    Dear Patti,
    OOoooops - yep heard that too! been a while since I had to deal with road apples though! LOL!
    I have to tell you that I have laughed and laughed over this swap!
    It almost sounds as if there is going to be an acre of different Funky Farm blocks!
    ...from asses to yaks! ....see what I mean? LOL!
    Jeannie
    Ps
    Maybe rent a barn and put them all up on it on clotheslines and take a picture before you send them off?

    This weekend, my DH just complained about the backyard looking like a farm. I tried to explain to him that I was gardening, not farming. Told him that if I added a cow, pig, chickens, sheep, got a plow, that he could call it a farm. Little does he realize that I am working on doing a funky farm quilt. Won't he be surprised. He actually enjoyed the funky chicken quilt that was done.

    Well, your quilt is going to be awesome... the haystack is great. Maybe a bigger needle with the eyelash yarn would help?

    i used a hugh needle, what would have helped would have been to wait for daylight ...i'm tooooo stubbornto wait when i get an idea, if i wake up at 4 am with an idea, i gotta go do it. i used an h i think , pretty large. but that stuff is a bugger anyway. thanks for noticing it, Fox.
