Louise I am sorry you are going thru this, and no one should have to go thru this. I will keep you and your family in our prayers.

I started cutting on my needlecase yesterday and plan to work on it and my tropical table runner for Brat. I am trying to make a small dresden plate, fold it in half, and make it into a needlescase, it may prove to be difficult since I have never made a needlecase or a dresden plate before.

Mrs B, what a lovely photo. The little ones look like they had so much fun being a part of the special day. Congrats to all of you.

I got 2 pages done last night in my pin book. They need time to dry so can only do 2 pages at a time. I'm liking how its working out so may have to do another for me.

I made my first dresden plate this month as well. Once you figure out the first one it goes much easier.

I will be posting by the end of the week, then it will take up to 10 days to reach their destination. But my secret partners needn't worry, they will arrive with some very special Australiana as well. I will post when they are posted.

I received the most unique and lovely pin cushion form Blue Cat. I love it. I have never seen "felting" and must say I like it. Thank you.

I have never seen felting either. That is beautiful!! Thank you for sharing your wedding photo with us. Just love the wings.

May has been posted. You can find it here May's PC/NC swap. There are a few tweaks to it.

This week is hairy for me. Church class tonight until 8. Work tomorrow til 8. Conference for work Wed-Thurs out of town. Work til 6 on Friday. I do hope to take some hand things with me though. I will have internet access, so I will be checking in. Hope to see you all in the next swap!

Blue Cat that is amazing, I have looked at felting but it intimidated me! Beautiful Blue Bird!!!!!!

Wow! Blue Cat did a fabulous job! What a neat pincushion.
sikesjj - Dresden plate is one of my favorite quilt blocks, except for the whole applique part. :)

Glad my partner liked her mouse.

Love that felted BIRD!!!!!!! Beautiful.

So I get to wait by the mail box for my pincushion. I must be a pc for one of you ladies who are finishing up your pincushions this week. Or mailing this week? Yep, I get to sit by the mail box on a bench and enjoy the warm weather that is coming this week. Will be going to Montana later this week so if you mail it and it sits in mailbox, it will be because I am off the bench for a few days with family wedding.

Love ya ladies.
