We were able to find two small shells very similar to each other (in size and color) while in the Caribbean in November and we want to turn them into earrings for my mother in law.  I'm assuming, unless there is a better technique, that holes will have to be drilled. 

Any thoughts? I want something that is easy to do, but really sturdy.  I want them to last awhile.

 I can post pictures of the shells if that would help. 

Thanks! 

I know I'm SO behind the times, but I know I used to be able to find a TON of charm packs on ebay (when I didn't need them lol) and now that I'm looking I"m having a hard time! 

I know some of these lines are older/harder to find but does anyone have any suggestions?   I'm looking for Heather Ross Mendocino, Joel Dewberry Aviary, Denise Schmidt Katie Jump Rope and possibly some Amy Butler Dots (from whatever line the dots are from lol)

Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone know how many yards of fabric I would need to make a set of bumpers?  (assuming I use the same fabric for the entire project).

Thanks!

So I'm at the point of adding my binding and I can't decide how I want to do it! 

Do I hand stitch, or machine stitch my binding?

It's my color wheel baby quilt and I want it to be used and abused. 

Any thoughts?

If you were a nonquilter, and received this as a baby gift, would it bother you?

Any thoughts or tips on how to remove them once you've put them on? 

I put it on in the wrong direction and need to fix it, but I'm having a heck of time trying to get it unclamped!! 

HELP!!

Has anyone ever used something like this:  http://www.knitpicks.com/Sweater+Stone_AD80276.html


How well does it work?

I have one of those snap shut eye glass cases, and I want to re-cover it with some fabric I have.  The scooby doo print currently on the case won't go well with what I have in mind. 

Any thoughts? Or links? Or tutorials? 

I've been so scatter brained lately that for some reason I just can't wrap my mind around this one!

I finally finished the Turkeyzilla Purse by Monster Crochet!

I need to make a few adjustments to the legs, but other than that it's SO cute!



And my favorite turkey dreams of turkey legs!
