Did You Stock Up?


I think I'm ready.
Many a vintage baby quilt to make.
I've given up pinning the squares on & have advanced to glue sticks.

Here's the latest kit -- Robots & Rockets



Get those school supplies while you can.
Stocked up on crayons too. Paid a $1.40 for a box this spring -- not doing that again. Crayon rolls to create. I think they'd make a good Halloween treat - tooth friendly. Out here, we only get 8 people, but I always have to buy a lot of candy, just in case.
Have a great weekend!

    How do you use the glue sticks?

    Hey Corrie, I've made several of the Vintage Baby quilts and I'll let you in on a little secret that I use to hold the squares in place. You can find this in the back to school supplies too. Washable Elmer's glue. Just put a little dab in the middle of the square. They all stay on while your sewing the rows. then it washes out when you wash the quilt. I have one that is still glued on that I started back in April. I guess I should finish that one, huh? Try it you might like it to. oohsaahsw@aol.com

    My kids glue sticks are what I used when I made my Vintage Baby quilt. LOVE IT! And now I'm getting ready to make 2 more!

    Thanks for the Jelly Roll & Charm packs they are perfect!!

    I actually bought the wash out fabric adhesive, but am scared to make this quilt! I bought it a while ago to make as a baby gift (he's 4 months old now!) and haven't done it, as the measuring and placement of the squares seems so daunting! I guess I should just suck it up and do it!!

    I've been using glue stick for evah. It surprises me that people don't know about glue sticks. I also use lots of regular elmer's glue. I use a very fine metal tip to get just the tiniest thinnest line possible and then heat set it with my iron. Holds better than glue stick, completely washable and still unpermanent

    I only got a few school supplies to date. My son just needed a few notebooks of paper and some mechanical pencils. I bought him a box of crayons too - for old time's sake. ;) I should go back and get glue sticks and Elmer's Washable Glue. Thanks for the reminder.
    LOVE the quilt!!! LOVE IT!

    I know this is a popular quilt but I can't get past the laying it on a grid and marking it. It seems like a waste of time to me. But I don't like rough edge quilting so I just leave it alone.
