Kris has been shortbolting. I remember when that phrase would have sounded strange. We picked dozens of bolts that had one to three yards of fabric left. Kris folded those remnants, discounted them and moved them to the short bolt table. They magically get prettier as they get cheaper. You will have to come to the store to see most of them.

Our daughter asked Linda to make a dog bed with blanket for her French bulldog, Sir Lancelot (Lance). Lance lives in Florida so this cast version of Molly Bea occupied the bed for this photo. The exterior is fuzzy fleece. The fabric touching Lance will be even softer faux fur because, well, just because!

While your eye focuses on the needle, thread coming off the spool can twist and get tangled around spool caps. For example a large spool cap used with a mini-king cone and even the traditional smaller spool cap provide something for thread to get twisted around. The mini spool cap provides nothing for the thread to twist around. If the particular thread you are using has a twisting problem you might also use a thread net over the thread cone. This will provide a tiny amount of tension on the thread helping it to flow straight to the first thread guide.

Last evening the four shops sponsoring the Sweet Creations Shop Hop met for our post shop meeting. We had the drawing. The winners are as follows:

First Prize - Vickie Arkema from Oskaloosa. She won a $60 gift certificate from each shop.

Second Prize - Judith Krueger from Ottumwa. She won a $40 gift certificate from each shop.

Third Prize - Phyllis Fox from Oskaloosa. She won a $20 gift certificate from each shop.

Our store also had an in-store drawing for a container that looks like a very large thimble filled with fat quarters and a scissor. The winner of that drawing is Arlene Newell from Floris.

Congratulations to these winners!

Today would not be a good day to hang clothes on the line outside. However, a friend shared these photos of clothesline art. I remember how good the clothes smelled after Mom dried them on the clothesline when I was a boy.

The Sweet Creations Shop Hop continues tomorrow, Friday, 9AM to 5PM and Saturday, 9AM to 3PM. See the previous post. Put yourself in the drawing for great prizes by visiting all four shops.

The destruction of Ukraine is always on my mind. Linda and I have donated to a relief organization we trust that is active on the Ukraine/Poland border. I encourage you to do what you can. I am remembering the scene in the movie, "It's A Wonderful Life." Mr. Bailey had just come home. It became obvious to the family that something was terribly wrong. The boy, whose name I cannot remember said to Mom, "Should I pray for Daddy?" Mom replied, "Yes, pray very hard." I say to my friends, "Pray very hard for Ukraine and for others involved in the conflict, including Russian soldiers, many of whom do not believe in what their leader is requiring of them."
