Thanks for the tip, Honchey. I used it and did look at some of the threads, but with all the text it was time consuming for me to find the pictures. It's sorta hard not to start reading it all. :-) Such friendly people, such interesting chat...
Bev, do you can your doves? My aunt used to fry squirrels she shot, but I've never had a dove. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your progress. I like the Compass patterns. I've saved some New York Beauty patterns, which are on the back burner (pretty far back).
Rosy! I haven't seen that pattern. Very nice! I like the flowers cut just so, cute! And you chose a watery, sea batik for the basket! Who would've thought! :-) (Well, it looks like sea creatures and bubbles to me, anyway, don't know if it is or not)
