    Dojo36, you are so sweet. I'm glad you posted a close up of your work! A double wow! I love your embroidery, are those sayings? They are wonderful! Is it hand embroidery or machine? You are so talented!
    Blessings,
    MaryAnna
    PS I also love your saying...'Love people and use things....'

    both are very nice. I like the quilted table cloth, as I'm interested in Scrappy and using all of my bits and pieces. Thanks for sharing. Eiltcoq.

    Regarding the tablecloth ... Do you use batting and then backing, or just a backing, or ???
