Old Threshers Reunion is a big event that draws people from all over the world. It is themed around the antique tractors and the 1800's. It covers over 3 miles and has a permanent old time village and they have 3 or 4 old trains they use and ground carts so people can go from one side of the park to another. It is big on crafts and demonstrations. They do reenactments of gun fights and rob the train and rob the bank etc. It is a lot of fun.
I never felt I could do it before but so many have urged me to that i and my friend Dorothy with help from my daughter are going to do it this year.
So I am now sewing some of the Ks onto canvas totes and will add a pocket on the back side with the original material.
I probably will make some into hotpads and I am still looking for a better idea to use them. Any suggestions??

I don't like to match the center so I choose to cut my sections short and cover the center with a yoyo that matches the fabric. I cut a piece out of the fabric that will either match or add to the design. Like finding an individual flower that will stand out in the middle.
I did one just the other day to try it again because it has been a long time since I did it that way and I still find it too bulky and I couldn't get the seams to match right.
It is so much easier on the brain to just use a yoyo.

Yes I fussy cut but it isn't any harder than drawing around the template and cutting out the pieces. I put a pin with a yellow head on it in my sections so I can find them when I go back to cut them out.

Hi Rhonda,I was wondering about the hotpads and glasses case,are they done by paper piecing? I would sure like to do something for money.We are retired I tired the part time job route,the tax lady said tax wise I would be better off not working. But sure makes a long time between checks.Then it only goes for bills,no much left for quilting or any thing..I like paper piecing and it looks so neat,but it jsut takes so long.

I cannot imagine what that fabric looks like now that you are done cutting it up into pieces. Or, maybe the greater thought might be: What is she going to do with the scraps? LOL
