What a great time we had during the 4th of July! We had a wonderful firework display and a great time with 4 of our grandchildren and their parents. As we grow older, we realize how blessed we are to have our family!
Tomorrow we will probably be touring Yellowstone National park with 3 of our other grandchildren. I can't wait!
I hope you are having a wonderful summer with your family!
Quilting Tips:
I have been using my thimble a lot lately. I find it flying off my finger all to frequently! I found this tip this morning and thought I would give it a try. As I said, I haven't tried it yet, but I am for NOT buying a new thimble! LOL!! Here is the tip:
"If your thimble is a little too large for your finger, remove the thimble, lick your finger and put the thimble back on...your thimble will not fly off your finger again."
This is one that I want to try! Hope you will find it useful as well!
"I make my own variegated thread in ANY two- or three-color combinations I want. I just thread all of the threads through my machine and through a #14 JEANS NEEDLE. (It has a large hole, and is very sharp.) If you do not have extra spool holders on your machine, just place each of the extra threads in a heavy mug near the back of your machine, and thread the machine in it's usual manner. I use my "usual" thread, but embroidery thread is thinner, if you would prefer that. The results are so exciting!"
