I have been having so much fun with them that all my friends that were saving for "me" are now saving for "themselves"....LOL! I think I've lost something here....

I'm so happy you all share your projects, I thought recently to join a sewing blog similar to this one, but let me tell you, you all spoil us with your wonderful creations and ideas that I don't think I can find a better blog which shares everything related to our addiction which is sewing whatever you think of.
Thanks Thanks Thanks for sharing and showing your projects

You are all so kind. I sure didn't meant to steal your thunder. Your items are really great and again, please tell me how you did that binding on the first item. Did you add the variegated metallic thread AFTER you sewed on the binding? It is so sharp!

The big plus in joining these forums, for me anyway, is all the wonderful ideas I get and help too when I need it. Most quilters love to share. Non-quilters don't always get what we do, so for most of us, it's a great pleasure to share with those that do "get it". Non-sewing people think our selvages are "weird"....HeeHee.
I use to get intimidated by what other's did. Then I decided that while mine might not be the greatest, I did it!!! Now I will share and hope someone else will have the courage to do it too. That's how we learn...
