I love getting those kind of boxes (but hate to see my credit card)! <BR/><BR/>If you snip the corners of your fabric, that works, but if you have YARDAGE, get some of those big safety pins and leave your fabric folded in several layers. Pin in the corners and a couple more in the center. Throw it in the wash and then the dryer, and when you take it out, it's not only already folded up for you but you probably won't have to press it either!Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476246201923183698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059143353858377815.post-58622682515258490922008-04-24T08:24:00.000-04:002008-04-24T08:24:00.000-04:00I have collected 30's for years and only used a fr...I have collected 30's for years and only used a fraction of them so far....must make something wonderful soon<BR/>tip about the raveling<BR/>cut a small triangle on each corner and it will not ravel so much....i doubted this but it worksCarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584554270289488041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059143353858377815.post-61879557943291369792008-04-24T07:42:00.000-04:002008-04-24T07:42:00.000-04:00Hi Donna,I found your blog a few weeks ago after l...Hi Donna,<BR/>I found your blog a few weeks ago after looking at Bonnie Hunter's website. Those fabrics are awesome.<BR/><BR/>I do have a tip for you on how to keep the fabrics from unraveling. If you do a zig-zag stitch with your machine along the raw edges of the fabric before you wash, it limits the amount of unraveling. You'll still get some unraveling, but it won't go past the stitches.<BR/><BR/>Happy Quilting! ~Sarah.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07402600753591681496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059143353858377815.post-19902799784359457672008-04-24T00:15:00.000-04:002008-04-24T00:15:00.000-04:00Beautiful fabrics and I love your CC quilt!

The roses are from Pat's garden(blonde on right with Julia and she is just so lovely also and a fabulous quilter - she does knitted edges around her quilts and Kaffe Fassset bought one of them - how's that for acquainting myself with the famous).<BR/>Anyhow - your blog is looking so interesting and who would believe that parcel and it's contents. Lucky girl! I collect 30's also and my stash consists mainly of reproduction fabrics.<BR/>'Bye for now - I'll call again - best wishes - Lurline.Lurlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598616574516695553noreply@blogger.com
