Quilting, crocheting and knitting

Uncategorized 1 Comment

Let's play preschool ala Sesame Street, to the tune of “One of these things is not like the others?”


Here are the lyrics, in case you forgot them:

One of these things is not like the others,

 

One of these things just doesn't belong,

 

Can you tell which thing is not like the others

 

By the time I finish my song?

Note to Mr. Posso,
Quilts are not KNITTED!  Knitting is done with yarn.  Quilts are made out of fabric, sewn together and either hand or machine quilted.  Please see the link below for examples of what quilts are.  I’m sure the New England Quilting Guild will be in contact with you!
