I've baked clay stuff on them, dried my wooden buttons I've dyed and painted, and now am using them for quilting. I got them just for my creativity and not my kitchen. Ha. When my mom passed away I was left with some boxes of her stuff and in one I found some lap trays she used to serve lunch on to her PEO ladies. I use those too. They are flat with a tiny edge. Great for organizing and stacking. Happy Belated Dog Day to Sadie.

I can chose a size that works for me and the sides are a little higher than cookie sheets. I, too, am curious how you carry your 'kitted' project. How do you keep the pieces flat and in Order when traveling?LindaBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510332283296503760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-67974972850882581912014-08-27T03:36:12.972-04:002014-08-27T03:36:12.972-04:00Looks like you're making great use of your fab...Looks like you're making great use of your fabric time.

Mine are now all full and I have more to cut. <br /><br />Tonight it was cutting triangles for HSTs with an easy angle type ruler in anticipation of starting on Wonderlust. I drafted the design of one block to start with to help me inderstand it. I'm sorry but I found the Quiltmaker instructions very confusing and disjointed. <br /><br />And Scraps and Shirttails II came today, so now I know its not your instructions, which are wonderfully clear.<br /><br />And Tumalo Trail is also coming together. But it will have to be named Tallahassee Trail for mine. :-)<br /><br />Yes, an extra treat for that good dog, Sadie. Tomorrow it's back to work again.Donna Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09663351458615534165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-17229846906992494222014-08-26T23:20:07.561-04:002014-08-26T23:20:07.561-04:00Just returned from taking my dog Hoover on his las...Just returned from taking my dog Hoover on his last walk for the night.

How do you travel with the kits after cookie sheet time? Happy Dog Day Bonnie, I appreciate your sewing and cutting, I have completed 'My Blue Heaven' great pattern to learn value, 'Easy Street', almost have 'Celtic Solstice' assembled (went with the KING size - there were times I didn't think I would ever get the blocks completed!) great pattern to lose the "I can't have these matching fabrics together in the same block- itis" and my first Bonnie quilt was a'Playing with Jacks' . Thank you Bonnie. P.S. You would absolutely love Mackinac Island now - so much color - thanks for sharing your trip there this spring!<br /><br />Kathy<br />kayjaytea55@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-32580371586121503592014-08-26T22:00:47.908-04:002014-08-26T22:00:47.908-04:00I just found out, too.

I use a cutting board to layer things in my casserole holder that I'm carrying to a potluck, but never thought of cookie sheets for block parts. I think I'll buy a brand new one! I'm envious of your time at the cabin, especially with a friend to sew with. I have a guild retreat coming up in October, and I can't wait!
