    thanks. I also love the puzzle quilt. When i first saw it in a magazine, it was an eye spy. Very easy to do.

    OK, I see a few "eyelashes" on the darling puzle quilt, very good! I really like your collie! Over all a great job!

    I sure am glad that I am not your mom, I would hate to push you around in a wheelchair for the rest of MY life because you fell down the first time you tried to walk.

    You did a great job on both! Keep on going!

    That looks like a very hard pp to do. The one I tried was hard enough and it didn't work out. I will have to keep trying. Yours looks amazing.

    So pam, now's not a good time to tell you i'm in a wheelchair then??
    Just kidding, but I have been a couple of times. I get the message, I should do more, but I jsust didn't enjoy it much.
    I do keep at it every now and then, but the eyelashes are too much, so I rip it out and SID.

    Hey, we all have our "thing" in the quilting world. I also would be happy to not have to do FMQ...but I do it on small things so I can afford to have the big things sent out. I love the puzzle quilt.
