Hi Everyone

Hi Everyone!

I am a real craftlover and also love knitting and needlepoint. I would love to start quilting. My first quilt will be a blue jean quilt . Please send any patterns in to this site, if you have some.

The next item I need patterns for are preemie clothes. I have sent some to our hospital already. I really think it is important to keep those little ones warm.

Have any of you got patterns for footstools made from fruit or coffee tins? Other footstool patterns would be great.

I bought a container of foam shapes and one of foam alphabets.I am not sure what to use them for......any ideas?

I also bought stencils . They are lovely. I know different ideas Ihave for these but don't want to miss a chance to hear your ideas.

Looking forward to hearing from you all,
Bev

What age group so you want to use the foam shapes and letters for? I have little kids so I'm thinking they'd be fun in the bathtub all by themselves as they'd stick to the walls when wet. How big are they? Could you use them to make refridgerator magnets or on a felt board?
