heehee, sounds like an open invitation for a raid doncha think, lol. got tents for the backyard incase we are running late while 'raid'n'. :) fire up the Barbie, mate!!! its partaaaaay time!! one two cha cha cha. jeanne

Well, heck fire.....if we're going to party....I don't want to miss it! I'll lay out all the good stuff and we can fondle all the booty! OHHH that doesn't sound nice does it??? booty....think pirate....not rapper! You don't have to stay in the backyard....kids are gone...I have extra beds. And Easter chocolate! Oh wait, we are having guests from Russia for the first two weeks in April. And don't come while I'm in Paducah. But other than that..........

I guess it just isn't my day. Without a pattern I can't visualize.

How are you feeling? Still sniffling, blowing and coughing?

thanks for asking. :) well its still there but nothing like that first day. now i blow occasionally, cough now and then, thats bout all. i'm calling it a pita cold for lack of a better word. who i got it from i've no idea. someone brought it home as i've not been anywhere in ages. i'm trying to incorporate more raw garlic into my food, getting lots of fresh fruits and veges, also lots of liquids and taking my daily multi vitamin. dont know if theres much else i can do really. oh well, jeanne

oh great, now we gotta 'plan' our stash raids? whatever happened to the good old days when we all loaded up in various vehicles, driving anywhere, pick'n up other raid, uh, i mean quilters, along the route for a spur-of-the-moment STASH RAID. oops, sorry to yell, lol. ok, so we dont need sleeping bags to fill up the room in the boot for booty, great news. you got Easter Chocolate, even better, lol. you could just tell the other guests we're extended family. :)) well we nearly are, eh. ahhhhhhh, and i wanna go to Paducah too, not fair. pouting in the south pacific, jeanne

lol, sorry. i knew when i posted that first one that it wasnt clear. heres the design i'm talking about.

heres how the 3D bowtie works.

the 4 sides of that the knot is the 3D bit. you can slip your finger under those edges. the edges are on the bias and you can roll the edge back on top of itself that will give you a curve.

i'm happy to try again to splain it, if you'd like of course. if not, thats ok too. i didnt do a good job splain'n the first time. : / jeanne

I was just giving you a few guidelines to maximize the effectiveness and fun factor of the stash raid. You wouldn't want to be turned away by the bouncers at the door because you didn't have reservations. I"ll pencil you in!

maximising the fun is good. being turned away by bouncers is .........

thanks, jeanne

Gotcha this time. How cool. I like to make bow ties, I might just try this method.

Naomi, it's gorgeous. Dresden plate is one of favorites!
