It kind of bothers me when I have an animal print and I cut the head off. :)

Has anyone seen the things you can make with the selvages? I saw a teddy bear and he was really cute. Someone makes them to sell, but I bet you could use the strips for other things. just a thought...

I couple of years ago I made a quilt with doggie fabrics. You should have seen me wincing as I cut of feet and ears. I understand.

At least I don't apoligize when I sew through one!!!! LOL

I'd only start worrying when the printed bugs talk back to you!! :P

You made me laugh! I killed a real spider tonight after I found it crawling in my lace curtains. It was black and furry! Yuck! I wish the spiders would stay outside. It's been in the 90's today and I have my a/c running....maybe he/she wanted to cool off. Well, it is certainly cold now! LOL
