Focus on a Notion
We stock many innovative notions that make sewing and quilting easier. One is the Frixion Erasable Gel Pen (click here to watch a video on it) which we have in 6 colors. Used on paper, it writes with the ease of a gel pen yet can be cleanly removed with the eraser on the end of the pen. When used on fabric as a marking pen, it can be erased with the touch of an iron. It has the unique ability of being able to be made visible again by getting it cool (put in freezer for few minutes) if you accidentally erase it before you are ready. It can be permanently erased by washing or by spraying with Best Press. As with any marking pen or pencil, it is advised you test on a scrap of fabric before using on your quilt.
Quilts for Local Military Personel
Several members of the community have expressed interest in making quilts for men and women from Niobrara County who are presently serving in the military. We contemplate needing 20-25 quilts. If you would be interested in being involved in this project, please call me. I will compile a list of those interested and we will schedule an organizational meeting. This is a big project for a community of quilters the size of ours, and in order to make it work we need help! If you have any ideas or wish to help in any way, call or e-mail. 307-334-9963. karen@licketystitchquilting.com
