    this is what I had in mind.....just a thought, with the fishbowl actually being inverted and spring flowers or butterflies or something spring in the bowl.....more to come on that as I get it fine tuned. What do you all think?

    Oh goodness that looks crazy fun!!!! I'm liking the butterfly idea or whatever you pick. I have never done it. So I get to be nervous about it. (note to self…sign up for ONE set)

    Love you deb!!! Super excited to get my gardens of poinsettias.

It is one that will be very simple or you may step it up a bit to get you out of your comfort zone.

    YIPPEE Blocks coming

    Sharon, this is where the blocks can be simple, or outside your comfort zone. The fishbowl - which will in fact be more like a snowball can be done just as it is - making 12 of them, and those who want to extend themselves can do the entire block set, making only 6 or maybe 9. The sizes of the finished piece will vary, as you may want to finish them a little differently. Since the blocks are larger, some may be used for wall hangings instead. Oh.....you are making me get way ahead of myself......Sharon, you little bugger....

    Looks great! I might be interested depending on what you want in the bowl. Hopefully it is something I would have most of the fabric for to do it.
