We want your tips! 1) Next time you get unwanted junk mail, save the envelopes, especially the bigger ones. When you sit down to do some hand work and watch TV, take the flap and tuck it inside so it leaves it somewhat open. Then tuck it partially in the cushion where you're sitting, to hold all the loose threads you will have as you sew. I love it when I embroidery or am putting on a binding. When it's full, just toss it! You planned on doing that anyway! 2) When I get in the mood to cut fabric, I try to plan 1 or 2 projects ahead of time, and cut them all out at the same time. I get the thread I'll need and the pieces, put them all in a project bag along with the instructions and I'm ready to take a project with me to work on, no matter where I go! No fuss, it's ready before I am, and I'm only cleaning the mess once! Monica, PA 3) I always use kid scissors, with the rounded tip for snipping. They are plenty sharp enough to cut the thread, but I don't cut through the fabric with a sharp tip. Gloria, FL 4) I'm in love with all homemade arts and crafts and absolutely adore, outdoor art shows where people have a chance to sell their items. One show, the May Fair Art Show in Norman, OK is always wonderful! I found a small hand-thrown pot with the most beautiful colors of blues and tans. I promptly bought it and another one similar in color, but then had to come up with a use for them, to justify the purchase! Easy! I placed felt on the bottoms of them to protect the wood and put the small, fist sized one on my coffee table to catch snips of threads when doing hand work. I put the larger one next to my sewing table to catch the large snips as I sew! I absolutely love them and they support another artist's habit and mine! Vanessa V.
Show & Tell
Peter is 52 yrs. old and works as a civilian contractor mechanic, working on large military equipment. Peter raised two children by himself for 11 years. During this time he bought a sewing machine for his daughter, and that was the beginning of his creating adventures! Watching Kaye Wood and others every Saturday morning, he learned quickly and started making quilts. 4 years ago Peter and I met and we continue to create together every spare moment that he is home. We attend our monthly quilting guild, Puyallup Valley Quilters, and I have been working for a year and half, putting together all of Peter's quilt tops. I hope to open my own business soon doing this and hope at that time, to keep Peter home, so we can create together full time! Sandy

Kaye Wood's Quilting Newsletter
Hey everyone! In case I haven't told you before, I just LOVE spring! It was a bit chilly, but I actually got to drink a cup of coffee out on my deck this weekend! Where I live, well some people might call it a farming area, others call it the country, I call it way the heck in the middle of no where! No matter which direction you head, if you want to buy groceries or get a take out burger, you're going to drive at least 25 minutes to get there. Anything past food, plan on driving a bit further! People fly down our road like it's a race track, dust kicks up all the time making it impossible to keep your car clean, let alone the inside of the house dusted, and when it snows, we're the last road in the county to get plowed out! All of this aside, as I sat out there with my coffee, the sun shining down, the distant hum of a tractor in a field, the birds singing and deer grazing in the meadow, it was just about as close to perfect as you could get! On mornings like that, you just know how good life can be and how lucky you are to be in it! Here is a poem I think you'll enjoy, so read on and have a great week!
