You're welcome, Mish. I love your fabrics. Your log cabin balloon turned out really cute. I've tried several things for the ropes. I used some small cording, and that's cute, but was a pain in the you-know-what trying to get it in the right place so it could be sewn into the seams between the balloon and the basket. So I've ended up just using a satin stitch for the ropes.

Hi everybody,
I used the stitch on my machine Butterflybule described it, 3 lines of stiching together.
By the way.... my balloons are flying to Deb's house!!!!
I enjoyed this project very much for a first project of this kind so far I am pleased.
Cannot wait to see the rest of the balloons, let alone to wait for them in the mail!! Hurry up ladies!!!
love
andrea

C.Cal Quilt girl, Missgigglewings, AnnaK, and BrendaB's have floated in the skies and landed here this past week. I am going to ask that you (if you are able to) post a pic of them as my camera is acting up again. Yep, deadline for signing up is Aug 20, and your blocks MUST be here by Sept 3 unless you have pm'd me and we have chatted. The blocks are soooooooo cute, this is going to be another great swap. I have the last of the SunBonnet Sues' all packaged up and ready for adoption, they will be going out Monday. Now to get the tethers for the ballons ready :roll:
