So far cottons on one spot, satins in one spot, polyester in one spot etc. I think I need shelves because I can`t get rid of the bed. I inherited a lot of 4 1/2 in square polyester pieces so my first project is a lap quilt to donate to my local dialysis unit, they are always cold.Should I use muslin backing ? I don`t know.I made a table runner with the local home bureau but have to line things up so much more still. I am a rookie at 60 years old. It is not like following a dress pattern.

Ok, I lurk too. I learn a lot by reading what everyone posts. You guys all know so much I kinda feel like the village idiot. What I know I've learned from a few classes,TV and books. Which puts me ahead of our group of ladies at church. So I try to teach them. Really scary huh?
