Muslin rolls gift
 
1 Attachment(s)
I knew I better ask my GF is she wanted some big rolls of muslin. Her stash grew considerabley when thses arrived at her house. It will take her a while to use it all up....hehe. 188 yards on the bigger roll.

I have a lot of unusual contacts.

Oh, I would love to get those as a gift, too!

Nice surprise! You do have some unusual contacts. ;) Cool.

I bet she did the happy dance when she got them. Love your contacts. I wish I had them.

That’s a lot of muslin...but I’m curious as to what she uses it for? I have only used light weight muslin once in my quilting career and that was for string blocks.

pocoellie 05-29-2019 03:48 AM

I would love to have just one of those rolls. Wherever did you get those? I wanna be your friend too. LOL

I hand dye mine and use in quilts or recently I've begun using them as backgrounds for embroidery pieces.
I would be overjoyed to receive that! :)

You are handy to have around for sure! Lucky lady your GF!��

Sounds like she is a super committed quilter. When she has a project finished, please share some photos with us.:p

I use it for backing on vintage quilt tops. Goes with the time period, also it is difficult to “match” the color of the top if you are trying to use today’s fabric.

Dye it whatever color you want.

quiltingcandy 05-29-2019 09:53 AM

That was very generous of you!

greaterexp 05-29-2019 10:05 AM

You're a great friend with great contacts! My goodness!

She is't a quilter. She does clothing, mostly. Including period garb. 1860s -1880s lately. She sewed her corset and now she sews her underwear also. She made or modified all in these pics except the hats.

53 buttons in case you are wondering. I've got buttoning it up down to seven minutes. Skirt was satin sheets and pillow cases
