July22, 2007 – Everybody has their own special way of fixing things. When my mother brushed my hair, she would pat my cowlick in place and fix it with a little spit. Spit is good. I use crazy glue and duct tape to make almost anything stay put. They are good, too. The equivalent of duct tape in my quilting is embroidery and applique. Not fancy stuff; simple stuff. Just a touch of the needle here and there to fix that place where things don’t go together properly. Last week I cut an unintended hole in my newest quilt project. A bit of embroidery and applique did the trick to fix it.
Hooray for spit and duct tape.
