Usually at our Retreats we do a block exchange. We come home with enough blocks to make some kind of wonderful quilt.
This year we opted to do 'kits' for one another.
Rule was: Anything goes.
It did not have to be sewing related at all, hence the rule: anything goes.
I'll be posting about the different ones in the coming week.
I thought it would be such a quick, fun project.
Just perfect for a kit. I've been hanging out at the local thrift stores scouring the Kitchen Section for plates, glasses and vases.
I was thrilled with my findings.
I tried an adhesive from Home Depot calledLOCTITE Houseware Repair, DishwasherSafe, Fast drying, 1 oz.
It sets up quickly and is washable.
Side Note: Acetone will take out any mishaps you might get on your L.L. Bean sweater.
I wish these all resided at my home but alas..............I am all about sharing and giving.
AND receiving. And boy did I receive.
Can't wait to show and tell some more!
