I made $2.10 an hour + piece work. We all got a pair of nippers like that and they cost $5.00, I still have mine, that was in like 1974 I think, when I was a Sophmore in High School :)Bjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647775293745526099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-69181230755545612092014-11-30T20:17:40.464-05:002014-11-30T20:17:40.464-05:00That first quilt is the swoon block! http://thimb...That first quilt is the swoon block! http://thimbleblossoms.bigcartel.com/product/swoon-pattern-142-pdf-pattern And we all thought it was "modern"!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02198380481975287285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-67233048211042614832014-11-30T20:05:25.474-05:002014-11-30T20:05:25.474-05:00Love solo brousing time too!

Recently showing up available to the home sewers, Gingher make a nice pair, but I can get them much cheaper through my factory suppliers. And for Elliot, yes that is actually how you use them, you put your middle finger through the ring and snip with them "upside down" That's how the blades are ground. Very useful and once you get used to them you will use them a lot! <br />That grandmas slower garden was pretty, so much work!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13878442329350749523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-38525652303673085922014-11-30T19:56:18.659-05:002014-11-30T19:56:18.659-05:00Bonnie what is the name of the block in the first ...Bonnie what is the name of the block in the first quilt.

Yeah, it sounds crazy but I needed to turn them upside down for them to snip correctly. Having never seen anyone ever use snips, it was a challenge. Usually I don't have any problems understanding how to use things, but those snips....Now, I have got the touch!Debra in Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311303593112706735noreply@blogger.com
