WOW! some great stuff! :D most recently I found some hand embroidered and hand pieced items :D I wish I knew the stories behind them :D

do you want a half-finished cross stitch picture? he he!

I LOVE cross stitch ;)

I'm serious-would you like it, cuz i"m probably going to pitch it. when i get home, I'll post a picture of it and send it to you. if you truly want it, i'll send it to you and the pattern to.

It sounds to me like it was made by you!!! You are, after all, the one who pieced it together! You don't acknowledge everyone who had a hand in the making of the fabric and all that.....it is made by you.....

Very well said!

Now that quilt top is definitely worth cheating for.

There are very extensive quanties of "Buy it Now".. and not all prices are overly out of a poor persons fabric budget. Let's face it, if I buy one less package of Chicken thighs I could buy a lovely package of pre-made blocks that would be a type of which I really wouldn't want to put in the time or energy... Of course that does interfere with dinner time on occasion, but I do vaguely remember that famious comment about "let them eat cake".. and if you toss a vegable in with it, heck there's dinner and the stack of pre-made blocks...
