    heres how I remove....first make your sewing stitch small...1.8 or less, then when time to remove - the paper is so perforated from those small stitches it practically falls out, but I use the point of a T-pin, corsage pin, ripper or stiletto- whichever is handiest- to gently run across those stitches (on backside) to break any paper that is still together....and just sit and remove...with trashcan at your feet!

    Awesome! I love the swag. I have seen sliding door board mounted valances before that were quilted. The affect was like stained glass. All of your quilts are interesting.

    Our guild had a project to get rid of everyone's scraps. So, we made the scraps for quilts then made blocks. Brought the blocks to guild meetings and sew days and made the quilts.
    The quilts were mad and given to charties in town and individuals needed help with bedding A total of 15 quilts were made, January -May 2016

    I like the pinwheels and the butterflies the best, and they are all wonderful, nice job.

    They look sew good! I've made a few of these using old cut up phone book pages, which work well too.
