Re: [lace] lace for a wedding gift

Sr. Clair, I had the same problem a couple of years ago. I did an edging that I put in a nice picture frame (8x 10) that they later used for a picture of the couple in their wedding finery. They were in their mid 70's at the time. Mary In very cold Michigan In a message dated 1/24/2009

I don't know what possess them either. My male will actually lay on the edge of my pillow but leaves the pins and bobbins alone. My first cat pulled them out and threw them on the floor. Mary in SE Michigan where the ice finally melted to we can get the mailbox.

Hi Sharon, I don't know about using chalk. I would be hesitant. Before that or anything else get some Orvus from a quilt shop (it is a neutral soap like substance) and try spotting the stain with that. The Orvus is used to wash/clean antique and newer quilts as it doesn't damage

Hi Patty and all. Happy US Forth of July. I wonder if the Convulvus is what we call a Creaping Jenny or Bind Weed. It has white flowers and grows long distances along the ground and will strangle anything it winds around. Farmers hate it. Mary in SE Michigan where it is raining at the

Hi Catlady, Is there any other type of lace but that with cat hair attached/included? Watch you pins also as my two love to pull and throw the pins. They have ruined a couple of in progress pieces by pulling off the covers and removing the pins. Ask, ask, ask questions of the group -

I'm not really sure how many pillows I have. I think maybe 10 or 12. These are mine. DH has 3 or 4 or his own. I do have many of them on a nice rack with a cover. Bought the rack made the cover to keep the cat kids out of the pillows. Pillows are good sleeping places if mom lets them! :)

Quilt shops carry small sticky dots to put on your fingers. If you are lazy (:)) like me and don't always pre prick a pattern they save you fingers. Would work for pins as well. They can also be saved and used again. Mary In Michigan where it is windy and cold. - To unsubscribe send email
