Inappropriate Quilters

Leslie has recovered from the flu and coughing is at bay, so back on track! Rochelle issues her first apology of the year to one of our quilty friends... find out why! Leslie and Rochelle are preparing for Quilt Retreat coming up in Quitman, Texas. Leslie hasn't even started packing, which is very unlike her, but she talks about some ideas of what else to take other than the single quilt she has prepared to bring. Hand work is always a good idea!

Rochelle comes up with a new idea for wringing fabric out after starching. Leslie has been spraying with a powered sprayer in her shower, but Rochelle has been dunking and wringing with a new, fancy hand wringer (see link below).

Memory quilts are always a great gift to give. Find out tips on how to prepare for memory quilts for events! Speaking of memory quilts, Rochelle talks about using vintage quilts repurposed for new things.
