    I have used this method several times, and love it. I have two long boards for big quilts, as well as shorter ones for small projects. Nice thing too, is that you can SIT to work on it!

    August is the time to divide irises in Georgia! Clip off the old leaves in a fan shape leaving about 6" from the bottom. Even if you have some you don't need to divide, cut the old leaves off.
