I noticed after my mom left for work but before I had to leave from school. Mom told me not to scratch and that my brother would go get calamine lotion for me. I sat on my hands and arms so I wouldn't scratch and when my brother arrived, I had stripes and dots. I was wearing my favorite corduroy pants.Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09426062040438565996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-22184767304955363642011-10-20T23:39:00.212-04:002011-10-20T23:39:00.212-04:00Love the quilt on your clothes.

Fisrt question from one was "Hey, are you are quilter? You look just like my wife does when she's working on a quilt." I looked down and sure enough, little threads all over me. I wonder if there's a six degrees from a quilter game out there.Belvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04294978721662094227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-19943865406732744242011-10-20T18:10:04.678-04:002011-10-20T18:10:04.678-04:00The small or medium sized lint rollers work wonder...The small or medium sized lint rollers work wonders. We can get them for a couple of dollars in the supermarket here. Great for getting lint threads etc off clothing.

I do have a section of embroidery from a bedspread and other bits of textiles. They are all special because they remind me of my family. I do have quilts I made for my kids and a couple were called "sick quilts". I didn't think many people used that term. They were soft and comfy and just made you feel better when you weren't really feeling well. I think you need one of those disposable lint rollers next to your sewing machine. My friends teased me because I discovered them about a year ago. They laughed because I thought I had found something really cool and they, including my daughter, had been using them for sometime. LOL! I love corduroy, soft, soft corduroy and there's a corduroy quilt on my drawing board that I must do. Along with a gajillion other "must do's". :-)Sandi Linn Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15275591320281892830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-53116425366989425862011-10-20T14:43:10.991-04:002011-10-20T14:43:10.991-04:00When I find quilt droppings on my clothes, or find...When I find quilt droppings on my clothes, or find someone picking the threads off from their clothes I often say, " We are quilters.

I have no idea where my parents got them, but with 7 kids in 12 years you made due. There may be a couple of them left at my Dad's house - I don't know.

It was wool rectangles with decorative embroidery on all the seams and had flannel backing. Unfortunately, ex-fiance used it in the bottom of a tent and it rotten from the dampness, before I found out what he had done.KQ Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100001813595381733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-72435002839910143922011-10-20T10:34:14.842-04:002011-10-20T10:34:14.842-04:00Thanks to LeeAnn, I made a corduroy quilt.

I used flannel on the back to make it stick to my legs..... and also to collect all my quilt droppings. It is my new favorite quilt.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885971111481307432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-37044645207831311562011-10-20T10:21:10.241-04:002011-10-20T10:21:10.241-04:00I use corduroy all of the time.

After quilting the quilt with the corduroy backing, I knew that there was more in your future. As for the masking tape, get the lint rollers in bulk at Costco, BJ's, or Sam's club. Really they have them in bulk, trust me I have purchased them!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11515452957964923679noreply@blogger.com
