At the moment that warp seems to be a dog on the loom, but I have a plan to make it learn new tricks. When that is tamed I&#39;m going to put in some time on weaving some learning challenge sample material - on another loom, of course. Then I&#39;m going to dig into my stash of handwoven material scraps and make a tooth fairy pillow. While I&#39;m in my sewing area I&#39;ll crazy quilt enough pieces to make a few purses of my own design and hopefully serge the 11 dishtowels I have off the loom. I might even manage to finish up the beaded fringe on a crushed silk scarf/stole! &nbsp;Why do the people in my life want to eat on a schedule? </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.quiltingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=27866" width="1" height="1">http://www.quiltingdaily.com/blogs/lindsey/archive/2011/05/27/memorial-day-give-away-create-recap-and-make-it-university-long-beach.aspx#27865Sat, 28 May 2011 18:25:10 GMTdd4ad8cd-147d-404a-a568-5abd2115af5b:27865reginabdunn<p>Sewing labels on a couple of quilts, sewing a hanging sleeve onto a quilt, tracing a pattern onto fabric for thread painting, and hopefully thread painting.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.quiltingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=27865" width="1" height="1">http://www.quiltingdaily.com/blogs/lindsey/archive/2011/05/27/memorial-day-give-away-create-recap-and-make-it-university-long-beach.aspx#27864Sat, 28 May 2011 16:58:48 GMTdd4ad8cd-147d-404a-a568-5abd2115af5b:27864Jane LaFazio<p>wow!! what a great lineup at MIU!
