I just overlap the piece 1" or so (no glue or tape, or stitching)and continue to stitch. I have never had a problem with it showing, but then, I usually dont heavily quilt stuff, since I only have a short arm.Debhttp://froggysquilts.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-12511826920407801282012-04-21T10:18:11.119-04:002012-04-21T10:18:11.119-04:00Love your barister blocks!

I took my Clover to Joanne's and asked them if they knew someone who wanted it free. I never really liked it. Someone who taught a class here recently said she has a small dry iron (no steam holes) that she travels with. I recently saw one in the Vermont Country Store. It was kind of inexpensive and I may buy that for home use. Seems that if steam comes out on the fabric it can stretch. Really? Didn't ever consider that.Marie-Louise in Virginia Beachhttp://www.barclaycottage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-77474547253159901542012-04-21T07:13:08.351-04:002012-04-21T07:13:08.351-04:00Glad you discovered you need to come up here on Sa...Glad you discovered you need to come up here on Saturday, I'm in your class on Sunday and would be very disappointed if you are not here! :-) I've been on your website forever and we are all so excited to finally meet you!

I laid another piece of batting in there, butted it up next to the short batting, and kept going. Worked just fine, but it did require chocolate before I got over the irritation, aggravation, and whatever long enough to calm down and figure it out. <br /><br />Good luck with your quilt and all of your classes!Denny1600https://www.blogger.com/profile/10755144981213388783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-44652906588202342012012-04-20T23:22:32.545-04:002012-04-20T23:22:32.545-04:00I would be in an absolute panic if I found I was a...I would be in an absolute panic if I found I was a day late and a batting short!

Called my family and they insisted that I 11:30pm was much better than 11am the next morning. So, I dumped my bags and repacked (some of it dirty) and hopped a flight to Louisville, KY. Let's just say I slept the whole flight, jet lag and time changes. Now, just a 2 hour flight with my kids is enough to put me out of commission.<br /><br />Take a deep breath and remember the important things always find a way of getting done. Even if we are bald by the finish line.TDJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817121569506932308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-89772710060702710382012-04-20T21:01:48.356-04:002012-04-20T21:01:48.356-04:00Easter EVERYTHING was 90% off at Target.......ah c...Easter EVERYTHING was 90% off at Target.......ah chocolate bliss.

In the summer I often wonder if I'm coming or going. I'm unpacking one show and repacking another. Even though I keep an accurate log book, its still easy enough at my age to have a C.R.S. day and forget where I'm headed tomorrow. I love reading about all your adventures.

I can barely keep up with reading your posts--which I LOVE to read--let alone piecing, quilting, and packing all in one day, and everything you do. I hope you've got hired help to do the housecleaning or other stuff, 'cause you have got your plate full. I second the suggestion for a break for a shower or some soothing tea or something before quilting any more today.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14807301075159043773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-48481222119774162822012-04-20T19:22:22.144-04:002012-04-20T19:22:22.144-04:00What a rush!
