It was pulled up and stored on the porch. <br><br>When the ladies showed up to work it was let down and each woman had a chair. <br><br>I've watched the Amish and Mennonite women, even girls as young as ten. They all seem to have the same consistency of stitch. thelmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-66289005780647126912007-05-26T22:44:00.000+09:002007-05-26T22:44:00.000+09:00Your fans are coming along nicely.I'm a hoople...Your fans are coming along nicely.<br><br>I'm a hoopless quilter too, lol.QuiltingFitzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15549596096039062349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-43174883364116271932007-05-26T21:49:00.000+09:002007-05-26T21:49:00.000+09:00Sorry Tanya - do virtually no hand quilting so I&#...Sorry Tanya - do virtually no hand quilting so I'm not a person to give advice at all on a bee. Shelina has a good point about raising the quilt up to the ceiling when out of use - I've seen people do that with small model train layouts too. You'd have to be careful of light fittings and of course have sufficient headroom to not bash your head as you walk in that area. How nice to have your daughter back soon - is that back to Japan for good now?anne bebbingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08352283065863856112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-69378619279171196432007-05-26T20:47:00.000+09:002007-05-26T20:47:00.000+09:00Your quilting is looking great, I don't have t...Your quilting is looking great, I don't have time to hand quilt very much so I really can't pass on any tips.
