LYS and Visa

OOOps ....This is a candid shot of me after using my Visa at my LYS !!!

Back to the old grind....

Back to work, I have a theory that vacation good feelings last only about 15 min tops after I return to work. My theory still stands true, I think 10 min this time. I did make it to the break room. I have had it burst in the parking garage once, that was the record, out of my car I hop, all relaxed, and a coworkers ambushes me and says "the entire computer system has been down for 5 days!!!" Need a little vacation flashback...... OK that's better.... Remember I have needles and I'm not afraid to use them.....

rag quilts, the quest for a pattern and making

My girlfriend and I are doing a Christmas Craft show, I was going to sell handmade scarves, (which I am now) but quickly decided that I needed something that was quicker to make. Thus, the quest for a item. I have quilted a lot in the past, but have not for years now. So after much dithering and searching I decided to try my hand at baby/toddler size rag quilts. I really had a hard time finding info on them. I just started myself, by using some descriptions of rag quilt that I had seen for sale on EBay etc... and after a few errors along the way decided on the way I was going to proceed. This is the best free info that I found on the Internet: http://www.craftsofchaddsford.com/makeragquilt.htm Beware, for you must have some muscle in your cutting hand, the snipping of the "rags" to get the cute look of the quilt, is a marathon of hand cramping!! I now have 20 quilts done, mine measure approx. 40X40inches. One of the big problems, is that I am continually buying more flannel,
