Great Minds...

We had a good get together on Thursday. Thanks for coming on short notice!
After talking and looking at ideas, it sounds like we have plenty to do! We worked up a calendar of ideas and I will update that and keep it current on the right side of the blog. The months will alternate between a bigger quilting project (seasonal) and then other sewing projects, ideas and patterns. Please add posts, comments or e-mail me with any ideas or thoughts that you have to share. Also, what else would you like to see on the blog? It's so fun to learn from each other!

Fun day tie dying eggs.
1.Look in your husbands closet...maybe not...or the thrift store for 100% silk ties.
2. Wrap eggs; pull fabric to the top of egg and fasten with a twist tie or string. (option; after covering egg with the piece of tie, wrap whole egg in string.) See picture.
3. Place in cold water, with 1/2 to 1 cup vinegar added to water.
4. Bring to boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and rinse with cold water.
6. This is the fun part...uncover eggs. Find your surprise!

Have fun!
