I still owe my SP3 a post with pics of all my WONDERFUL things.. so many handmade stuff.. soo cool.. I just found out the salts where made by her friend. I am so impressed and amazed by the things people make!! We are such crafty women, we should all be proud!!

I also want to do a entry on my "Print Gocco" which is just the coolest little SilkScreening doohicky that ever was invented. I'm going to make silksScreened t-shirts for my husband for when we go to austrlia so he can "brand" himself.. er.. "market" himself.. haha..

Last night I braved the wonderful world of BINDINGS on quilts. I had a huge problem the night before that put me in an awful mood. i sewed together about 5 strips of biased binding, then to make it easier I started sewing another set together. When it came time to put the two long strips together I couldn't make it work so they both faced the right way. Basically you have a side with the seams, and a smooth side, and it was like a puzzle and the biased 45 degree angles would only go together in a way that would have half of it facing the wrong way.

My GENIOUS husband suggested that because it was like a triangle and each end of the strip of cloth was facing an opposite direction, I should sew one more peice on one of the larger peices, hence flipping the angle of the end.. well if your still with me here.. lol he was RIGHT! I added one more strip to one of the longer ones and just like a puzzle the two larger ones fit together!!

Soooooooooooo I spent all last night pressing the 6 foot long strip in half, then sewing it to the front side of the quilt. Tonight I will be blind stitching the back, and wowo I will have an FO!!!!!!!!! Won't you be SO impressed??!!

Now lesson #2 I learned is that the book I have stinks.. because it told me to do a 2" binding and everyone I met online said they always do a 2.5" because it is better to have a little more, then a little less. I am concerned about it, but I never blind stitched before so.. the corner worry me! The book also showed how to join the bindings incorrectly because it showed it for straight binding, not biased binding.

Okay so yeah.. I really need to take some pictures and post my awsume new stuff!! BAD PIXIE!!
