Hi,
Yesterday a friend of mine who is subscribed to my blog said that I never post photos here. I think I need to let everyone know that most pictures are at About Me on the left of the page,there you can see more pictures, ok?!

fabrics for my daughter's wallhanging! It is nearly redy, soon I will post the quilt here!

I have two quilts to finish by next week. One sampler quilt that I have been learning at Thread Bear in Sanderstead and one art quilt, very abstract, that I am learning online.
So, keep watching this space, soon I will post some pictures.

Make sure you visit the pictures tag, I posted some of my family photos there too.

Preparation for batting:

1. put water in tub of washing machine.
2. push the batting down with your hands until it has begun to absorb water and let it sit for 10 minutes. If your machine has a door at the front ( UK style) and not at the top like in America try this process in your bath!
3. now to the machine! Advance your machine to the spin cicle and let the water drain and spin out. DO NOT AGITATE OR THE BATTING WILL BE STUFFING!
4. now throw it in your tumble dryer fot 10 to 30 minutes, until dry.
5. Open your batting flat on a clean floor or large table, make sure it lays flat.
6. Forget it and tomorrow morning you will have wrinkles free batting with well behaved fibres and in its real size ready for basting!
