Oh heck, I was soo excited, but no..thats not it. Its a teeny tiny check. Elle, it only has that # on it...no other and no, its not a flannel.
I called the store where I got it today and she told me that the odds of me getting some more was "slim to none"...but she will try to help me find some. So...if anyone runs across it...please let me know! I'd just like to have a little more for "insurance" purposes..you know how that rotary cutter can accidently slip!
Thanks for your help!
Lynnie..welcome! Your brights sound great!

I think the stronger colors when placed in the right spots will really make it zing! At least thats what I'm hoping. I am pulling fabs now for a block...its hard!!!! (she whines!)
If any of you are interested, I posted a tute for the trapunto technique that I used on my Chocolate Jane. Here is the link:

Welcome LynneK, you have the bug then like the rest of us.
don´t worry there will be loads of help here and what one doesn´t know someone else sure will.
Patti just posted a super Tute on Trapunto, which I have never done and it looks really good to do, so will give that a try on my AOTH

I am glad I am not the only one that found it hard to pull fabs for the blocks, but I thought it was because I had lemon background. I may change that, I know I am dithering... but a gal can if she wants right ?

I was going to do 7", but am considering 7 1/2", 7 3/4" or 8". Can't decide. Because I'm going to do QAYG, I haven't couched the thread yet. Will do it when I quilt. HOWEVER, since I am QAYGing it, I may do bobbin work instead. That is how I have done the Razzle Dazzle before. Couching will be a new adventure.
I hope to have the tute ready by this evening. Taking a boat-load of pics for it, so will need to decide which ones will work & write the text. I need a new camera. I don't think this one takes the best pics, even with the pixels raised up high. It's a Sony & is at least 5 years old & maybe more - I can't remember when I bought it. Paid $379.00 for it, though! It uses a 3.5" floppy for pic storage. We had another one & the power cord went. Wasn't going to spend $60.00 for the cord, so bought a new camera. The prices sure have come down since then!!!
OK, you all can go back to dithering & I'll get back to AOTHing.
