I have been so busy with Christmas and work I took a break from Stitchin Fingers but I'm back now. It's cool we live so close. Maybe we can meet up sometime soon. There is another crazy quilter in the area (New Albany) that I get together with to stitch whenever we have time.

At 12:37pm on July 3, 2008, Janet said…: I was hoping someone could help me with a problem. I am having to remove a lot of serger hems from a lot of fabric swatches and am wondering if there is an easier way to do it, than with shears and cutting them all out. I was wondering if there is a certain thread that one pulls that would undo it for me. Any help for me from anyone? Thanks Janet

As for your question..........You can punch/felt almost any fabric. I like to use wool felt,acrylic felt and flannel for backgrounds. The chiffon scarves gather themselves as they are punched as does silk and organdy. The turquoise/pearls picture on the main MF arts group is a chiffon scarf with little pearls sewn on it. I simply felted it into a background fabric.

I'm sorry for my too late responce, I was on holiday. Thank you so much for your nice words about my work.
I love to create seam treatments on my CQ blocks instead of using trims. As you can see, I love to add beads, pearls, sequins to create more fancy seam treatments.
Those "fan" looking little flowers are traditional an old Turkish needle lace art, called oya. I have a small business to sell them, if you interested in contact me privately, I send you more info. You may be able to see other types of flowers at my photo gallery and blog as well.
Best wishes from Istanbul,
Rengin
