It doesn't pull out of shape as it hangs and you can pick one up cheap practically anywhere here - I am not sure about Japan though! My friend then attached old gift wrap rolls to the bottom and hangs it from ribbons on the top. When she needs to put it away she just rolls it up and unhooks the ribbons.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12725022029753732338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-58137054508971461252011-10-06T08:13:29.250-07:002011-10-06T08:13:29.250-07:00Hi Julie!

One day... one day. I hope to have the carpet and tile ripped out of our house. <br /><br />And your quilt blocks... coming along nicely. Laying blocks on a flannel backed vinyl tablecloth (if available) works nicely, I hear. Also, just a large piece of batting.<br /><br />The evergreen you describe sounds delightful. I think I would love the mixture of those fragrances. At my parents house, there was a Carolina Sweet Shrub outside the kitchen window. Made for doing dishes a bit easier with its fragrance of all-spice. <br /><br />Have fun today with your group...

Sometimes I don't even dust because I need to get to my sewing room so I just dust off my sewing table and ignore the rest for a while. I enjoy reading your blog, such an interesting way you have with words. Enjoy your clean house!Hilachashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13576276299330023752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-26405572115688623412011-10-06T07:20:40.955-07:002011-10-06T07:20:40.955-07:00I use flannel and love it although I sometimes hav...I use flannel and love it although I sometimes have to run the ceiling fan on low to avoid pieces flying off :-)Carol Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846301646769655933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-27865202865721560932011-10-06T06:55:29.978-07:002011-10-06T06:55:29.978-07:00I am one of those, I can take a years worth of mes...I am one of those, I can take a years worth of mess and have it all done in a day, when I have to, lol. With two cats and a dog, I always have to vacuum to keep the hair down.

When I open my kitchen door, our main entrance, and see the shine I just breathe in the smell of home. :) I tried vacuuming my cat once (he died several years ago). He didn't appreciate my efforts. I use flannel for my design wall. Blocks don't stick forever but add a pin or two and it will do fine, even when you roll it up. blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-36546048873766710452011-10-06T03:49:06.393-07:002011-10-06T03:49:06.393-07:00I thought it was just me that tidied frantically f...I thought it was just me that tidied frantically for guests and that everyone else lived perfectly tidily and cleanly all the time! <br />Try a flannelette sheet as a makeshift design wall, it works brilliantly and can be taken down and folded awat as necessary.

The floor looks great and I know what you mean about teh smell of wax - i am just glad that I don't have to wax as we have tiles and carpet. design wall - I have my folding one now but it is not big enough for a double bed quilt. When I lived overseas in a rented house I put nails at the top of the wall, used a long piece of dowel and over which I strung a flannel sheet. I used that to make two 6 x 8 ft quilts for my sons and it worked fine.Jan Mareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00458970654045196193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-12211805186759055722011-10-06T00:58:04.081-07:002011-10-06T00:58:04.081-07:00Isn't it funny how we think we need to make ou...Isn't it funny how we think we need to make our homes spic and span for visitors?
