OK, wanted ask something but wasn't a vent, so made new topic, but now I see there are lots of neat topics under this Chit Chat.


Has anyone been to the HUGE yard sale between AL and TN?

[broobar]

My cousins went last year and said it was fantastic.  I know they bought things in Gadsen, AL.

[quilter422]

i have heard about it - supposed to be fab!

[lovetostitch]

We may have talked about this before:

I've always loved the way the quilts are hung at Pottery Barn - had a picture of it, and now that hubby will do it..... wouldn't you know I can't find the picture!!    Does anyone else have a picture?     It's several rows of poles with quilts hung over - some are folded, some are open.

Linda... are you talking about the 127 yard sale?  I did some of it from here to the KY border a couple years ago... got myself a treadle  machine and other nicknacks

hm

[lovetostitch]

yes...........   i think.  I always wanted to go, but haven't.  Is it 127 miles or Hwy 127 something like that.

[lovetostitch]

Has anyone used the plastic templates for the hexies (as for Grandma Flower Garden)?  I'm thinking of getting them, and doing Pat's pattern - which size would I get? 

[dixie]

I purchased a set of the 1" ones, after I finished my GFG WH   I think that is a good size & would have made my life a lot easier. I kept sewing the dang papers into the WH. Lots of angst when ripping them out. Plastic is the way to go

[lovetostitch]

Does that mean 1" finished size?  Thanks!!!

[dixie]

Yes, finished

Linda... it is Hwy 127.... goes through 5 states... not sure how many miles, but a lot more thatn 127!

hm

[lovetostitch]

thanks, hm!!!

[HeyJudee]

Does that mean 1" finished size?  Thanks!!!

I think that 1" finished means that each side of the hexie is 1" when finished.  That's the size I'm using for my GFG...that I have been working on since forever....cause I only work on it when I go to the doctor's office.  And thankfully that hasn't been very often...and I'm knocking on wood that it continues to be that way.

[dixie]

Judy, You're right. Each side of the hexie is 1" when finished.

hmmmmmmmmmm, No step away from the hexies. Right now, just step away. Whew, it passed
