These paint sticks were developed for fabric. You use a raised object (a stamp) behind them to rub on the image. It is very cool. I have met the lady and her husband at quilt shows before selling them. They seem really nice.

I love the blocks. I need to see how quickly I finish my other projects before I commit, but looking at the blocks my it hard to say no.

Red, I mailed my blocks yesterday. Again, I tried to pay for delivery confirmation coming back to my house and I am still told that they can not do that. Sherry

Hi karen ... When you are ready, let me know. I love what have come in so far!

Hi Sherry .... Thanks for the heads up on the blocks being in the mail hon... I will keep my eyes out for them. There were people in the last swap who were able to send a confirmation for thier inside envelope. But, I have a feeling that different post offices have different rules.
The priority envelopes are pretty secure. Although I have had one go around the whole u.s. before coming here. If there wasn't a confirmation on it, I wouldn't have known where it was. But, I kid you not, it went from texas to bell, california, across to new york city to upstate new jersey to back across many post offices across the country to sacramento and then to nevada. True story!!

Ok everyone... Here is the question. Do you like the idea of people using the paint sticks to make blocks as long as there is some fabric borders or embroidery stitches added?

I want to ask everyone to make sure that it is fine with you before saying yes to a couple people.
