TASTER: Recycling Mens Ties with Valerie Nesbitt
FREE Tasters (Quilting) • Educational, G, 01-Jun-2018
Such a great idea to re-use ties to make quilts. You need to make some preparation in the form of unpicking the ties, washing them and then giving them a gentle press. But you can make it easily in some evening when you feel you don't want to be completely idle.
The Soak product should be readily available through your local quilt shop. And is a very useful to have for any of those precious hand-wash items, without rinsing and sticky residue. If you can`t find them local, you can contact Creative Quilting for more information by clicking here.
Hilary Davis of Colchester Essex shared this idea with us. 'Recycled Neckties' was the largest piece in her Textiles Show at The NazeTower, Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex Summer Exhibition, which ran 26 June to 5 September 2010.
