    Oh how precious. :o)
    There is a new little page on my blog titled "bartering" and wanted to extend the invitation. :o) I am looking to trade fabric scraps for quality handcrafted jewelry. :o)
    Have a nice weekend.

    Your runner is just too cute! The little birds in the centers of the Dresden Plates was a stroke of genius. A great way to combine two projects into something lovely.

    Penny, I have been looking over your blog and you do fabulous work. I am working on the July challenge. Hope to have mine finished by Thursday. Love your cathedral windows too. I bet Rae Ann would love to have to do a post on the Stash Manicure blog since it uses scraps.
    Thanks for stopping by my blog.

    I can't decide what is the best part of this post--the quilting or the writing!
