    Thanks for the quick work on the Maple Leaf Block, OKsewglad! I have EQ5, but don't have much luck with it, always getting stuff designed, then lose them, or can't find them again. I don't know if the later EQ's are any easier, but I found EQ5 to be very difficult to learn. I also like the 1st block the best.

    I know I have the Aussie flag fabric for mirabelle--but does anyone have an idea I could build on (like the tulip) for Australia. I've been playing with a PP sheep, but don't have all the kinks out. Maybe mirabelle doesn't want to be represented by a sheep. Any ideas there, Sheila?


    I think Australia is also known for kangaroos and camels.

    I love the tulip block for Anael and the second Maple Leaf for QuiltE, I will definitely substitute two blocks for these and there is a Stars and Stripes blocks soon so that is for my US friends. A Sheep???? hmmmm the area I live in is predominantly sugar cane but the tourist area is called the "Great Green Way" and is represented by a green tree frog a Frog????hmmmmm. I might have to look for a PP'd rose

    I love to read the chatter every morning, its like a daily fix.

    Thank you, ladies, for all the great suggestions for the sensory quilt. I like the idea of pockets and some animals (maybe I'll just make tails since I can't applique). I'll check out what the mom wants; I get the idea she just wants something cuddlly for him to hang on to. Thank you--I knew I could count on yinz!

    OK great job with the tulips and maple leaf blocks. I saved some pp animals. Let me check for a frog or kangaroo (if I can remember what I saved them under).

    Yep, he is a cute little 4" frog. I have one if I can lay hands on it..that is bigger, and he is facing you ready to go "Rrrripppppp!" Also have Noah's Ark of pp animals on a CD.

    Oh what a great frog--I should be able to super size (8") him. He can also represent any frog stitching we've all managed to do! Anxious to see what QNS comes up with.

    All o' the residents at the Assisted Living facility are in late stages o' Alzheimer's. Very sad. In the 3 years that DMIL has been there there has only been 2 that weren't in some stage o' dementia. I wish that some o' them could do something crafty. Glenda just wanted the machine ta work in case she needed it. It hasn't worked in over a year.

    Here's I hope a balanced RipIt the Frog in an 8" block. He's just so cute. May not work in Bev's RWB's though, [ATTACH=CONFIG]356966[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]356967[/ATTACH]
