Thanks for all the responses to my question about bias vines and needles. I decided to go with this method, which resulted in 27 yards of bias tubing...lol... I think I'll have enough to, as Bren put it, tube the State of Oklahoma....
I finished the process using this neat tool.
Now just to prove that I can be messy, Nicole has put out a challenge for us to show our messy work tables and to list 15 items on the table. so here's my mess.
1. Packet of Freezer Paper.
2. Press bars.
3. Rotary cutter.
4. 12 inch ruler.
5. 24 inch ruler.
6. 27 yards of bias tubing.
7. Simple Traditions book.
8. Scissors.
9. Water spray bottle.
10. Cutting mat.
11. Note pad.
12 Iron Water jug.
13. Scissor container.
14. Pen and pencil container.
15. Fabric scraps.
Looking at this mess is enough motivation to get in there and clean it up. Plus I can't stand to work surrounded by mess. So once I have the prep work for the last 2 borders and the corner squares done, that's exactly what I'll do this afternoon.
Happy Stitching and thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with me.

Even though I am aware of the bias tubing method, I've never tried it. My table is still in somewhat of a mess although after Abby's lessons were completed a lot of the mess we made was able to be tidied up. Staying on top of that is a never-ending chore.
I agree that it is hard to work when there is a lot of mess but when you are working you can´t avoid getting a "little" mess and that is what I think of your space.
Ahhh Linda - that is nothing. I finally hung my head and took a picture of mine.
Um, Linda? I hate to break it to you -- but, that's not a mess. Really. Trust someone who knows!
That vine will come in handy - just hold on to what you don't use for the next project.
I have a question for you. What are those vines used for? When I took my first quilting class last fall, I started buying up everything I could find relating to quilting when I saw it on clearance somewhere. I bought some of those but have no idea what they are for.
I use bias bars, too. They work nicely. :-)
Can't help but make a mess when you're working on a special project - can't wait to see yours!
Linda , you've seen my mess , you know your table's not as messy as I could make it!! lol
Your table isn't that bad. It's a work in progress. You have been getting some great mail. Enjoy it!
What mess? It doesn't look so bad to me.
I have to agree though that it is easier to work in a clean and tidy workspace.
Ah Linda, hi, I am new on your blog, I have found you somewhere, on another blog, I am sorry I don't remember where....
What mess?? I think it is not mess...But unfortunately mine is messy :( I enojed some post I have already read, and I am sorry you didn't win the sewing machine, that would be another good post!
And wow, lost of parcels during mail! (I love getting letters and parcels.... but did not many on-line shopping till now...)
I was thinking "what mess"......I would be happy for mine to look that "messy".
27 yards!! That is pretty impressive. That certainly will be a lot of vines!
Have fun with it.
27 yards of bias - wow! I'm looking forward to seeing a photo of this project!
Dear Linda your isn't mess all is perfect.
