[QUOTE=actually my inspiration came from my grandmothers old old cutting board that was shaped like a pig. ...- I've only ever done applique three other times. Let's hope that Pig does okay at the fair. Brain is spinning with ideas "Pig Tales"[/QUOTE]
Even better. Best of luck at the fair!
"Pig Tales" or 'Pig Tails'?

I love the Pig block, I used to have my kitchen done up in Pigs and Ivy, had pigs all over my kitchen... So what is an Angel Package?
Dr Appt yesterday confirmed "NO broken Bones" Which is a good thing and a bad thing! Sometimes damaged Muscles and Ligaments take longer to heal. But the good new is I am free to sew! I just have to do light projects, no lifting over 5 lbs! My left hand(I am left handed) is better than my right, I can take off the brace on my left hand but have to keep the right one on.
They made an appt. with the Bone Dr(I never get that name right, alway call him the eye dr.), and chances are I will have trouble with Arthritic hands as I get older! Not good news for a seamstress!
OK, back to good news, my Amish DQ is going to be so cute... oops wrong thread!
Happy Days ladies

Marybeth, a Angel package is what is sent by one of Lori's special Angels to someone that didn't recieve her swap package from her original partner for whatever reason. I have been a angel a couple times and I have recieved once.It's nice to have been on both sides of it. Mary

I don't know what to say. You have all been so kind and generous with your comments about my paintings. SharonAnne, thanks for helping others find me. I have always painted to give away, just like my quilts. I was to "no more giving paintings away." Maybe I will finally realize that maybe they are good enough when I get paid for one. LOL
Have all of us received our packages or do we still have folks on the bench?

It was my pleasure. Your paintings need to be shared - they are THAT good. Sorry for not responding sooner - I have not been notified on email of comments to me. And I have been on Aug, thinking July was pretty much over. Glad I decided to take a peek. Good luck and let us know the outcome of the showing. This is weird - I tried to post quick reply and it said it was too short (THAT HAS to be a first because I never know when to shut up). lol.

Can't wait to see what your mind is conjuring up.. A mystery, a romance, a "how to", a picture book, a pattern book? Whatever it is, if you autograph it, I'll take a copy or two!! What is the ETA - maybe a year? I assume you will self-publish with Amazon or the like?

No self-publishing for me. Too much work!

Hey all - I've been working on this block for the past week - it is actually my own design - had a dickens of a time with trial and error and my practice block went together beautifully and when it came time to so the final block for fair competition my machine started acting up - threw off my 1/4" and thus the need for the narrow border - maybe my secret pal for august will get my trial block that actually is much better.
