Originally posted by "Jdeluka" post=130956Who says quilting isn't a dangerous hobby!
I took a short break from my wedding star quilt this weekend. We are visiting family for a birthday party next week and I wanted to have some hand work to occupy my time in the car. I decided to prepare some pieces for an applique quilt I've been wanting to tackle and decided to use the freezer paper template method rather than attempting needle turn just yet. While using my mini iron to prepare the pieces I managed to knock the iron stand over...onto my hand...after the iron had been sitting on the wire portion of the stand for about 10 minutes getting nice and hot :S I now have a beautiful third degree burn on my middle finger...Thanks to a lot of cold water and some quick first aid I managed to prevent the burn from spreading further than where the metal touched skin, but DANG! :blink: There is now a cloud of foul words hanging in the atmosphere above my sewing room that may take some time to disperse.
I'll recover, no permanent damage done (except a scar to add to my collection) but I had to share my bone-headed move with others that would understand. I'll need to clean the foul mood out of my sewing room with some positive quilting vibes this week - think I can convince the husband to let me return to unsupervised quilting :P

Judith, your detailed pictures give a nice visual of the process of creating the arcs. I did not know about the ruler. I can see how a person could use it to create their own paper pattern. However, as has been mentioned before, the first really major step is the fabric selection. Excellent advice was given to solve that issue.
Oh Jdeluka! I have a love/hate relationship with my mini iron. I burned a nasty hole in my large cutting mat. I was so involved fussing with my appliqué pieces I failed to notice the iron had fallen off it's stand. I came very close to a real fire! Who knew that applique was dangerous? Sending healing thoughts and happier sewing days ahead.

Playing catchup this morning!
Geneva, congratulations! Very interesting design and finishing details. I enjoyed studying it.
Luann, I like your dyed pieces. While not the brightest they are interesting. I really have to make time to fold and squirt dye!
Tribblemom, your work shows there are so many interesting ways to add color to fabric. I had not thought about using Saran wrap bunched up. I did do that technique to create a background for a border while painting a room.
Such wonderful ideas and inspiration. Ya'll just make me smile!

Judith,
Thanks for the pictures. I had read the email that comes but pictures don't show unless I'm on the site. So, I was quite bewildered, UNTIL, I came here and could see those pictures. I never thought about string piecing when doing paper piecing, it could sure save a lot of time. It would also be so handy for when you are doing a considerable number of the exact same piece. Like the 'amazing spiral' table topper that has been on the "someday" project list. This will likely be a technique to add to one of my virtual retreat days!
Thank you so much.
Luann

Here it is - my new wall full of storage
there is even some unfilled space behind the chicken piehmy: By the way, to hang my CW quilt, I used some stick up magnetic strip across the top of the unit and a second piece inside the hanging sleeve. It is working fine (unless I want to get to the top shelf, then I have to take it down). I am planning to continue the magnetic strip right across the top, and then it will be easy to re-arrange and to hang light things up, to cover the files etc
Jdeluka, sorry to hear of your misadventure with your iron. The worst ironing accident I ever had was when I was ironing a blouse on a folded towel on the floor and I caught my thigh with the ironops: Least I ddn't melt the carpet though :whistle:

So far there is no fabric in the wall units, it is all books, magazines, office bumf and a couple of boxes with embroidery threads/kits and a box of lativian gloves kit & knitting needles. However the postal box to the right of the mirror does contain my scraps that I am attempting to get cut into strips for crumb strip piecing. Oh yes, and behind the yellow hexi muggie from Lois is my thimble making work box & thimble books from Japan. Nearly all of my quilting fabrics are either in plastic boxes on the other side of the room or in a large shopper that lives at the bottom of the airing cupboard unless it has been hauled out for use. Dressmaking fabrics are slightly under less control :whistle:
The window to this room faces east, and these units are facing south, so I will need coverings should I store fabrics on them, because we don't always remember to close the curtains.

Thank you all for your thoughts and well wishes. The nice part about it is the burn isn't painful - because it was so deep. The bad part is it will probably take a month or more to heal :blush: I just have to watch closely for infection and try to keep it out of water
Judith - I've heard of others using a coffee cup as you describe, but I was so worried the iron would be too top heavy. I tried it with a cool iron once and it just seemed too unstable. I liked that the stand kept it low to the table and I figured the worst that would happen is I would scorch my table - guess I was wrong!
Lois - I really like the crock idea...mabey I can find a ceramic flower pot at the craft store next time I visit.

Rosemary,
Your wall storage units look great.
My fabric is stored in bookcases. I was concerned that the fabric might fade from the daylight bulbs in the ceiling. I bought some blackout drapery lining. I installed inexpensive cafe-curtain tension rods in the top of the bookcase, and made a blackout curtain to cover the bookcase, covering the fabric. My plan was to make nice fabric draperies to cover the blackout lining, but I haven't done that yet.
I learned a new word. Bumf.
