    Thanks Jane. On the birdie bellies I asked my granddaughters (4 and 6) how they thought I should embroider them. Blue with white stars and red with white stripes were their directions. I just used an embroidered satin stitch. It took a minute, but was fairly easy. The funny part is, when I finished all the embroidery and showed them, the 6 yr old asked what those crossed sticks were in the birdie beaks....sparklers! OHHHH. She said.

    Too funny! Don't take it as a reflection of your embroidery skills.... A lot of today's kids have never played with sparklers. Your satin stitches are beautiful and perfect.

    sunrise450, I hope your hubby continues to recover nicely. You just never realize how much you take good health for granted until you don't have it!

    Congrats travelingramma. So nice to have all those candies and not have to do the cutting. LOL
    dj, that is so thoughtful of you. Such a great gift.

    Sunrise450, glad to hear hubby is doing well. Best wishes for continued good news.

    Travelinggramma, congratulations!
    DJ, you're the best.

    SherriR, love your R/W/B birdie block. Didn't realize it was "Texas" until DJ mentioned it and I went back to look.
