Izy...he just loves the work that you ladies in Spain do. He told me when I go to visit to bring an empty suitcase so I can take home the quilts. lol
He loves all the quilts I show him and I show him pretty much all of them..that is when he is home. If he's not here, well suffice to say, he doesn't get to see any. lol I show him pics of the pets, people, quilts, countryside...everything. He loves them
But he's soo amazed by how small those blocks are. He asked me if I could make them. I said sure, but they won't look as good as yours! :) :)[/quote]
I have an update on the Embroidery you so love I am just going to post it so you can drool and no it isnīt finished yet but not much further to go.

:D :D :D Terri, mention to Bill that you can do these by hand, you could make up a little project for him to take to sea in his kit bag, for those long lonely nights....... :roll:
Please thank him for his patience at checking out all our work, he is a VERY tolerant guy by the sounds of it..I DO show John the lovely quilts on the board and he will come over and he DOES look and then says.......... 'thats nice'.......but he has a glazed look on his face most of the time :? :roll: :lol: maybe it's 'cos there's football on the telly at the time :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am totally blown away with what you have created using scraps. Great inspiration for me. This is going to be a quilt with stunning interest. If you want I will send an address so you can mail them to me. Ha!

Izy, for Bill to sew, it would take a HUGE bit of convincing.
Right now I'm taking a break from sewing patches on some "poopie suits and steamer". He told a couple guys on board that I could do them for them. UGH! It's a good thing I like these 2 guys, but they owe me BIG time! lol

Izy, those are just amazing, I have been saving pretty much all my scraps also. But I think that they have your name on them for I wouldn't do justice to them. Let me know what sizes you take. I wouldn't want to send anything to small. And if I keep them they would probably end up in a dog bed for stuffing or something.
I just love looking at yours and Elle threads.

They are FINALLY done! These 2 guys have been versed that they will die if they tell ANYONE who did this for them. I don't usually do patches on any sort of uniforms, but this was/is a special occasion, so since I really like these guys, I was nice.....:) :)

The great thing about getting everyone's scraps is it gives me so much variety, it really gives me such a buzz using up all these teeny tiny scraps :D
Have you looked at the crazy patch blocks that started me off with gathering everybodys scraps...here have a look if you missed it :D
