Hazelnutbunny, I'll get that address off to you this evening. You'll do fine with the points. Some directions are easier than others to get them to line up well. Many times, when I have a lot of triangles to do, I modify the pattern from working with little triangles, to using two squares, and seaming them down the middle and cutting off the waste to use later in a scrappy. Those bias seams are doosies. I also starch bias seams before I sew them and handle them carefully now. I was amazed at the play in them and always wondered why my triangles were out of shape and my points off. I'm still working on it too! I also have to make a fabric run for this one, but thank goodness for fat quarters!

I can't believe you have that together already!! And it's beautiful!! I also can't believe you made sense of that PP block I did. I really fought with that pattern. I will remember about using the insulated batting, too. I bought some extra when I did my bottle holders and that will be a great use for them. I enjoyed doing that snowflake pattern, I'm thinking I will do more of them. Robbi

What a great birthday! THREE SQUISHYS!! tdsully brought her's by on friday, a lovely Christmas Star in lovely reds and greens. THANK YOU! Lisa sent me TWO embrodierded (sorry about the spelling) blocks, a white dove and snowmen in a snow globe, too cool. Bonus Points! THANK YOU! Benken sent me a lovely Ohio Star made with a deep rich midnight blue and tan/black, it is beautiful. THANK YOU! DH gave me EQ6 and a new printer! WhooWhee!! Now if he could figure out how to get the printer working. LOL I'll probably end up getting one of the kids to do it, I'm not going to touch it. Girlfriend came over and gave me a coffe cup that says " Birthday Queen" she suggested that I might could wear my tiera for the day and I did consider it but thought it might be a bit much. hehehe DH is a good sport, said it wouldn't bother him a bit, but I would have to buy my own dinner! I've had a great 50th birthday. Aunt Net

Well, believe it or not, the drawing is quite a ritual to me. I get as excited as if I'm gonna be the winner, and can't wait to find out where the jackpot goes. I pulled them around two in the morning, right before I went to bed. I have so many UFOs up there, that I really didn't realistically want to start on another project until I get a few finished. Had I wanted to win some of the lottos I would have asked a neutral party to do the drawing, so I could've been in on it. I always like to participate, however, so I can see firsthand the level of difficulty and gain the learning experience from a new pattern. I knew you were particularly anxious to win this pattern, so was happy for you when your name stuck to my fingers, LOL. Is that the power of positive thinking? The blocks sent in this month were just darling. You all did a wonderful job. Odessa, I unexpectedly went out and bought a new car yesterday. LOL. So I'll be tied up a day or two getting that picked up and the running done to title and plate it. But, I'll get your blocks out sometime this week.
