Show ‘N Tell….
 |
I have always wanted to make a Grandmothers Flower Garden but I had no idea what I was in for. I cut 2 1/2″ hexagons, sewed them all by hand, then hand quilted my quilt. The only part I used the machine on was the binding. This was a job for sure. I love how it come out and it fits my queen size bed perfectly. But never again lol. I hope you like it….Donna Submit your creations to us. We’ll put them on our Show ‘N Tell page and in the newsletter! Be sure to send a picture as well as the story behind your quilt, wallhanging, tablerunner, or…. send them to terrye@kayewood.com?subject=”show-n-tell” |
Button Button! Which Side The Button?
To help you remember which side to put the buttonholes, recite this old (and politacally incorrect) phrase:
“Women are always right and men are left over!” lol
Have a great week, everyone! |
