Colette LeFever commented on Chef Lisa's group Charm Square Swap!"Sandi it just means that you don't have near enough pins...that is my excuse when i run out of safety pins for pin basting. I just need another couple of packs. Right now I have the gigantor kleenex box full of safety pins for pin…"

Colette LeFever replied to carla j walton's discussion projects and pictures in the group Batik Strip Swap"Thank you. Have one more to make for my sister for mother's day. Then maybe back to my own quilting. "
Colette LeFever replied to carla j walton's discussion projects and pictures in the group Batik Strip Swap"Thanks Sandi. I figured it out, then showed her the first one and the next two she did on her own. Everyone she sews with kept telling her to do the hst ones but she wanted to do a true diamond."
Colette LeFever replied to carla j walton's discussion projects and pictures in the group Batik Strip Swap"It is just actually that you take a tube, fold it in half, and put an embroidery hoop around it.

Colette LeFever replied to carla j walton's discussion projects and pictures in the group Batik Strip Swap"Thanks I am so proud of her, and I must be a pretty good teacher if she could learn. I told her that I expected a King sized quilt, and the way she is going she could make it in about 6 weeks, she just laughed at me. "
Colette LeFever replied to carla j walton's discussion projects and pictures in the group Batik Strip Swap"Yes she was determined to make a Christmas Table Runner. "
