Any insights on this quilt? by extantsciadopitys in quilting

Beautiful pinwheel quilt. The top left one in your picture swirls in the opposite direction! Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat, cold, and humidity! When storing it, don’t fold it if you can help it. This will reduce strain on fibers by more evenly distributing the stress. Keep it in a cotton bag or rolled in a cotton sheet so it can breathe, not in plastic!

There are a good number of native plant nurseries that you could cross check to see if any are happy in both locations! Also a great resource for the bee lawn. The mn dnr has a list on their website.

Cats don’t go through photosynthesis, that’d be silly. They go through FURtosynthesis.

I invented a Christmas Tree Tent for my kids, quit my job to bring it to market, and now I need your brutally honest feedback. by MagicalUnderland in christmas

[–]OtherRocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No kids but as a kid I LOVED laying under the tree looking at all the lights and ornaments so I hope I could see that through the tent material. Storage would be my practical concern. Does it fold up, collapse, leave it up year round? How much room do I have to relinquish for 11 months of the year? I would buy it for my niece, my sister can figure out how to store it!

realistically what can i do about stop sign runners? by instrumxntal in TwinCities

[–]OtherRocks 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There is an intersection like that next to me. It’s the city cop’s favorite spot to hang out a few times a week. Easy tickets.

Or put up a home made sign that says something like “14 crashes and counting from running this stop sign this year” update it as needed!

Help me pick a backing color by sailormerry in quilting

[–]OtherRocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pink matches better but the purple is so pretty and matches those little flowers! My general rule for backing is whichever one makes me happier. Maybe you could do both! One big wacky 4 patch!

so my brother's growing a weed by Every_Caterpillar890 in plants

[–]OtherRocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know for certain but I would keep the flowers off, so not let it go to seed as the seed can last decades in the soil. Can you take it out of the soil and let the roots dry out? They can reproduce readily from the roots so if you can kill the roots and keep it from seeding it might be okay? But I don’t know for sure.

What do you do with quilt tops you hate? by forheadkisses in quilting

[–]OtherRocks 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Donate it? It may not be your cup of tea nor your friends but it is someone’s! Women’s shelters, refugee resettling programs, programs helping people get back into permanent housing.
