"Power Pinners Will Be Blocked! Power pinning causes boards to slow down & freeze. You are not the only one pinning from any given board at any given time. Power pinners are people who pin 10 - 20 - 30 + pins in a matter of minutes, causing boards to slow down & freeze. Be respectful. IF YOU FREEZE MY BOARDS WHILE I AM WORKING ON THEM, I WILL BLOCK YOU.

AFRICAN GOLD PRINTS. When a design in metallic ink is rolled over the top of a printed or solid colored fabric a GOLD PRINT is the result. Sometimes the gold design is tied in with the images or design on the cloth, sometimes not. The “gold” is a metallic material suspended in a petroleum base, thus it can be abraded away with heavy use. The metallic material may oxidize over time and may lose its sheen.

Graveyard Quilts such as this Kentucky Coffin Quilt made by Elizabeth Mitchell in the mid 1800's show the center of the quilt, designed and embroidered to depict a graveyard. Coffins with names on paper attached are appliqued into the cemetery. Coffins with blank paper are basted on the outer border, possibly waiting to be moved into the graveyard when someone else she cared about died.
