I cut 6 pieces of fabric that were identical. Fussy cutting is so tedious, I'm not a fan especially if I need many pieces but I made sure each of my 8" X 17" pieces of fabric were identical. I have enough strips left I could probably do it at least one more time. The repeat on this fabric was like 15 inches (10-12" is better! ) gonna start carrying a ruler. But I just loved it so it didn't matter and it was on clearance! I thought they came out pretty good for printing and not fussy cutting. Inklingo makes my sewing life so much less complicated!

Are you the driver or do you take hand work to do while riding?

I can drive the truck (with the fifth wheel and car behind it) but DH likes to. Haven't been able to do any handwork in the truck but I can read - and keep watch on his driving!
Thanks for the info - will have to try it when we get settled again.

my introduction to America 30 yrs ago when we came to meet my aunty a war bride was when we saw a dead scink or scunk some think like that she told us not to touch it or she would have to burn our clothes

R-sea OMG what a way to get introduced to America. skunks are an animal I see all the time here in Tennessee and I make sure to give them a lot of space because if they feel threatened they will spray you and It is very hard to get the smell off of you let alone try to get the smell out of clothes, Yes burn them.

That explains it, I'm in Florida for the winter. I sent Rhonda the Florida address to mail to so not sure how you got my Wyoming address but I'll get it eventually. Our house sitter hasn't said anything about one arriving yet but we will be home next week and then I'll know. We should be home around the 10th of April.
