so much easier to type than your board nick, lol!
When I bought my flosses there were only so many of the color, so I bought another that was close, so I could do what your doing. Put them together and let them complement each other.
Now your going to have me looking up those numbers. Cats may be curious...but so are some mice! :XD:

BTW, I have always loved Gus Gus from Cinderella. :-D

I think it'll be fun to see how you all are working on this, wanna share?

Oh my goodness Candi, you are sooo organized---you put me to shame!
I can't post pictures because I work on one block at a time. Well, sorta. I did all the applique on my first 17 blocks and didnt do all the embroidery. Those I'm saving to take with me on vacation. I precut all my background squares, but that is all the prep work I did. congratulations on your plan and follow through. (I bet your cupboards are tidy too aren't they?)

Because I am doing machine applique and bobbin work on my blocks, I am finding it easier to finish one stage for a group of blocks at a time. Because every time I switch between applique and bobbin work, I am having to change needles, thread and machine settings..well you get the picture. This way, I have 7 blocks with bobbin work done, I can just leave the machine alone for a while.
And why, my cupboards are tidy, lol. You know they say A messy room is a sign of creativity, I must have none, because I absolutely can't function in a cluttered environment...i drive myself crazy,lol, it is a disease I think, lol
