    I am going to make some of those with the scraps leftover from my current WIP. That would make such cute stocking stuffers. Thank you MJ! You are a compendium of information tonight! I LOVE IT!!
    Use batting scraps instead of interfacing...cheaper!

    Okay, these would sell fast, especially if you had a glitter pen or something like it to personalize them...

    I figured it out!!! I am able to export my images of the quilts I have been designing into .jpegs.

    Here is the one I have been working on this weekend. I am not using blue print fabric but it was closer to the one I am using. But I will be doing the sashing in a red print and a cream on cream fabric. Please let me know what you think!!!

    must you so publicly expose all my foolishness? you're talking about donating the extra flesh as skin grafts. in 1986ish, there was a huge crash at dallas airport and they were looking for skin graft donations for all the burn victims. i had lost a lot of weight and had REALLY flabby thighs, so i called and offered them. well, they came onto the radio and tv and said that they'd just had an offer of extra flesh but it had to be from cadavers, no live donations. the whole office was laughing at me! SOOOOOO embarrassing!

    mj- does that make it a good dr's appointment?
    missy- love the quilt, i wear a queensize, can't wait to see all the clever things you make to sell
    cindy- have a great vacay! looks like i'll be in dallas the first week in august. anyone else going to be there? would love to have a get together at a cheap mexican restaurant! ole"!

    Missy: I love your quilt. Please make sure to post a picture of the finished result. Nancia--you are hysterical. I love your sense of humor. Thanks for making me laugh. You do know that laughter is the best medicine.
