Thanks for the recommendations on good seam rippers. I will be checking them out.

I buy seam rippers in multiples. I always seem to drop them and my dog is right there to chew on it. I also keep seam rippers where I use them so I don't have to get it from my sewing room when I need to rip on the couch while I'm watching TV. Always forget where I last left it. :D

love your quilt. Have kit for one that I bought about 5 years ago. Just haven't gotten to it Hopefully soon

Love your Bargello.........love the colors. I love doing Bargello's as they are like putting puzzles together!! You mentioned a free bargello design program, do you have a link or name?

Dina, I'm loving your bargello quilt!! I love the "optical illusion" types of quilts, but alas! hubby does not - he says they mess with his eyes!! :D

I'm going to have to go to that Bargello website and play anyway!

I like the blue handled Ditz seam rippers--cheap so I can replace often, and I like that the handle is not round so it's rolling away and it's easy to hold (handle big enough too hold easily). Like several of you, I buy several at the same time and put all the places I need them--which is everywhere I sew!

Sure! Here it is. I have never used a design program before, and I am still learning a lot about it, but it has been fun.
