Jacquie,
Do you want me to send you some of the "Fruit Butts" fabric to use? I have plenty.

yes, patti! i wouldn't mind!! thank you!:thumbup:

i have all the back ground fabric i'm needing and have ideas for the trees and plants...
but,
i didn't know how to 'tie' it in with your 'character's'... but if i had some of your 'butt's' to fussy cut and add in here and there, that would be great!:)
send those 'butt's' of yours over!!!:D
ROFL

Jacquie, There is no envelope big enough to fit MY BUTT, however I will post the fabric BUTTS for you tomorrow. Did you see the Jenny Beyer Christmas fabric. I just saw a blurb in one of the magazines, I am going online to see all of it. On my shopping trip yesterday I bought some Stonehenge Magnolia Earth fabric from Northcott. here is the link to see what I got: http://www.northcott.net/?sid=2&layo...57&colorid=765

Patti, you are too funny! I am laughing at your little "butt".

Just checked out that fabric...love it!

no, i didn't see her fabrics... shame.
i'll be they were scrummy too!:(

i've got my background fabric for my william morris, it seems i have 2 if the same 'william morris in applique' books!! (brand new!!)
so, joan... if you do decide you would like to join us, and would like one of these books... i could send it over to you, in return for some fq's???
no obligation...
the applique projects are;
'kelmscott',
'bird'
'friends'
'tudor rose'
'morris magic'
'minature sampler'

Jacquie, I have been looking for the book on-line and haven't ordered it yet. Do you think the cost of mailing it would be worth it? I would be happy to send some fabric your way. Anything in mind you would like??

well, i would be quite happy to post it over to you, no problem. i would have to pay postage wherever i sent it.
i think it would be quite special also if i were using fq's from my good friends in the usa! lovely happy thought :o

i think anything 'sensible' in Burgundy's, sage greens, something with blue flowers/gold flowers... nice fabrics large/small prints... whatever you think i'll like :)

if you're happy, i will go ahead and post this off to you.
love jacquie xxx

Jacquie that would be lovely. I can't wait to look through the book. I'll start going through my stash and see what I come up with for fabric. Do you like batiks?

O M G Hey Joan, look at the fabric on this site, I promise never to complain about the price of fabric again!!!!!!!!!!!
