Wow and Wow. It is pretty. Gorgeous colors. I just starred at it for the longest time. There were so many things to take in.

I didn't have the same type of fabs to use that Aie had, nor was I smart enough to do the bleach thing like Lesley...so this was my choice (along with some help from DH)

I love those blocks, so innovative with that bleach tecnique. I like what you have done Lesley but might it not weaken the fabric?

I know what you mean, Elle, we are always told that, but my bleach wasn't on there for more than about half a minute, and then I thoroughly rinsed them, and washed with a little dishwasher soap, so I can't think I have done lasting damage somehow.

Patti, I love your colours/fabric choices.

You ladies are doing a fabulous job. I am almost beginning to feel guilty for thinking I can do this :mrgreen:

No no no, you mustnīt feel like that Candi. Just wait till you start you will find it is very easy to get the hang of it.

I sure hope I can do it justice, Elle. What you ladies are producing is just fabulous!

You will do just great. Its a learning curve, I have never done needleturn before so I have developed my own method. using freezer paper, it works a dream.

I can't believe that what little bit you are doing with the bleach is damaging anything Lesley. Besides...by the time it starts to disentigrate...we'll all be like Elle said.......loooong gone. :D:
