You are going to get differing opinions on starch. Some people love it. I like fabric that feels like fabric, not cardboard. We are all different. In every swap I get some that are starched enough to stand up by themselves! :D Just do what you prefer. |
In every swap I get some that are starched enough to stand up by themselves! :D Pretty much the only time I use starch is when the fabric is pre-washed, and then I only starch it lightly to give it some "body" for easier cutting. The vast majority of my stash is unwashed, so I just mist the fabric lightly with water when I'm ironing it to help knock out any wrinkles. :) |
[QUOTE=pinkflowers, Polka dots? That would be fun!![/QUOTE]
Oh I like polka dots! Also batiks, spring flowers and we did purple, how about lavender. You will see will see why I said purple in a second. OK, here is my story! I have two plastic containers that I store my 5" charms in. These were saved from swaps from the past 5 or 6 years. In one I put my purple charms. My dh birthday is coming up and he loves purple so I was going to make him a quilt for his birthday. Said container is missing! We have been searching for it all week. I feel sick and so stressed about it. My question is this. Would any one care to swap purple charms with me? Just name what you want for the trade and I will try to send what you need. I can send FQ's, F8' Yardage, other 5" charms. Red, I hope it is alright to request this. If not then please delete it. I certainly do not want to step on any ones toes! |
I'm so sorry about that, sunrise. I have very little purple, myself, as I don't use it much. Hope your container shows up!
|
Sunrise, I have purple charms! How many do you need? I missed a few colors in past swaps, so I would be happy to swap any color that you have extra of.
Fearless Leader Red -- can we do this? |

Just letting you know that my neutral swap was mailed yesterday.
I have had such good offers for my purple charms. I think I will have enough purple to go ahead and start a purple quilt for my DH now. Thank you to all that responded! I will send a picture when it is completed. |

I am looking forward to rainbow. Multicolored fabrics! It will be my favorite.

I have my squares just about ready to mail. I am trying to get all done by bedtime, but I may not. In which case, mailing will be on Wednesday, instead of tomorrow.
I read through the discussions of the edgy vs. non-edgy fabrics. Some seem to favor non, or more traditional neutrals, and some don't, so I decided to make two different groupings of baggies. Some are only WOW and COC, and some are not. I have used a lot of WOW/COC over the years. I especially like them with 30's repros. I recently started following Bonnie Hunter, and my idea of a neutral went from bland to interesting! I love the edgy choices for neutrals. The rule I follow is: The background color is what determines if a fabric is neutral or not. Looking through my fabric bins has been fun because I found a bunch of these "new" neutrals hiding out in the bins that were in that particular color bin. I will post went I am able to get them mailed. |
