Nancy, If you come back here I will answer your question. You have to use fusable interfacing. I got the light to medium weight and it worked great.

Here it is----all finished!!! You can't see him but my hubby is holding the quilt up and it is that big. I will be putting it in a box tomorrow to send to Wa. I sure hope my son likes it. This was a lot of work!!!

This is my Poinsettia from last Christmas. That is really being frugal, don't you think?

I had to one upyou Melissa. This is my Christmas present for this year. This red set of pots and pans was on sale so Grady told me to go get them. Now just about everything in my kitchen is red. Aren't they lovely??

Here is the hardest part of making this quilt. You have to work on your knees as you tie it and my knees are old. This will take a few days to complete. I told my hubby to just take the picture --without my face. LOL It is also 96 degrees outside and about 78 in here so it is very warm. It is a labor of love !!!

Cotton Flower

Last fall I had my hubby stop on the freeway and run out in a cotton field to get me a cotton bole so I could send it to my grandkids in Wa. They don't grow cotton up there. (Too wet!) Anyway I never got it mailed and this spring I decided to plant some of the seeds out of it They all grew and now I have a cotton bush or whatever you call it. This is one of the flowers and they can be any color. Now I have to hire cotton pickers and maybe I can get enough to make a dishcloth LOL. You can see a small bole down on the right.

Putting the quilt together was a lot of fun. I spent one whole day ripping out and resewing. If you have ever ripped out serger stitches you know how difficult it was. You know the old saying (measure twice and cut once) well I learned the hard way. The fabric in between the squares is Wa. State Uni. fabric and is soooo perfect because that is where my son went to school. This took a lot of math ( for those of you that always said I'll never use this again.) The center square is a little bigger so it was hard to line up the rest. Oh well, next time I will know better. I was using 12 in squares and all should have been multiples of 6.

Beginnings of a T-shirt Quilt

This is a t-shirt quilt I am making for my oldest son. I first laid the shirts out on the floor and them I tagged them and cut the logo off the front. This actually put a blister on my thumb. Not as easy as I thought it would be but it's a work of the heart.

Hearts and shamrock socks

I love these socks but need to shrink them a little. Any suggestions?
