I got the book at Joann's yesterday. I read some of it while traveling. I came back and looked at your table runner. WOW ou took that book to heart. Hope to get started in some real study of the book and practice. thanks again.

Thank you Fireworkslover for book tip - I am so pleased with the results!

First is the runner as it was, then as it looks now - I reckon I can charge a bit more now!

After I read your thread, and saw your PICS, I have ordered this book......hasn't been rec'd yet - but I will read cover to cover and practive when it is............maybe I will be half as good as you are.........

Thanks all - I am sure you will all be pleased with your results - let us see what you do. I am still adding to some smaller bits of work I've done, before I go on a big piece!

Make sure you practice on paper first - drawing, drawing, drawing - to really get the motion in your brain of how you'll go. That helps the most, I think. Have fun!

Buy a dry erase board, I have one and it's wonderful. Much less waste. :-)

Well, that's a very good idea! Good thinking.
