    Roxannebcb, your work is beautiful. I have Sue Spargo's Folk Art Dreams. I made a friend a table topper using her blocks. It turned out beautiful.
    How has your wool work been coming along? I just got back from a 2 day class with Sue Spargo in Spokane, WA. It was amazing.

    Please let me know if you think I can improve on these.
    OMG I love your blocks - the thimble is darling!

    For the thimble. Do you think I should add some french knots to the top for the indentations of a thimble?
