I was really surprised and happy to see that my hint is now in print! Guess you can’t keep a good hint down! It is now in Fons & Porter Love of Quilting Magazine, page 8 in the May June 2012 issue! WOW!
Do you remember when I first posted this, almost a year ago? Well, guess what? Fons and Porter contacted me last month and they are going to use this on their tips section on TV! It will be on episode 1810 and should be on sometime this fall. I tried looking for it on the website but it’s not up yet, not until after they air the show! I will go ahead and tape it and provide a link when it airs! What a blast!
I recently had a great idea on how to recycle the gum dispensers! You take the dispenser when it is empty, screw the top off and then you have an empty container ready to be filled with your yardage of rick-a-rack, lace, binding, etc. Then when you are ready to use it, you open the small slot and pull through the amount that you need to use to finish your project. It keeps your binding clean and tidy and right at hand!
PS: I sent a copy to Fons & Porter. Maybe they will share it on TV and I can win a free subscription!

Hello and welcome to my website!
My name is Donna. My hubby and I are retired. We have twin daughters and are blessed with 4 grandchildren. We are owned by a cat, Purrl. who loves to supervise and is very nosy.
I have been quilting since 1996. In addition to making quilts for my family and friends, I also make charity quilts for Marjoree Mason Center and Valley Children's Hospital. Marjoree Mason Center is a local organization here that helps and supports battered and abused women and children get out of abusive relationships. Every Christmas I make several baby quilts for the women, with a small stuffed animal or toy.
I also belong to the San Joaquin Valley Quilters' Guild here in Fresno. Since I retired, I have been trying to finish most of my UFOs, but my stash is way out of control! I have lately gotten into designing quilts and enjoy that even more than sewing them! I love colors of all types and consider myself to be a true scrappy quilter and I do love playing with designs.
I am the owner/moderator of Scrappy Quilters on Facebook, where we are very active with many mystery quilts, challenges and swaps. I welcome you to come by and check us out at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScrappyQuilters.
Thank you for dropping by and I hope to see you again soon.
