    And charming they were. I just liked the hearts alot.
    Great design.

    Over here in rainy Spokane. We did have an absolutely perfect weekend for my daughter's graduation and now the clouds are back.

    I am envious you get to do your blocks. Sewed some up this am before work, now lunch and will be working on them some more to get them done. I know the last possible date is June 30, but if I read it right, Deb wants them mailed and for her to receive by then. Since she is across the country, better get them out asap.

    Here is a sample block I am playing with. I like it, but wanted to be sure the leaves were not to large. What do you think?

    WOW, when you look at it this way, the leaves are to heavy, I think cut them down to just one leaf might be the trick instead of doing triple. Can we only do one leaf or two leaves per block instead of all four corners?

    Sample on leaves.

    I love it, and only wish I had thought of it. I think it is great. I will probably steal it for my next set......oh wait a minute, Christmas in July there won't need to be leaves on the winter ones.......hehehehe

    If you are asking for opinions, I like "whacked leaf" best.

    I am not sure why your PO doesn't have a flat rate stamp. Perhaps they know it by another name....how about just asking for a $4.95 stamp and see what they come up with. I have not heard of such a thing.....we don't have that stamp. It isn't like it is a special order or anything.....
