I am still in Lubbock waiting for my uncle's funeral. It is a county burial and they won't let us bury him until Thursday, Nine days after his death!!! Isn't that crazy, so my one week trip has turned into a two week trip. I wish I had brought some quilting with me. My mom let me borrow her sewing machine and I offered to make curtains for my niece and curtain's for my brother-in-law's camper, got all the material cut, and would you believe I cannot get her sewing machine to work? Give me an old people powered sewing machine any day - they are so easy to fix! I don't suppose someone lives in Lubbock who would let me borrow a machine for two days? LOL
I had this sitting in my drafts and thought this would be a perfect time to share it!

The hardest thing for me to figure out is the math on quilt sizes, I found this great chart that you can print off and share!
http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/images/PDFs/QuiltSizeCharts.pdf
It tells you how long to make your quilt depending on how much of an overhang you want!
Have a great day ya'll!

I just found out I have PIGS! Well, one grocery sack but it's that really big fabric kind. All there and unquilted! Thank you for the terms and I hope you find a machine to use.
ReplyDeleteI'm the owner of a HC and a WOF with a FOB which has led to a WISP.
ReplyDeleteI'ts great to finally know what all those abbreviations mean on quilting blogs.
Lovely blog.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Missy. Sending prayers your way.
