The Right Angle

Are you looking for a quilting adventure? Hi there quilters and welcome to spring. Consider joining the "Strippers" for a week long hands-on seminar in Las Vegas this summer. We'll move in from July 14-18 and Mary Ellen Hopkins, well known quilting concept creator will teach us on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Among her offerings will be her "Bricks & Mortar" quilt. There's no pattern available so the only place to get the how-to of this popular design is in class. Then, on Wednesday, it's my turn to teach and I've chosen "Trip Xs Two," a splendid, organized scrap quilt that you will love. And yes, there is a pattern and sample-packed CD  for the "Trip." You can get a copy at my web store for $15.00. and it also will be available in Vegas. This pattern offers excitement and versatility wrapped up in fun and a clever process. It will use lots of your stash, too. July in Vegas is hot but accommodations are very reasonable. We have a huge sewing room and have scheduled a variety of special activities. What's more, there's plenty of air conditioning everywhere. For more information and to register, contact coordinator Barb Tryon at barbtryon@lakefield.net. Or you can call her at 920/323-1347 on her cell phone or at 920/682-0743 at home. Peeking out from the last of the snow drifts, I'm hoping your year is looking bright and wish you happy quilting Until next time, Jan Krueger Hearthside Quilters Nook P.S.

Drop two Alka Seltzer tablets in the toilet bowl, wait twenty minutes, then brush and flush. The citric acid and effervescent action make short work of yuk and bring the sparkle back to vitreous china. Removing stains from a vase or cruet... Fill the vessel with water and drop in two of the fizzing tablets. All will glisten... Drop two Alka Seltzers into a glass of water and immerse your jewelry for two minutes. For a cleaner beverage... Fill your thermos with water, drop in four seltzer tablets and soak for an hour (or perhaps longer if necessary). It's an absolute drain... Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka Seltzer tablets down it. Follow with a cup of white vinegar; wait a few minutes; and run the hot water. Perhaps these will leave you in stitches, but they all really work. I tried them after a customer sent me the list a long time ago.
