    I still don't understand why a banana equates as someone being silly, so perhaps you are right Elle. I have a little book somewhere on Cockney slang. If I find it, I will look it up. Oh, just had another thought - could it be because people would look daft if they slid on the skin?
    Maybe because monkeys eat them, & we think their antics are funny?

    We say "nanner, nanner, nanner" in a sing-songy sort of way when we are poking fun at someone (all in jest, of course - not cruel.)

    Been cutting out tiny pieces of AOTH & ironing them onto their own block! No sewing this weekend. Bought 3 new quilting magazines - my favorite one, Quilter's Home, Quilting Arts & a new one - Mark Lipinski's Fabric Trends. I'm not sure the magazine is new, but Mark's name associated with it sure is. He was the editor of Quilter' Home Magazine until about a year ago when he sort of vaporized. Now it's being edited by Jake Fitch & Melissa Maher - Melissa is the one who interviewed me for the article last issue on the inmate quilting program. They are 2 really squiffy ladies!!! Melissa, are you lurking??? She does that, you know. That's how she found me.

    Well, I'm thinking that this block 20 is going to drive me to get seriously squiffy!

    Thanks Bev F. I am loving the batiks. They were given to me as a gift from a lovely lady on this board. I am working from 6" squares of baticks and have loads left had 40 of them all different shades beautiful.

    Here's my block 29. Don't mind my masking tape. Some of my blocks like to fray, so I wrap them in tape to stop that. Won't remove it til I square them up. Thought these were pretty colors to work with around Easter time. Hope everyone who celebrates has a nice Easter.
