You got my curiosity up now Jean. :) It will be funny if we did similar ones because in my block swap, my partner and I did similar blocks also. I guess we're all tuned in to each other. :)

I'll post a pix of it as soon as I get it since I know you have trouble posting pictures. I'm glad that you like it.

Thanks Linny. I have a story to tell about that thread. I had to do a redwork block for something and looked up what color of red to use. It said turkey red and then which number of DMC, etc. I knew then that I just HAD to do redwork.

You see, (hold giggles until the end please) I grew up on a turkey farm (yep, that explains a lot about my family). Whenever a new guy would get hired, the farm (we didn't own it but my dad worked for the guy)would send the guy out to buy turkey red paint to paint the barns because you could only use turkey red paint on a turkey farm. Back then, there wasn't anything like "matching color" systems, etc. The new guy would be going all around town, which he had to drive 30 miles to get to, to find turkey red paint. When he finally got back, flustered because he didn't want to tell the boss he couldn't even find something simple like paint, they would fess up. They just had to give the new guy a bit of hassles before they accepted him.

So here I was, looking for turkey red, just like my brother and father had done years ago....except for me DMC #8 perle cotton DOES come in turkey red. :)

Thanks for listening....you may now chuckle.

I am so excited! I can't wait!

Patticake, didn't realize you were just south of me in Olympia. Cool. I'm located just north of Bellingham near the border. Maybe we'll be paired some month!
