And another increase :( They are going to price themselves out of business. <br />Hugs :)<br />LaurenRugs and Pugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084387971128823025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480427156320353979.post-68536041836024091772016-01-20T19:31:17.588-05:002016-01-20T19:31:17.588-05:00Hope to see how it all comes out.
Week before last...Hope to see how it all comes out.<br />Week before last, one of our neighbors was trying to mail a box containing a wreath to Oklahoma. The clerk said, the post office no longer has air freight, they piggy back air packages onto fedex. So you pay the P.O., and then the piggy cost to fedex. It was going to cost him $18.95 to mail it, then the piggy cost made the total $44.00! He took it back to the house.anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269208573774815462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480427156320353979.post-86147818090370057302016-01-20T17:27:51.328-05:002016-01-20T17:27:51.328-05:00I will be interested to see who those turn out, I ...I will be interested to see who those turn out, I do have velvet.<br />Postage is a pain, love sending things but it keeps going up and seems cheaper to just send the money, nowadays.<br /><br />DebbieWoolenSailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621977477193550261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480427156320353979.post-6746381445448146622016-01-20T16:34:00.546-05:002016-01-20T16:34:00.546-05:00Questions about the soaking velvet - are they soa...Questions about the soaking velvet - are they soaking in soapy water or soaking in slow simmering soapy water on the stove? Will you set the colors with vinegar, then rinse ?<br /><br />ThanksJacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04203042019743048339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480427156320353979.post-69004806139388302722016-01-20T11:59:30.283-05:002016-01-20T11:59:30.283-05:00The postal service will price themselves right out...The postal service will price themselves right out of service. Shipping over the border is sooo expensive that I hate to have to send for rug hooking supplies when I run out of backing or dye. I had to mix some dyes to get black not long ago with no recipe and it turned out ok. I used it to darken some dye recipes and haven't used it on a piece of fabric yet. <br /><br />I'm looking forward to see what your married velvet will look like. <br />I just saw a tutorial today on Rug Hooking Daily about finishing the rug edge by rolling the backing forward and using #6 cut wool fabric and it was matching exactly the wool in the rug. It looks easy enough.<br />Soup on a winter day is perfect. ( sorry for the long comment, I'm home alone)<br />Hugs,<br />JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480427156320353979.post-55726135520574497812016-01-20T10:19:33.947-05:002016-01-20T10:19:33.947-05:00Nice find on the velvet.

Maggie B uses quite a bit in her wool applique and her stuffed pieces and it is lovely. Not having access to a local rug source or quilt shop means I do a lot of online shopping...not thrilled about the postal rates.Jennie in GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18266853059892546656noreply@blogger.com
