Doh..oh darn I didnt realize it was past the 27th nevermind I will have to wait for the next one.

Jenniky-- You still have plenty of time! April 27th is a ways away! ;)

Silly me! I was a little mixed up yesterday. I had to have my daughter drive me into Chicago for a Dr. appt for my hip and it is always distressing for me to go into Chicago traffic and all the people.. Lets just say for me its just SCARY! So now that I am straight with the dates you can count me in. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Glad to have you join us Jenniky! :)

You go Jenniky. So glad you are joining in the fun. I will have to see if I have more time this month to do two instead of just the one. I make these baseball pin cushions that are fun. Will try to see if I can get it done.

I have a piece of material I rescued from a bag of rags at a yard sale. I think this is the perfect opportunity for it to find its place in this world. :) :)

count me in, i love pincushions
