If RAK in this case includes gifts to non quilters. My sewing friend and I took all our large pieces of fabric we have loved but never got around to sewing up and put it on my longarm. Using pieces 60 x 72 it was quilted using that heavy weight batting I just couldn't part with but never used and some stained but still good mattress pads and as I quilted I stitched two rows down the center and at the mid point of 36" after quilting we cut between these rows. Now we have 4 pieces which we serged and used the quick mitered border trick. After very little effort we now have bunches of quilted blankets for our local animal shelter. Was a wonderful feeling seeing the dogs snuggled up on them off the cement.
Note - the bonus to us - I have more room for fabric and my friend now has to move less when she moves in a couple months. Good all round!

I was just RAK'd by Louise, thank you Louise! I was surprised to get something because I knew I wasn't expecting anything. And of course, everything else will get used. Thanks again Louise, you're a doll!

WOW, sorry for the double post, dunno how that happened!

I have several of those cutters and love them. I love the dish towels, very pretty.

Would anyone in here like to have the following? Was doing some cleaning and I KNOW I won't use this fabric. If there's a lot of you who want it, I'll draw a name. 3 different fabrics. http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/IMG_0054.jpg


I'm in love with the middle one. Such pretty colors. I'd love to adopted them all.

Update: I just wanted to say thank you again to Kris, Diana, & Sheila. I used the gift card to Joann's and got a bunch of batting while it was 1/2. I will be using it in the memory quilts that I am making. My whole family thanks for this.
