But, as a fellow Jew who celebrates Chanukah. Wasn't this supposed to be a Chanukah gift fron Narda?

You can find those at any sewing center or some craft shops. Also, you might be able to find some quilt kits, which have pre-cut pieces, and that might help get you started.Blondiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969288306627100703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998040.post-1133755654124957912005-12-04T23:07:00.000-05:002005-12-04T23:07:00.000-05:00so far, I've tried out all of the stitches, made b...so far, I've tried out all of the stitches, made black and red bobbins, and started a "tester quilt." - I'm cutting out 4 inch squares and sewing them together. What I am realizing, however, is that I need a "surer" method for cutting out my squares, as they aren't "exactly" even, so not going together perfectly.... But just fine for the tester quilt, which will probably become a pillow.<BR/><BR/>I bought some quilt squares from Ebay for 5 bucks, so that should go smoother. I will have MUCh fun over the next few weekends!Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03159550437519461534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998040.post-1133750986691012482005-12-04T21:49:00.000-05:002005-12-04T21:49:00.000-05:00Yay!!
