Re: Magazine Giveaway: "Threads" Issue #165 (February/March 2013)
I really enjoy all kinds of handwork, but my favorite has to be hand stitching the back of quilt binding - very soothing and as my first quilt instructor used to say, a nice way to say "goodbye" to a quilt!

Wow! I well remember my grandmother's pink corset which was worn for special occasions as well as my own lingerie through the years. And it looks like at least some of it has returned in modified form of course.
