I got it home and admired it for a few days. While doing this I considered the options of laundering it. I ended up in favor of a trip through the wash cycle with some Orvus soap. I felt glad for washing it, because I saw how dingy the water was when I looked in the machine part way into the wash cycle. Yuck!</div>

I let it dry naturally out on the lawn. Noticed some pilling that makes me think it has a wool batting in it. Which I'm a great fan. Wool is so light weight, but incredibly warm. The fibers brushed right off. Luckily, there was only one small area of the binding that came undone. I quickly sewed it up and it's been on our bed as a coverlet for over a month.</div>

<br />
There was a pair of vintage crazy quilts sewn by a local women's group. Because of the dates in the embroidery, it is known that the quilt was made in the twenties. <br />

One man came dressed in his explorer costume and he bought several buckskins for the Rendezvous that is taking place at the RiversidePark today. Later, a high school classmate of mine came by and chose a larger leather piece to use as a backdrop for his photography business.<br />
<br />
More of my Avon products sold, so I brought over a few more items to fill the table. Again, the skin care items are moving the fastest. I'll have to remember that for the next rummage extravaganza. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqOh7pCszE1n53AdwwVutNcf1ipQRHTb_exKb18GzJf5Z10Jqij6p4Lha85Z8qUK0lLmlWuVSNhXKsfzA8EsPEaofwrNJLPI2rWseV3vvN6q0wttgMeCaeP7xO88zLQ09hbQYsYdP9msuM/s640/blogger-image--1184841333.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqOh7pCszE1n53AdwwVutNcf1ipQRHTb_exKb18GzJf5Z10Jqij6p4Lha85Z8qUK0lLmlWuVSNhXKsfzA8EsPEaofwrNJLPI2rWseV3vvN6q0wttgMeCaeP7xO88zLQ09hbQYsYdP9msuM/s640/blogger-image--1184841333.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhshxsynIButgss27XySbCrClH4bm_sFR1cLlodG5Tp6Irqxfgw3ErSPDnSsERNNztYud3NmlHhJup4FX1jvb4Bhfscd3a7rAwUN6YSMhcbEtAhCvQ8b41L86AJzP94u84FIZjdwpvd9LTS/s640/blogger-image--578545112.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhshxsynIButgss27XySbCrClH4bm_sFR1cLlodG5Tp6Irqxfgw3ErSPDnSsERNNztYud3NmlHhJup4FX1jvb4Bhfscd3a7rAwUN6YSMhcbEtAhCvQ8b41L86AJzP94u84FIZjdwpvd9LTS/s640/blogger-image--578545112.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw7aZYiAfb3q2081hNGVKLwKc-UnZBYHKtfNgjnS490NOnMXrA4Q4KwinQim1TvV7GfB2g5D54g8whaLqR-M2q3hs_4HxYmmZj3YLr7PfxED-emwl8Gst-50Htk8EMOob5WVR0yuJk629m/s640/blogger-image-839448279.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw7aZYiAfb3q2081hNGVKLwKc-UnZBYHKtfNgjnS490NOnMXrA4Q4KwinQim1TvV7GfB2g5D54g8whaLqR-M2q3hs_4HxYmmZj3YLr7PfxED-emwl8Gst-50Htk8EMOob5WVR0yuJk629m/s640/blogger-image-839448279.jpg" /></a></div>Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05440045492355646316noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-979896192115076597.post-67240429871662387952012-07-14T07:29:00.002-05:002012-07-14T07:29:47.171-05:00Side Trip to Mill End Textiles<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

The night we were there it was threatening to storm. We shopped around and put plenty of sewing treasures in the cart. By the time we were ready to check out a torrential downpour had begun. The lights flickered more than once, but luckily the power did not go out. <br />

Spent the day selling off some extra Avon products at my friend's rummage sale. That went really well and so tomorrow I'll add new products. More make up and skin products sold than I expected. Last year bath products flew off the table, but none sold yet this year. <br />

