Oh Cindy! You did very well! And thanks for the info on that shop. I'm going to have to check it out. Light colored batiks have not come my way very often.

all their fabrics are the same price, until May 1st they are 9.25 yd, they are going up to 9.75 yd May 1st. Everything i bought was in their sale room, which was 7.75 yd. with 1/2 yard minimum. I loved that I didn't have to worry how much this one was or that one was. All but one of the fabrics I bought was from the sale room. They have an awesome selection from light to dark plus the wide backs.

I think today if I can squeeze things in between carpet shampoo I might make a half set .. I am good for three blocks a day max. I get tired pretty quick. I am going to mix things up a bit with my colors but that is what life is all about.. mix it up, stir it together an there you have it! tada! PS everyone if each of you post once a day or as much as you can this will move to the first page andyou wont have to go searching it out! Traci that applies to you too :)

Until then, you can go to the top and click on "thread tools" then "subscribe to thread" and then when you click "settings" at the very top of the page, if anything's been posted, it'll be on the list that comes up. If you want to see it when it's not on that list, just click "quick links" and "subscribed threads" and the full list will come up. Then the ones that have new comments will be in bold. :)

I finished two more sets yesterday. I'll have to try and remember to take some pictures tomorrow & post them. I am doing anything I possibly can to avoid finishing my work for the semester.

I did that with my homework too... All the way to the last day of the term for my last class needed to finish my degree.... Phew! It's only been 2 months and I remember it like yesterday... Stick with it though!!!

I am on a mission to find a cream batik like I saw posted here so versatile yet when I look they are too yellow or too brown or argh.. guess its a hands on thing. Never got started so many projects where goes the time? not into this week at all. how sucky is that? tomorrow I will focus on sorting my table runner swap partners.. so when the time comes I am ready to go! oh joy! (thisis not the fun part of hosting a swap btw). well off to pull my honey mustard chicken out of the oven .. hope the rice is done and well the rest is ready to go. yeah Brat. finished on time!
