Re: Restyling the Regift

I knew a woman once who took an ugly flowered 1960's type apron/happy top gift and made a very cute purse with that as the lining. Definetely an improvement and would never have occurred to me!

Re: How to Make a Super-Simple Recycled Quilt

Every once in a while the tied knots don't stay tied as well as you would like - the EZ solution is to do a surgeons knot. Very simple - instead of a plain granny square knot, you wrap your thread going under twice, both right and left. You may need to leave a slightly longer tail until you get used to doing this. It should hold up against pets and small fingers very well.
