Mamaw-
Thanks for your comments on the transfer eze. I think I bought some of that so will look for it when I'm mucking out my sewing space today (and tomorrow....). I was also thinking of different variations: blueberries, yoyo flowers, star buttons. It looks like I'll get my money out of the purchase. I'd love to make a few as gifts now and just remember where I put them (or gift them early).
I can't wait until the pattern comes. I'm hopeful this will pull me out of my sewing slump!
Thanks again!
