    I did a bad thing last night. I had to go and get a new bobbin case for my sewing machine, been using the same one for seven years now new one was in order, but then I just had to paruse the fabric selection and found this "hunky man" fabric which reminded me of my husband so I bought it to share. Do you mind terribly if I made some blocks with it? You know the men in our life are our favorite thing, at least in my house he is because he is the only one besides the dog. We have five daughters and no boys so he is spoiled. Let me know if that is ok. They are construction men. yes, they are in jeans, did not buy the one wher ethey were in their shorts. And they are wearing construction hats, just no shirts. If to much flesh, let me know, I will make a pillow case for my daughter otherwise with it. I just thought would be the "funky" for this swap. Id di also buy some dear ladiy fabric that I will piece a border around that will be cute as well. Just had to look didn't I.

    I love florals. I saw that design. I was considering putting it on my Mother's Day Cards, but didn't know how it would stitch on vellum. Love it here!!!!!!

    What about the green fabric?
    Should I change it?
    The block measures 9.5"

    Far be it from me if this is what you want to share with the group quiltermomma. I come from a different point of view, but, hey, to each his own.
