That last one definitely eludes me.<BR/><BR/>And the sheets! You really do have a knack for finding fabulous things at the thrift store. I bet I've gone to the same stores as you (I think I actually saw you at Whole Foods on Saturday! no, I'm not a stalker...honest!) and I come out with nothing...I just don't have an eye for 'pretty'.Maggihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095163253559265777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-91885885053281369232007-06-25T08:24:00.000-07:002007-06-25T08:24:00.000-07:00thank you for all the 'bias binding' love..it woul...thank you for all the 'bias binding' love..it would seem i am not alone with wishing those pretty little items were mine..<BR/><BR/>rosaleen, thank you for thinking of me...my mum says the exact same thing when she looks for slips..isn't it strange! my friend Laura finds a multitude of them in North Carolina...obviously it must be the slip wearing state from days gone by...dottie angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09935619132467255438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-20838895710446029182007-06-25T06:02:00.000-07:002007-06-25T06:02:00.000-07:00I love binding, and most of all patterned binding!...I love binding, and most of all patterned binding!<BR/>I just discovered your blog through the Tree Fall blog, and I shall have to come back to see your archive.

I remember them showing us how to do that at School but we had the worst sewing teacher that she made it all terribly boring and I'd kind of forgotten about it. Seeing those pictures though it's kind of come back to me. I like the idea of having a stash of pretty binding waiting to be used.Nonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071061655794919090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-75189187043353748942007-06-25T02:33:00.000-07:002007-06-25T02:33:00.000-07:00Spooky - only yesterday I was stroking my bias bin...Spooky - only yesterday I was stroking my bias binding gadget and planning some funky adventures....<BR/>However if I could buy all that gorgeous Japanese stuff I wouldn't bother!Gigibirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13171021812450232039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-11786812572160393222007-06-25T01:10:00.000-07:002007-06-25T01:10:00.000-07:00Hello Tif!
