Thanks Cindy for putting up the pics. Thanks Cjoyce The Marroon goes great with the center. Cindy I don't know what your vision is??? You'll have to show me when it is done. I can't imagine what it will look like. If those are your choices, I think the left one is the better of the choices. I think the Hawaii print is too blue. Maybe let it talk to you again!! You might get a new vision. What ever you choose.

Then I went out and bought a book on borders and auditioned yet a third version and again it did not work with the drama of your center. Alas, I had to accept that the fact that a more exciting border would have to come later as the beauty of your center was completely over shadowed with my futile attempts to complement it with borders that were just too busy and frankly, looked awful. I hope you don't hate the plain border too much.

absolutely NOT!!! I love it!!!! You are right, It is a drama type center. You made the right choice. The center is a very rich looking center and you made it richer by using the wine. I'm sorry you had to spend so much money!!?? I should have made a more simple center so people could have had more choices. But I really do LOVE IT. Thank you Joyce

Cindy, I'm sure you get tired of all the snow & cold --- but sorry sweetie, you can't go tropical until after all the gifts are under the tree! And I'm counting on Santa a LOT this year - so please don't disappoint! :-(

(But you might want to disappoint Andrea - brownies to the reindeer??? what WAS she thinking?? And you having to clean up all that poop...poor thing! :-(

Ya know I don't think she was thinking.Are you doing the SS?It has been a hoot at that site,if anyone thinks I have lost my mind go to the Secret Santa site and my comments will make sense.My sewing machine started acting up last night so I have to take it in today.I am so mad I could spit nails.I have a million projects going right now so it is not the time for it to be messing up.So off to the shop we go....

Not doing the SS, but am doing the Santa block swap - a little antsy about it, I've seen a few I like...
I'm sorry your machine is acting up :thumbdown: To me there's not much worse than when the equipment we need & depend on fails us! - like sewing machines, dishwashers & vehicles!! I'll say a quick prayer that whatever your machine's problem is, that it isn't expensive! Those repairs can shock the c--- right out of you! (speaking of cleaning up... :wink: )
