Enjoyed your reporting on the Textiles in a Tube show. You juried in some unusual and beautiful work. What a treat!<br />best, nadiaMulticoloredPieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161913409399066123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-49379021096349749992012-06-13T15:26:57.961-04:002012-06-13T15:26:57.961-04:00Olof -- you're a doll, but I'm on a roll a...Olof -- you're a doll, but I'm on a roll and this quilt is going to be finished with what I have on hand within the next week!! or else!!!<br /><br /><br />I'll think about your kind offer and may take you up on it for a future piece.kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-49398583735643424302012-06-13T12:16:38.166-04:002012-06-13T12:16:38.166-04:00Want me to take a look around at the shops here, t...Want me to take a look around at the shops here, take photos of what I find and if you want any of the fabric I can get it for you?

I think I have plenty for this quilt, which I plan to augment with fabric marker (coloring in some of the white stripes). Not sure whether I will try to replenish my stock for a third piece -- see how much I like this one.<br /><br />In my first striped quilt (blue) I used a lot of found fabrics such as a pair of unworn pajama bottoms, bits of a sheet that I had previously cut up into a tablecloth, and some old shirts. They all looked great but when I went to quilt it, had terrible problems with skipped stitches whenever I came to one of the fabrics with poly content.kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-31778452948852120732012-06-13T09:12:38.766-04:002012-06-13T09:12:38.766-04:00have you tried cotton shirting?

I have been looking recently because my son is asking me to do a custom shirt for him...he has been working out and RTW doesn't fit the shoulders and neck anymore.<br /><br />There are some really nice shirt fabrics from quality places...at least over here. such as http://www.acornfabrics.com/fabrics/all-stripes <br />Maybe you could do a search for similar over there.<br />Sandy in the UKSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.com
