I do wonder if that would still even be possible now. My sewing teacher (whose son had the accident and is now disabled) - well they wanted to put him in a home in Belgium????

I made all of my children these quilt/blankets with their names on them and now all of the grandchildren except for Maggie and Levon.

So weird. But your quilts are remarkable. Have you ever heard of the National Quilt Museum here in the U.S.?

Weeks later, we would receive a woven carpet complete with fringed edges. We used to spend ages rediscovering our clothes and my dad's shirts in it. The carpet was usually put under the kitchen table until it fell apart by which time another lot of fabric strips was ready to go out.Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333912009540131399.post-41586447712147547822022-11-09T14:01:33.617-08:002022-11-09T14:01:33.617-08:00Yes, it's a sprayed ceiling.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

Two room had the sprayed ceiling and I had to scrape it off before I could paint. It's work.<br /><br />I like the color choices and the third quilt would have kept me busy, too.

The fabrics you've chosen are just cuter than bugs. To answer your question about how good the Thermochills are on ice, I don't know. We always hike with poles which help with the not falling. We also stay on the snow on the trail. Ice is something to be feared, especially in parking lots.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475433199308666648noreply@blogger.com
