Absolutely sewbiz, I might have to live homeless b/c of the cost of living, but at least I would be warm and homeless!

You must have one amazing husband to lure you away from Maui, b/c I can guarantee you there is no man that I'd leave somewhere tropical for!!!!!

Such a creative block Seesaw with the adorable bonnet! Love it.

Here is my block for Moonrise. The color's seem a little different in the photo, but you get the idea.

We met on Maui and got married there, so it was a mutual decision.... but we have often regretted it.

Jaba, I am unclear on your thinking about white fabric w/ your fabric? I think all my yellows are to bright, but I will check again to make sure.

Love it, Seasaw, love it. Roflol abt your story of this block's birth. Too funny. I'm going to use green in my sashing a and I prefer it not be in the block too. Thank you for this. I tip my bonnet to you!

LOL So how am I to put a frog in there without using green. A brown frog would look to much like a toad and they are ugly, they pee on you and give you warts, then I thought well how about a turtle? That idea was shot also because they are greenish too. SO I throw in my hat and thought it's this or nothing. Hope you enjoy my hat!!!!

My brain got a work out on this one so I'm going to take a few days off and let the blood settle back in.

One of the reasons we live in this part of Oregon is that we get 350 days a year of sunshine. We get 20 inches of rain,20 inches of snow,the summers have about 3-4 weeks of 90-100 degrees. We live 80 miles away from Portlabd...so minimal traffic. Ya gotta like the sticks!

I finished LJDugas' ballerina block today. It was a battle to the death, nearly mine! If I do this block again it will not have a one piece center, I think w/o that whole center the block would have been easier. I am disappointed w/ how it turned out. It is a variation of wedding ring block. I didn't end up using the white background like I thought about, b/c I found that amazing grey ombe'd fabric, so I made the background pink.
