Think small PVC and a dowel, or the paper tube from a paper towel roll and the handle of a wooden spoon, depending on the size of your tag.

HELP SISTERS

I have an easy pattern to make luggage tags. One step is to take a strip of material, fold with right sides together, sew 1/4 inch seam. Turn right side out to make a tube. I used a small safety pin to pin to one end of the strip and then thread back through the strip to turn the material. It did work, but was very hard to get started. Does anyone have a better idea??? I thought this just might be the right group to question. Thanks sisters! Paula

Thanx, Terry, for posting our photo from yesterday's meeting. I enjoyed meeting you too and sharing quilting stories. This year has been the absolute best quilting experience I've ever had because of all the wonderful SoTTT sisters I've met thru the TQS Forum! Big hugs to Alex and Ricky for having a fantastic show that puts all of us in touch with each other thru the Internet or meeting in person!

Yesterday was a great day because in addition to meeting Terry Knott, I received a happy/fabulous note from Lotti of Switzerland (we all know who gorgeous Lotti is, right?), and an email from my new South Korean connection Fern Damour...Switzerland, South Korea, and Boring, Oregon (center of the universe!

)...all in one day because of TQS! It doesn't get any better than that for me in my quilt world!

Oh, I'm happy dancing!

Hugs,
Shirley

quilting00 OFFLINE Posts: 596 Thank you received: 89	Guess who I got to meet today??? Here is a clue. . . . Shirley, screen name: sforster395, and I met for coffee. Turns out we live about eight miles from each other and it took TQS to bring us together. We exchanged a few HSTs and chatted about our projects. We visited like we had known one another for years! Thanks Shirley for a wonderful time!

I have been gone for the weekend and I missed seeing all your retirement wished until this evening. Thank you so much, I love your story about the doctors office, Roseanne. Shirley knows I love the tiny bunny ear bottles and your pictures of them is great. My DH took my to te Animal Kingdom to stay for a couple of nights and I got to be like Dr. Dolittle and talk to the animals, well more like take many pictures and just plain enjoy watching them. Now it is time for quilting! Thanks you to all of you for your special wishes.

Hi Everyone. Below is a photo of what I did with all those cute bunny ears from all of your HSTs. They're in little glass bottles that are 1" x 1 1/2" which I bought online from http://www.firemountaingems.com in Oregon. I haven't decided whether to make them into pendants with colored wire coiled around the bottle's neck for stringing onto a cord, chain, etc. or save them for a shadow box display of SoTTT memorabilia later on. They might also make cute magnets for magnetic message boards...I think a tiny round magnet could be glued to the back of each bottle. Anyway, all of this came about from Dawn's suggestion to save the threads from our HSTs for postcard embellishment. I saved the threads too...and all the strips left over from trimming Edyta's paper templates. I think the fabric strips will become hair of a Shirley Sue doll later on too.

I love these, Shirley. I sure wish I had seen that sooner! As I was trimming them, I wondered what could possibly be done with them because they looked so cute laying there in the box. Since I didn't think of anything good, I sadly threw them out!
