  Love the apron. I just bought a pattern to make holiday aprons. But mine wont have the lovely embroidery that yours has. Your sister is very lucky!! You should have some pages soon.
  Thanks for sharing

  Joyce the apron is cool, and should earn you Brownie points!!! The reason the scrapbook pages are there is because Sue90 and I were chatting one time about scrapbooking and we decided to show each other some pages we had done. So we both put them in our galleries.

  I am sure she will love the apron. You clever you!!

  Marilyn's scrapbooking in the gallery reminded me to show you what I had made over the weekend for my sister who teaches scrapbooking. I don't have the time or the inclination to do it, but love looking at the finished product from other people. Keep dropping hints I would love some pages with our parents on them. Still hinting I think I can bribe her now with the Dreaded Quilt and an apron.

  Where did I put the duster, its lost, I will
  will finish my sewing.
  This was a printed panel,
  I put muslin on the back, stitched around the kittens, and stuffed them, you can see they are sleeping with full tummies. You cannot really see from the photo, the
  effect of the traputo.
  I have made it for a friend's charity raffle, I hope it goes to a family, I have visions of a child with a fur alergy, able to touch, and trace the outline of the raised Kittens.

Re:Site worth your while for quilting technics

  Hi Marilyn, on Pam Bono's site she sells what is called an angler. I find that it is a very helpful tool when you do quick piecing with a rotary cutter,because there are a lot of very small pieces. It helps you when you have from 5 to 150 sets to do on a large quilt to be very accurate, very steady and very quick as well as getting all of your angles right the first time.
  
  The thing is you can buy the angler it is not expensive, but if money is tight, you can also make it by using an acetate (a transparent) and drawing the lines with a fine black marker just as they show it on their video. Then you align the middle line with your needle and use a tape to make it stick there.
  
  That tool works only when you start sewing little pieces together at the beginning. As soon as the quilt grows, you will find that it is very bothersome and you have to take it out.
  
  Good night
  Edith

  Hello Susanm,
  I have a new sew out for my embroidery machine it says
  Boring WOMEN live in Clean Houses just whip around quickly, your visitors would rather see your calendar than know you tidied up for them. I really am just being selfish, I would rather see your calendar finished, there is no better feeling than finishing a project, must seem like it has taken Months.
  

Thanks for the warm reception
