That means not only do we have to try to extract answers from the graduate students (Financial aid for which college? Education. For which university? Ummm...) but now all the alumni are calling too. Grrrr.<br />The weather is nice, but now HOT - into the 90s. But with the little rainish stuff that fell from the sky on the 25th, I had a new iris bloom & more roses.<br />I love your description of your trip to the grocery store!! I had to read that to my coworker Bev, and we were both cracking up! Hopefully the remodeling will be done soon so it's back to its regular annoying trip.<br />My friend Jake Finch, (publisher of Generation Q magazine) has just started teaching a new class. It's called "I CAN Teach You to Paper-Piece without Tears-PROMISE!". Maybe another idea for a future program for guild. Jake's happy to travel. :^) (http://mamamakesquilts.com/what-i-teach/) She's fun & a wonderful teacher.quiltzyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08847188443140845514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-13244556587768275452015-04-30T05:51:55.438-07:002015-04-30T05:51:55.438-07:00yes please share the pattern for the celtic knot, ...yes please share the pattern for the celtic knot, I'd love to make one for a friend.

I've always thought the cashiers are the ones that will start killing people with all they have to put up with.

Reminds me of the fun my husband likes to have with the young clerks when we buy eggs and they ask "Did you check your eggs"? Husband almost always answers "Yep, there's 12 of 'em in there". Most of them pause for a few seconds before they get it. Then picturing Mike's dad saying "Candy" for the slugs.<br /><br />Love that Celtic Knot pattern. And the shamrocky fabric for the borders, too.<br /><br />Teresa F.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-77332181094333876442015-04-29T16:18:40.065-07:002015-04-29T16:18:40.065-07:00Sorry I totally forgot the link in my novel.

I don't know if you've tried glue basting yet. I find it makes paper piecing much easier. Here is a video from quilty (they're using it on curved piecing) but the concept is the same. It gives the nice points that paper piecing promises. (just put a pin in one corner and swivel the top section of block put your thin line of glue and iron then you can remove the pin and sew)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
