Thanks for all the comments on Pig - starshine I didn't even think about it being spamtown - funny; actually my inspiration came from my grandmothers old old cutting board that was shaped like a pig. I traced the outline, took it to work and shrunk in down on the copier until it was the right size and appliqued to the block - I've only ever done applique three other times. Let's hope that Pig does okay at the fair. Brain is spinning with ideas "Pig Tales"
