JanRN ... it's definitely antiquey, and so rich looking. Perfect for a farm house!
Lucky Office Manager to be a recipient of your generosity. And to boot ... does not scream Christmas, so she can use it all year long!
JeanieG and JanRN ... me too! The only applique I have done are the two blocks in FWS! I'm going to at least give applique a try and see how it goes.
CarrieM ... nice that you all share the cooking at your Mom's! Definitely your carrot casserole .... I really liked it!
