I have an idea for Biblio's animal fabric, need to play around w/ some paper shapes to see if it will work.

I don't have anything on her instructions that say low contrast, but if yours is more yellow this one must be for the orange. I'll wait 'til she sees our posts for an answer. Thanks for letting me know, easier to cut different pieces than to take it all apart :)

Francie, so sorry about your DH's sister! Prayers are with you.
My dog, buddy passed away yesterday too. He was a white lab, 12 years old. Lived a long life for a dog. Hard to see him go too.

So Marietta, any specific's for your fabric? If anyone else know's color choice etc for her fabric please let me know.

So sorry Francie. The unexpected part brings a shock that stops us in our tracks! Prayers for your family.

I didn't put any specific requests with my F8. Any pieced block will be wonderful!

Jaba - I sent out a yellow fabric and also an orange fabric. Yours is right in the middle of the two colors in my rainbow! So you can include both yellow and orange and it should blend into the others. Does that make sense?

I got two blocks done which makes me feel really good. Spent time cutting out pieces so I can bring a couple to handsew on my trip.
Bibliostone - these are 3D Bowties. Worked at making sure Mickey and Minnie would be aok when you turned it on point.
Kass - I love the citrus colors together and thought my yellow would be a bit more pronounced, but alas it isn't.

Francie, so sorry to hear of your family's loss. I know how hard it is to give them up, especially when it's unexpected. ((((((Hugs))))))

"So Marietta, any specific's for your fabric? If anyone else know's color choice etc for her fabric please let me know."

I've PMed her asking for preferences also. Haven't heard back yet though.

Ibex94, I didn't have any instructions with your F8 either. Sent you a PM also.

Marija's bag doesn't have instructions either, but written on the bag says "matching" so I'm assuming whatever matches. Sure is beautiful fabric.
