I won't be posting tomorrow, so I'm going to show my Seeds of Kindness progress for this week. The bottom row is not attached to the quilt, but it is sewn together.
It continues to grow.
Till next time,

Speaking of Seeds of Kindness, I have been delinquent in mailing fabric back to MOST of my contributors. I have been so busy that I thought I drove up behind myself on interstate 74 today. I have been nearly living in the car. I have not sewn one stitch today.

Here's a picture of it in my purse. Ready for the makeover?
I realized that I could re-use most of the liner. I would make it a stand-up and not hang-over liner. How?? Very easily. I sliced off all of the liner below the ruffle and ties. Yick--it was grayed and worn from about 5 years of constant service. The problem was that the liner wouldn't stay up w/o help.
Cardboard to the rescue...I spied a box nearby, cut it to size, punched holes along the sides, and used twist ties to keep it together. I simply placed the cardboard between the two layers of liner and attached regular binding as if it were a quilt. Then I hand sewed a running stitch to hold the 2 layers of liner together so the cardboard wouldn't slip down (or the liner slip UP).
The finished product. Nice, huh? And it only took about an hour of work to revamp the old. Ahhh...I love it when a plan comes together. Ready for another 5 years of service!
Please be generous in sharing your tips and ideas. I love reading them.
