Another addition to make my day is my gal pal Laurie of the Wooden Spool! taking pieces from her favorite Modgirls collection Laurie used a rolled edge hem on several different pieces and just layered them on the table (these are not connected) so you can use them later in a project…!! Laurie I love this and plan to make one for my picnic table but it will be connected maybe with an embroidery stitch where the fabrics meet…

This is a new catagory that I’ve decided I needed for all you talented peeps…..thanks for sharing your work with us and inspiring everyone to use these fabrics in wonderful ways…flag me down ,show me, it really tickles me to see them working for you..The latest is an apron by Louise Pappas from Australia using the wonderful gingham as a compliment…I also love that sewers look to other fabric lines for input and not stay within the limits of one fabric line …no matchy matchy here it’s not what quilters do they are more interested (in my mind of course) in juxtaposition and what makes things pop and recede throughtout their work…for me that’s the intrigue..surprise me!! Thanks Louise it’s a pleasure to get to know you..Jennifer
