Azam you are very welcome!

Deb...how do you make a calender out of them? That would be really cool.

I have a friend who does woodworking. It will be a two part rectangle (longways) with the top being like a picture frame setup, take the backoff and insert the next month. He will make a thin board so I can (probably) tape the SBS on it. The bottom is a regular calendar month with just that month's page inserted. I know you have seen similar set ups, mostly country themes. Since the SBS are 12", the calendar frame will be custom made. I am sure that if you found something already made, you could adapt.

Took a road trip today and bought my fabric for March. Not quite what I was looking for but I like it. Storm due tomorrow, will get the fabric washed and work on getting the first block done so I can post it. Oh yea, I have to pick out the background...White or off white OK?

Sorry don't know what happened, she's sideways. I thought I had turned her upright. Oh well, better luck next time.

Love her!

I would like to sign up also. I will take any month that is needed. This sounds like fun. I already have ideas floating around in my head. Let me know what month and I will get started.
