And neither can I. Sorry to say this ladies, but Patti has just made my absolute favourite centre. It features my two most favourite things. The color purple, and butterflies.
Patti this centre is fantastic. Are you really sure you want it back? Cos it can holiday at my place permanently, just as it is now.And did I let you know I really like it.
Linda
Thank you so much. If it turns up missing I'll know where to look. :-D :-D :-D

Anyway, I love your house block and am very excited to get to work on it! Nice job!
lol! That is way too funny! Yup, I have the Mickey quilt! I'm sending it to my Aunt this week to get quilted. So excited to see what she does with it!

Yeah, Americana is just a way of decorating ones' home in patriotic colors here in America. So lots of blues/reds/whites....a lot of country/primitive styles. At least that's how I describe it. :)

Have fun ladies.
Linda, I have received your center. It is prettier than the picture shows it. The center colors are gorgous and the tiny stitches? I have never seen them so tiny. Gorgous. Can't wait to go shopping to buy some material..... And thank you for the little sewing purse. I really needed one. I had started the Farmers Wife Quilt. I am doing it by hand and I am carrying it around in a zip lock bag in my purse. The one you sent will come in handy and is so pretty. Thanks again. Bonnie

:) Yeah, I'd prefer those to be used. But I won't put a limit on it if someone wants to do something really creative.
