Here's a note to all longarmers:
If you think your zippered leaders are looking dingy, DO NOT take them off and throw them in the washer. Why? Because the canvas shrinks, but the zippers don't. I have brand new leaders ready to attach to my rollers. That's the job for this evening.
I do have the last quilt top that I made at Threads of Time quilt retreat last weekend to show.
This one is made of leftovers from the Fig Tree Club table runner that I made in Shipshewana. All the projects that I made were from leftovers.
In the past, I have stacked leftovers in a pile and then every so often, I would move them to the appropriate colored plastic shoe box. Well, I'm going to try to use them up so they don't have to be stored. These last 4 quilt tops have worked out well for me.
Here is the full shot of the memory quilt from mens dress shirts. It was shipped on Tuesday and received yesterday. I hope they will send me some photos of giving it to Mary's mom.

I have ruined a pair of zippered leaders by washing them too!! I am in need of some SERIOUS spring cleaning!
oh spring is definately here when the 'cleaning bug' hits! I did my bedroom over the weekend, had hubby flip the mattress and everything...nothing like a totally clean room, even tho' it's so much work.
Those are great quilts. Makes me want to use up some of my scraps.
