    Well, that's just darned clever. I LOVE IT! Where did you get the idea for lettering with strips of fabric/muslin?

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!)
    I have a small Xacto beside me when I sew, but I've only used it for cutting templates!!! LOL! I would never have thought of Eddie's use.

    For some reason, I can't open the picture. It shows up as a box with a red X in it. Please Help!

    For some reason, I can't own your pictures. They show up as a box with a red X. What can I do?

    Clever way to make a "name thingy" for your wife. Lot of love there , I think.

    I was in my LQS the other day and saw a quilt on display where they had done a scroll down in like this with the muslin, so I just used that idea to actually write a name with it.
