Oh, QuiltE, it would be nice to have a 'staples' handy to copy things, but in the middle of nowhere, that is somewhere far from the convenience of the cities, we make do and do what we can. I have never loved paper piecing, but dh has so hope I can get him involved with it....he has to 'change' everything and put his stamp on it, which is not always a good thing. And ends up costing us more $$$$$. He has acquired the way to really push my buttons of panic!! Life is never boring here. Never is it with dd right now, since her dh is away on a business trip, she is Mom and Dad to their five year old boy. He took a kite string from the kitchen back door up stairs and back again while she had company for an hour this morning. Yep, just like his dgf.
