I had a little repair job to do on this lovely heirloom quilt - torn aida clothe and browning. The new owner is someone I went to school with - we haven't seen each other in 40 yrs. Small world! I tested the sashing (rich blue and red - never washed) and the floss to see if they were colorfast before deciding which medium to use. Neither the sashing or floss was safe with too much moisture. The back is a muslin and even if I could prevent color seeping on the front, it could seep into the back.
This product is a little fussy to use, but you don't need steam to set it like most bondables. It leaves a solid bond with no stiffness. Just follow directions - most important is to test on a sample first. I got this at Wal-Marts, but it is available in most fabric and craft stores, or on-line. I do recommend googles, gloves, and mask if you have allergies (makes me itch and sneeze) - it's a fine powder that can spread easily.
Borders? Yes, now with everything cleared off the board I am dedicating this weekend to borders. The President's Challenge quilt is together and borders ready. Well, the last border needs cutting but.....
I'm going to tackle this one first because it is my OMG for the month. Even the binding is cut. I found backing for this one as well so it will move to the quilting pile next.
They predict we will see the 80's next week (after this cold and snow), so I look forward to some outdoor time - best use the bad weather to tackle borders before I decide to ignore them.
Sewingly Yours,

Yes, you definitely need to work on the borders before it warms up because we all know how much you "love" doing borders. Good luck with the repair work.

The Bo Nash works well. I'm trying to finish a quilt today, my Monday and Tuesday are going to be very full with mowing yard and flowerbed duty. Wednesday it's supposed to rain, I'll visit the sewing room again then, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteAnother beauty!

ReplyDeleteHave a great week
You are so inspirational
ReplyDeleteI want to say thanks to Ancient Dr Zuma Spell Temple for everything so far. To everyone who doesn’t believe in spell, I was one of those ones at first. I wasn’t quite sure if I wanted to do this since I’ve tried others so-called spells casters and they did not work and was a waste of my time and money. However, when I read through the testimonials of other people about his good work i decided to contacted him and after I talked Dr Zuma who answered all my questions and was very nice about everything, I decided to give it a try. I figured it would be my last try to get my guy back. So my story is that I was at my office when the guy I am in love with told me that he wasn’t in love with me and never will be and that he didn’t want to speak or see me again, especially since he was talking to this other girl. When I talked to Dr Zuma, he let me know which spells would be most appropriate for me and I chose the ones that was to get him back to me and stay with me and want to marry me. As soon as he started on the spells, my guy came back into my life! It was a miracle to me and I’m so thankful for that. Things have been going well, and pretty much according to what Dr Zuma said would happen. He’s always there when you need him and that’s also after the spell is done. I’m still waiting for the spells to completely manifest, but with all that has happened so far I’m very happy because i was already given up on myself before contacting Dr Zuma, if you asked me or my friends if I would have anticipated how things were right now…no one would believe it!
