    I use those color catchers also. But, I wash almost all my fabric. I don't wash fabric if I'm doing an OBW.

    OK ... slow reader -but saw old posting re Best Press - do you know that Jo-anns has this stuff on sale on a regular basis - $29 a gallon. If you spend $50 shipping [which is high for tis heavy product] is free - I always get a few friends together and we each by a gallon. I only need it once a year but sure saves bundles!!

    That's not "cheating", that's being very smart and conserving energy.
    Oh, I'm an expert at conserving energy! :wink: I'll do anything to save time - more time for sewing/shopping!

    I AM going to Albuquerque. Our Vet came through for us - they are wonderful. Dufus is at the Double J Dude Ranch as I type, being spoiled rotten (if that's even possible!) They all fuss over him from the time he gets there until we pick him up. He loves going to the Vet! :? His name IS Dufus!

    Going to travel up I-25 a bit to Corrales right on the edge of ALB. to a sweet shop called Quilts Ole. The editor who interviewed me said that is her favorite quilt shop, so I "have" to check it out. I need to replenish my batiks as I used up most of my pinks & purples on AOTH.

So i am ready to start cutting out my pieces for this block, which i am still going to needle turn.

    Have fun on your trip, Kathy. It's a dream of mine to go to Albuquerque. Maybe someday when we're down in Arizona we'll get down there.