We were lucky enough that our hotel room faced the lake so we were able to place our chairs on the front lawn and had the convenience of no traffic to fight after the show.<br />
<br />
We noticed some odd floating lanterns that seemed to be released randomly. Apparently, it was something that could be purchased and lit then they float up into the sky like a balloon. One happened to land on the road right in front of us right after the fireworks show was over. My husband went over to see it when it fell on the road. He said it was made of some kind o thin paper. Perhaps it is made to be biodegradable. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbIiNIL7ZXlpMmoW5_XylwnPKWVpQvakFRcvZtEm_EEU4UoeyfjGdJqRpwNJ0FWDOw8bBwN6oBGclUtjgv8BXw058S91nwWn6_FEw0Fn22vnNuqPSzmR-tMDLKy2CjfNNJPz493xsJFMSQ/s640/blogger-image--629107425.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbIiNIL7ZXlpMmoW5_XylwnPKWVpQvakFRcvZtEm_EEU4UoeyfjGdJqRpwNJ0FWDOw8bBwN6oBGclUtjgv8BXw058S91nwWn6_FEw0Fn22vnNuqPSzmR-tMDLKy2CjfNNJPz493xsJFMSQ/s640/blogger-image--629107425.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw9zf7TxXx0v8XxS1RJiNV-Ae_d3_DHoOcYIqA0I26ts4Kp5G8-L87_XErFUL1qijPANM3Bqp8NstOZIRxNNJFTZP9ByGd8JZI0g0_hY8h3J76Y3f1A2o6mrkh0VPsytsXbfZGEemSk9EL/s640/blogger-image--1983608487.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw9zf7TxXx0v8XxS1RJiNV-Ae_d3_DHoOcYIqA0I26ts4Kp5G8-L87_XErFUL1qijPANM3Bqp8NstOZIRxNNJFTZP9ByGd8JZI0g0_hY8h3J76Y3f1A2o6mrkh0VPsytsXbfZGEemSk9EL/s640/blogger-image--1983608487.jpg" /></a></div>Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05440045492355646316noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-979896192115076597.post-58533487336624380502012-07-03T22:58:00.001-05:002012-07-03T22:58:11.913-05:00Lloyd-Flanders WickerWhen we stopped for gas in Menominee, Michigan, I noticed an interesting factory right across the street. I wasn't sure what they manufactured, but I snapped a photo so I could look them up later. <br />
<br />
I see they make fine wicker furniture and lovely replacement cushions for many styles of wicker. I do love the wicker look for summer while relaxing on the patio. <br />
<br />
This company has many creative designs and many photos of retired sets to help people identify their sets for ordering new cushions. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhyY7PYCsFamLASZA2z6jOTi47YFVWJpo0QfirQIxI2YKVu_v5F6gTZiz-LYNmW5xWTgQuDGzWyrUnJ3E35Fbi5Plx4a0Dc9Fx5f_5JgBvZkRr3fB53Tabua1x1-SJJFTaJIY6nul-SIgf/s640/blogger-image-915255892.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhyY7PYCsFamLASZA2z6jOTi47YFVWJpo0QfirQIxI2YKVu_v5F6gTZiz-LYNmW5xWTgQuDGzWyrUnJ3E35Fbi5Plx4a0Dc9Fx5f_5JgBvZkRr3fB53Tabua1x1-SJJFTaJIY6nul-SIgf/s640/blogger-image-915255892.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ3kwBx6n1vWnhVeBGMDg3uJ0hAF882Hauwm5l5R8KL9aO6hUJkfQXfWVLqWYAXKvFXBqaeF5UuaFDJ581qmtiV-sX4nsJgRCsk5e7Fa0SHgiKs0pmSoXcAHCXc7RBC3oMELGiKXvNN2Iv/s640/blogger-image-84022974.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ3kwBx6n1vWnhVeBGMDg3uJ0hAF882Hauwm5l5R8KL9aO6hUJkfQXfWVLqWYAXKvFXBqaeF5UuaFDJ581qmtiV-sX4nsJgRCsk5e7Fa0SHgiKs0pmSoXcAHCXc7RBC3oMELGiKXvNN2Iv/s640/blogger-image-84022974.jpg" /></a></div>Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05440045492355646316noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-979896192115076597.post-3068890057643626552012-07-02T07:56:00.001-05:002012-07-02T08:04:40.248-05:00Summer VacationMackinac Island, here we come!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc2JIqQ4aOXxEnyGcyueLGOJBa3ZThVoyGksvac51t7Nti7h0MZQ68YD-nh-Rs1Wq8IqgVIM-EIjoEjqD48bWtvF0vBej4-xxEZyzkKCutwbYl4-V2laI3aXlR1ixvW9cuI87KaxU4sgBC/s640/blogger-image-1577123490.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc2JIqQ4aOXxEnyGcyueLGOJBa3ZThVoyGksvac51t7Nti7h0MZQ68YD-nh-Rs1Wq8IqgVIM-EIjoEjqD48bWtvF0vBej4-xxEZyzkKCutwbYl4-V2laI3aXlR1ixvW9cuI87KaxU4sgBC/s640/blogger-image-1577123490.jpg" /></a></div>Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05440045492355646316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-979896192115076597.post-11063042997523201202012-06-14T10:39:00.002-05:002012-06-14T18:29:43.157-05:00Quilting Report<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlY3R8ehnnN45j0Y14Hsjk-KYwqZ8zP_w0PhCbseuiNghxd79WM6MI3jxPnBEQmNzRxvrR8gjzfp82_IZkFSPidv6DBHCSadqJJhFEM9uzBnptVUbZyiPlTOPRgBNn0OcaUE6aGZF8xXhY/s640/blogger-image-1508021194.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlY3R8ehnnN45j0Y14Hsjk-KYwqZ8zP_w0PhCbseuiNghxd79WM6MI3jxPnBEQmNzRxvrR8gjzfp82_IZkFSPidv6DBHCSadqJJhFEM9uzBnptVUbZyiPlTOPRgBNn0OcaUE6aGZF8xXhY/s640/blogger-image-1508021194.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>A friend and I have been a part of the Sparta quilt shops club for many years. We usually made the blocks for a sampler club quilt. It involved making a block month. Most times I put them together during Christmas vacation and then sewed the borders on during summer vacation. I took two of the quilts to my neighbors shop, Carol's Corner to be long arm quilted. They turned out beautifully!<br />

If I get the stuff out and play with the pieces I might be more inspired to work on it. <br />

Today we are on our way to the Minnesota quilt show in Rochester! We will be enjoying ourselves and may even have some time to sew in the hotel room! I am going to pack a bag of sewing jobs and I'll take one of my machines along. <br />

I've been pulling weeds endlessly and putting down some mulch. The husband's been keeping control of the unwanted volunteer trees along the fence line. They got totally out of control in the last 3 years. He battled them with the Saws-All tool and the tree pruner. Then I saw him with the industrial size container of round up. I hope that does them in.</div>
