-04:00I *so* understand what you mean about being too ti...I *so* understand what you mean about being too tired in the evenings to work on your hand quilting. I committed an hour in the mornings to working on anything; just so I'd be in my quilt room making progress! In the evenings I was soooo tired from working all day, coming come and getting dinner, etc... I couldn't get motivated! Now I have to worry about being late for work, I get so absorbed in my morning quilting exercises!
