charlotte nunn said… - Hi yet again, Yvonne - Am sooooo touched by your lovely comments re: my little quilt "They are leaning..."!! Means sooooo much to me - esp. coming from an artist like you!! In answer to your question - ie. what is the little quilt mounted on? - the quilt was sooooo tiny (approx. 12" sq.)(I usu. make quilts of approx. 3' x 4') that I couldn't think whaaaat to do with it!! It was actually my son who suggested I mount it on a frame or a canvas or?? So, I trotted down to "Michael's" (we have that wonderful store in Canada now, too!! For waaaaaaay too many years, we had nothing like it at all!!), bought a 16" x 20" canvas - the kind already mounted on board frames - and then...painted it. Once it was dry, I affixed the wee quilt to it using double-sided carpet tape. I plan to do this again with a pce. I'm working on right now - plan to make a small pce. which I then mount on canvas, I mean - I've made sooooooooo many big-ish quilts and the major problem with them is...how often I'll finish one and...hate the darn thing!! Much more economical and..Hey! GREEN!! - to make TINY things!! If you hate them when they're finished, well...No Big Deal!! Hugs, Charlotte

#503: Flapper Slip-On Evening Dress $16.00 (US dollars)
A typical dropped waist of the Roaring Twenties is created by a yoke over the hips. The tiers of circular flounces form a lovely vision while dancing. The scarf and the tie sash patterns are included. This pattern is quick and easy to make.
This pattern is multi-sized 8 through 20. All the sizes are in one package. Look at our National Standard size chart for your size. Sizes 8-12 require 5 3/8 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric; sizes 14-20 require 5 5/8 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric.

HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme
The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
