Next week I will be traveling with my mother and we will be stopping at friends and relatives. So I felt the 'need' to make 'thank you' gifts

I found my clothesline at BiMart (regional general/hardware store). The line is a poly/cotton blend, 3/16" (size). I will have to check out Family Dollar :wink:

grammy Dwynn 09-18-2010 09:14 AM

Well, look at all the places I can visit;
Indiana, New Jersey, California, AUSTRALIA :), and where ever in hiding is at. I had better get sewing on all those 'Thank you' table toppers! I have lots of place to go. hehehehehe

tolepainter54 09-18-2010 09:35 AM

Nice gifts - I would love to make a basket

Lynnie25 10-08-2010 03:20 PM

Maybe I should think about visiting the USA right now, the Aussie dollar is better value :) My door is always open to fellow quilters.

Oh my gosh!! How on earth do you do all that in just a week? Seriously, do you sleep? lol! Just made my first quilt. Did it in 18 days but there were days I was lucky to eat! ;-) It took soooooo long! I'm really interested in how you did the fabric basket. Is there a pattern for that?

Ditter43 10-09-2010 08:57 AM

I would be happy to get any of them! You did a great job on everything! :thumbup: :D

Gramyx7 10-09-2010 09:10 AM

Very nice... and its always the best to get home made... means more I think...

Lilrain 10-09-2010 09:37 AM

I think I am right on your travel route, as I am in Vancouver, WASh. So stop by on your way to wherever and I will be a gracious hostess and be so thrilled with your gift to me!

Iluv2quilt 10-09-2010 09:40 AM

Wonderful gifts!! Those scrap catchers come in handy.
