My kids especially like the Santa mini block (of course). I haven't yet decided on how I am going to do the quilt(s). I am toying with the idea of doing 1 quilt using both mini blocks and the larger blocks. I have too many ideas sometimes and cannot settle on just 1 to implement for a while. Thanks so much for the blocks. It is so exciting when the squishes come!!

At a meeting last night, one of the female priests (Episcopal) told me she does picture painting on cloth including T-Shirts. A picture of the subject will still be greatly appreciated. As well, I can get more information on VW products for gifts etc. I did love my old 1955 VW bug. It didn't have a fuel gauge. San Deigo: I was at the naval base there many years ago when our ship tied up for minor repairs. It was 1963 and the cold war was on. Our task group was sweeping with a US group for Soviet Subs off the Western Coasts of NA. We never did find a sub but lots of fishing trawlers up near Alaska. No fishing equipment on board and I could never figure out how they could catch fish without nets.(VVBG). --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: Attitudes BBS (905)388-5827 Hamilton, Ontario (1:244/314) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 172 CRAFTING Ref: EDM00085 Date: 09/11/97 From: RICK PAUL THOMSON Time: 10:06am \/To: LEE ANN HAMM (Read 0 times) Subj: Copying like mad RE: crocheted witch 2/2 BY: Lee Ann Hamm to All on Tue Sep 09 1997 05:48 pm > Return to Hines Home Page > This page hosted by [Image]Get your own Free Home Page I'm doing a capture/save routine here as my wife requested that I do so.
