As I was pressing them today, many of the fat quarters had white thread along the selvedge that looked like they had been hand stitched and ripped out. Do you have any idea what this is? It's not a problem, I just pulled the loose threads out, just curious.<br /><br />KarenP3720@aol.co,Karen in Kentuckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745653729707537655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-81558313734204020292012-09-12T21:27:28.998-04:002012-09-12T21:27:28.998-04:00OK, I don't finish (or start) even 1/3 of the ...OK, I don't finish (or start) even 1/3 of the pieces you do - how do you do it? I am soooo impressed with all the piecing you do! Guess I should quit reading all these web sites and just go sew, eh? Lovely Sept. weather to sew by, now I'm getting ready to take some applique to my small quilt group. A lovely way to spend the evening.<br />Thanks for all your encouragement, and knowledge.

I figured out what was wrong YAY! Just need to find someone to replace the vertical gear. And one of the pieces to my hoop disappeared. Sigh.

Thanks for bringing us all these lovely pictures and letting us enjoy Bali through your eyes.<br /><br />I too am a huge Bones fan and just love watching Netfix with no commercials! There is an older series called The Guardian, that stars Simon Baker that I think is really good. It ended about 5 years before he started doing The Mentalist, which I also enjoy.Tami Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15006895931531165993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-29516650541731589962012-09-12T17:46:33.310-04:002012-09-12T17:46:33.310-04:00Village People! *LOL*Village People! *LOL*Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-35301913545438991162012-09-12T15:51:19.394-04:002012-09-12T15:51:19.394-04:00Hi Bonnie!

I too have days and evenings when hubby isn't home so I enjoy watching videos and stitching on my redwork, dresdans or de-boning more shirts. I'm taking my scraps along with me to a hotel I'm staying at this week so I can cut them into your suggested sizes. <br />May I suggest the movies that I watched: Listen to Your Heart, Shadows in the Sun and Bride Flight. I totally enjoyed all three of them.<br />Thanks for all you do.<br />Judy in Northern Albertahehjudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11159096510210999594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-73483791545507355212012-09-12T15:23:55.587-04:002012-09-12T15:23:55.587-04:00OH yeah! except i don't have my window open it...OH yeah! except i don't have my window open it is 80+ outside and I shut the house up this morning after the cool sept night temps came into the house.

Wish your projects weren't private so that we could sew "together" through the quilt cam. <br /><br />DD sewed more strips together last night for your 'Strip Twist' quilt pattern. I guess I could dance around while she's not here. She'd never know...

It's a British series, called "a Touch of Frost" and each episode I've watched so far has definitely held my interest. You might want to check it out.<br />I'm really learning some great piecing tips from you on quilt cam, and can now see why piecing takes me so long! Thanks for sharing so much of your knowledge.<br />Elaine in MA<br />Ehquilts@me.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-91119715833676700122012-09-12T13:40:05.292-04:002012-09-12T13:40:05.292-04:00Yes, I love putting all those pieces through the m...Yes, I love putting all those pieces through the machine, too. Very theraputic. I don't do the Netflix thing, instead, I listen to an audiobook. Have to be aware that is only good for chain piecing, not cutting or anything requiring very much attention. I've cut on the wrong mark or sewn some extremely odd bear paws by not paying enough attention.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462858715264217775noreply@blogger.com
