Good idea GGal -- Thanks!!... hhmmmmm? wonder where I could get the towelling? and if not towelling, maybe gingham would be one to consider. Though that'd be another, where do I get it?
As for the towels ... I'm not from the churning era, but I did embroider several sets of those towels with days of the week and other sayings. Still have one embroidered set unused that I might re-make into a quilt some day. And also a set that I did with the liquid embroidery tubes. Anyone remember those? You've got me thinking! |

The link I included had the toweling. This site sells all kinds of fabric so I would expect that they have gingham. I've purchased from them before with satisfactory results. Actually I've seen it here in the states at Joanne's.
Thanks GGal ... though I'm not a great one for online ordering. I still have this hangup of liking to do the touchy-feely thing when I'm selecting fabric! There's a couple of stores here where I expect I can get it. PLus I live near Mennonite/Amish communities, so chances are I would get it in their home shops. |
Hey, that's a great idea. I love going to an Amish store. I don't order on line as a rule for the very same reason but once in awhile it has served me well.

there is nothing like a little help from my friends

MiraB ... and I have gained so many friends here! Bless you and all!
GGal ... My handquilted quilts have been done by an Amish lady. You should have Amish not far off from you, as well, I suspect? The nearest for me are only about 1/2 hour away. |
OH no!!! I forgot ta go & git these 2 threads! I guess I was so busy thinkin' about the trip ta Brady! I love the toweling site! Hmmmm, I'm thinkin' about makin' valances for the kitchen in Brady outa some o' 'em.
QE - I love the idea o' usein those embroidery pieces for your display, or the churn dash blocks.... lots 'o ideas! (Note ta self don't forget ta go & git this weeks threads!) |
:D OK, so who is going to include this in their PC quilt!! :D

Yep: Here lies a Cowboy Not Very Wise; He chose too many wives, his own size; except they were wiser than he....took all his money & things and left him the shotgun, whiskey and hound, you see.
He killed the hound and then shot himself after drinking all the whiskey... |
