Ninnie- I'm sending out Jan's tomorrow. I'll post pictures as soon as I figure out how to do so with my new camera.

Hi, Colletta, I am so relieved you like it, I puzzled for a while on what to do but I am pleased now. I had a slight problem with one of the fabrics, I could have done with a little more, but the shop had sold out, so there are one or two 'creative' extra seams. I hope it doesn't detract - I doubt if you would notice, so I hope it't OK. With all those pieces, it was hard to estimate the quantity I would need. In future, I will buy plenty more, and add any leftovers to my stash.

Judging by comments on my use of the word Crikey, I take it that it must be a UK word, that hasn't reached the USA! LOL. Please don't ask me where it comes from though, as I have no idea. Just known it all my life.

Well, Miss Colletta ... for calming things down, you managed to keep it plenty bright and shining, I am thinking :!:

Lacelady....fantastic choice! I love the little white fence! I'm thinking about using that for a border for my down on the farm block swap....that would be cool wouldn't it?..I like the way you pieced yours together...I might just have to copy ;)

Coletta....that is great fabric! Wow...I pulled out the shades and it looks wonderful with that center 8-)
