THanks :) LOL
had a major snafu yesterday.... I buy my thread by the 1200 yard spool.... makes it so much easier. LOL Well, one of my kids (no one will own up to it, go figure) messed with the spool and had the ENTIRE THING strung out and tangled and ruined. And, of course I cant find my spare spool.... which I KNOW I have. I had to switch threads, and this crappy thread I am using now may just cause me to lose my mind. Its so STIFF. Its 100% cotton, but it feels like it has some kind of coating on it, its like sewing with wire or something!!! It keeps catching in my machine. :( May have to drive half an hour to JoAnns just to grab another spool of "the good stuff" !!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!! The quilt will be "fan-tab-u-lous"!!!!!! |
If you're anywhere near Lima, OH, Heavenly Stitches will cut the squares for you. they have a Accuquilt Studio you can rent time on too, and I believe that die does the snipping when it cuts the squares. Just a thought :)

arheath, that's a wonderful rag quilt. How far apart did you do your snips?

As I recall, the cutting, quilting, and piecing pales beside the work of snipping...but they are great quilts and worth the work!

Oh...I see, "Mr. Nobody", lives at your house, too. He must have left my home and moved on to yours after my kids were grown!!!!

At my house it was always Not I, so one day I told the kids I was going out to eat. They all chimed in could they go, I told them no, that Not I needed a break and a little more of my time since he was always getting into things.You should have seen their faces. Loved it;

Great thread here! I've learned so much... cut out all the square over a year ago & put them in a box somewhere. This makes me want to find them & put the quilt together. I love the Santa quilt - front & back - how cute!
Stacy - can't wait to see your rag quilt - the fabrics are pretty. No matter how long it takes you, it will be faster than mine, which is going to be years in the making at this rate ;) |
I have made more flannel rag quilts than I would care to count and I do have one comment. Using the fiskars rag quilt snips makes all the difference in the world. Heavy duty, easier on the hands and do not cut into the seam. (something I've done, I'm afraid). Also the fiskars cutting implements come with a lifetime guarantee. If the spring breaks they will send more to you to put on the tool.
