What an awesome idea!!! You are a very thoughtful husband :D :D :D
I can see the requests coming in from the other teachers....a sideline to increase your stash, maybe :wink: 8)

You can buy the chenille already prepared to sew to your project by the yard and in several different colors. Try fabriccafe.com to see what I mean....

See!!! This is why I am soooo glad to have gentlemen like you on the quilting board. You bring so much to the table!! First, I LOVE your name thingy, it is totally awesome! Second, I do believe it would take a man's way of looking at things to bring an xacto knife in as a quilting tool!! ROCK ON EDDIE! I would have never thought of such an ingenious way to make a name. You all are a great family; and such a lucky wife and daughter you have dear sir.
(No offense to any ladies that have thought of Xacto's as quilting tools before, just saying I personally would have never thought of using one with fabric!)
