You can insert tissue paper or fabric between the layers as you roll, if you want. Then ship in a 6x6 inch box. If the quilt is easier to roll in one direction, do it that way.<br /><br />I ship quilts this way even if they're not particularly stiff, to avoid creases.kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-73013284959352442502018-03-06T14:28:20.325-05:002018-03-06T14:28:20.325-05:00I have a question that maybe you can answer.

It will be 30x40.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00546541635737985065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-46587831606194207802018-03-02T07:38:26.589-05:002018-03-02T07:38:26.589-05:00Sounds like Pyro Gallery has been a great venue fo...Sounds like Pyro Gallery has been a great venue for you. So glad you will have a solo show there. In the tapestry world lately we’ve been talking about the benefits of applying to all-media shows, not just all-tapestry or even all-fiber.

It has been interesting to see what you are working on. I am changing also, as the thought of entering another show just doesn't interest me anymore.Gail Baarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833256306047584176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-13431773407555638442018-03-01T01:21:49.309-05:002018-03-01T01:21:49.309-05:00Thanks for being so open, thanks for replyingThanks for being so open, thanks for replyingKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11448338094517634269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-30125905173222781832018-02-28T16:03:33.597-05:002018-02-28T16:03:33.597-05:00I am also struggling with quilting burn out.

So I am signing up for a Creative Strength series with Jane Dunnewold.

I was in an exhibit put together by two good friends on quilts for Canada's 150. And how exciting it was. I came home on a high. <br />It has not been as exciting since. And a lot of searching what and who I want to be with my quilting. There is a real sense of FOMO (The Fear of Missing Out) that goes on in the quilting world. <br />Get this fabric, gadget, book, tool, etc before it is gone. Take this class, technique etc and expand into something. <br />My daughter was my partner in my adventure and she put the FOMO description out there for me. I had the feelings but did not know of the term. Since then I have been seeing the world a bit different. <br />I think it is good and healthy to have times where you are trying to figure things out. Maybe your just at the junction of another path and need to figure out what road you want to go on. Nothing wrong with that . And even if your not showing lots of quilty progress I enjoy your writing and words. <br />Remember to as you lost a friend that can make you reflective too. Do what feeds your soul. Life is to short to do other wise. Jo Vandermeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07387737331055177779noreply@blogger.com
