    Yes embellishments are great! You can go back and read the first post and you will see all the rules. Basically if it is quilting you can use it. There have been several that have used embellishments. Mine aren't very little girlish either. Would love to have you join us!

    Yeah -- I could do a BIG basketball block :lol: :lol: Basketball playoffs are called "Hoosier Hysteria" around here... And yes, Brown County is beautiful but not very close to me at all....Thanks for the ideas! :D
    Sewjoyce.. I just pm'd you... partner!!
    And I would also love anything to do with Larry Bird, basketball, Brown County... I just got back from there about 2 hrs ago... we have friends that live in Indy that have a cabin in Br. Co... it snowed about 2 inches and we got to drive home (very slowly) in it. Lots of slide offs, etc. but we are home safe now.. Indiana weather, if you don't like it, just stay a day or 2 lol (it will change).
    I'm sooo excited about this swap!
    hugs,
    Fannie

    I'd also thought of Lincoln and the fact that he grew up in IN. I would have done a take off on that fact and made a bed with a sign above that said 'Lincoln slept here!' :lol: :lol:
    If you think of fun ways to show things, it might be easier. There are Amish in the southern part of IN, you could do something along that theme.
    Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!
    Hey Sewjoyce.. just reading some of the posts here.. I love anything Amish!!! LOLOL.

    We also have Indiana downs, Hoosier Park( and Ellis Park-close to Evansville) and guess what??? we raise and race Thoroughbred horses.

    ;)
    From one Ellen to another, you must really be a great person to know...:-) I never liked my name as a kid, but as I got older and realized that I was the only "Ellen" in the room, I became thankful that my mother gave me what I call an "old fashioned" name (my grandmothers middle). I hate to tell you but I have already finished my top....I'm glad that you're from Colorado and hope you appreciate what I did and like it. This is my second swap, so I'm not sure if we are supposed to "consult" with a partner to see what their favorite colors are, etc. or just "go for it". I still have to quilt it so don't hold your breath that you will get it very soon....I will keep you in suspense for awhile. :-) Ellen1
