The title's straight from the keyboard of Karoda, who also said that next to the quilts, it's the loot that you come away with, so finally...- A super-cool adhesive ironing board cover by Bo-Nash. It gets hotter without damaging the fabric. It is very Paris Hilton-style "That's hot!" (say it slow with languid eyes) because fusible peels right off! My friend Cornelia and I were very excited about that. Also, ironing board pads. I like mine a little thicker. I wore my old one down to the holes. So sad.
- 5 fake "Born to Quilt" tattoos to rock in the warm weather months
- A mug for the hubby that says "She Quilts...I Cook!" (which is true)
- An Indonesian batik
- Polished rock and hard carved Chinese coral closures/buttons
- Japanese panels and sashiko kits and supplies
- Re-dyed kimono remnants...ooooo...
I had considered a John Flynn frame for years and finally had a chance to demo it. I think it's great because it's like having a longarm frame to hold everything taut--without the longarm machine. However, I was so disappointed because I found the work area with it to be way too limiting for me and it didn't vibe well with my quilting style. I think the rep felt really insulted when I stopped, hopped up and said, "Sorry. It's not for me!" Great product and I love Mr. Flynn's stuff, I really do--but it's just not for me!
