Is this like a swap? Is there a place I can sign up? I think this sounds like a nice fun idea. Is it like a secret santa thing but all year round?
Details, details please! :)

Pictures are posted under Robert and Cathy's comfort quilts. People send blocks from all over the world and a great man named Stuart in Flordia put them together and longarmed them. So that's why I call them " Angels". Welcome to the board.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QWs4d-HBEg[/quote] That was amazing for community theatre. A real Irish Tenor. Great Job. Here are a couple of some of the costumes I made 20 years ago in LA, My Fair Lady was at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion and the King and I was at the Shrine Auditorium. I'll try and dig out the archives and scan a few more. I did the ascot scene costumes for My Fair Lady and "Miss Leanora" gowns and the Children's costumes for the king and I.
My fair lady at the Dorthy Chandler Liza's Acsot the little white balls on her bodice and arms and around her hat were the balls from the ball fringe you buy at the fabric store.
