Well, I want the answer to #5! I scoured the Internet and couldn't come up with any information on why black thread is different.

I've just about finished the State blocks for another board so will be making the mug rugs on Monday or Tuesday. I decided to make several in the same pattern but different colours, so when I get the name, I can hopefully find out her colours. The others will be used in various swaps or to make envelope bags -- my new passion.

I had a real problem with number 3. I was unclear as to what the heck this referred to? The hand batik coloring, the weaving process? Not a clue as to what the question is really. I am looking forward to reading the answer, it is driving me crazy!

Here is a mug rug I made for my mil.

Number 3 was easy..The black thread one was tough, and I kind of read between the lines to answer that one. Number 4 had a few answers that looked good...the starting letter narrowed it down.

That one was easy for me. Think about what folks in the depression era used to make dresses and/or quilts out of that needed to be taken apart in order to be used.

My hardest was #1 I use a Montgomery wards 385B that is at least 50 years old and only has a straight stitch. Never done any surging.
