Oh Polly, your wonderful sense of humor comes out in your quilts. First the kitties and now the sheep....I don't blame Mr. Ester for wanting to count his own sheep! It's adorable and definitely a 'keeper.' Thank you so much for making me laugh out loud today. Donna

Happy Birthday, Delaney! How wonderful and what a special miracle. Gastric bypass and age 41? Wow. Why didn't she just test shark cages to traumatize you? Mercy. So very glad both are doing well but I suspect that adventure just about turned you white-haired and it will be a while before you have recovered. The Carol Burniston book is Wonderfully Whimsical Quilts. Baby Delaney would be finishing up her education at Oxford before receiving her quilt if you attempted to needle-turn appliqué. Let us try to remember which fusible has been recommended here recently. The one I used is okay but I think there's a better one. I fused the bodies *And* put a short tight machine stitch around the edges too. ( We know what babies do to their quilts.) I expected to be bored to death with all those legs; actually they were just plain fun. I stitched a long skinny black tube, turned it and cut it into sheep-length legs + allowance for hem. Baby won't be able to gnaw one off and they darned sure won't come loose in the laundry. You will truly enjoy the book. It has many quilts calling to me; I think the one on the cover is next. Polly

Oh Polly I just LOVE the little sheep and their very expression-full (is that a word?) eyes! I don't blame Mr. Esther for wanting to keep that quilt! Well done; it's adorable.

Thanks Polly! I'm ordering the book today from Amazon.com. Michelle G.

Polly, for some reason it seems that most pictures show up blurry on my computer. I would love to see the sheep quilt but it is blurry, so could you mail it to me so I can really check it out? Barbara in wet SC

Oh, wow! That was really good!

I think Jenn and Webshots are doing the best they can with the photographer they have to deal with. I've sent the pictures straight on to Barbara; maybe they'll be better that way. Methinks I bought the wrong camera. I thought this one would be 'fool'proof but apparently not. Polly

Polly, I have a feeling she's going to say they're still blurry! Her post sounds like a realllllly good beg to me! But then, she's been trained by some of the best!

Ah now, Louise. How could you suspect Barbara? Just look at that sweet innocent face. Polly

"Louise in Iowa" Polly, I have a feeling she's going to say they're still blurry! Her post sounds like a realllllly good beg to

Those are the ones you have to be most careful of!

Love the idea of the "I used a very thin fleece for the pink and it is just ahhhh" Hope you don't mind if I copy the idea.

I am just about to make a 'lamb"and green quilt for him. Colours selected by his Mum.

Oh my yes. That's a success worth repeating. Please do iron the lightest fusible you can get your hands on under the fleece before you cut to keep it from fraying/fuzzing at the curly curving lamb edges. You don't have a hope of turning under or you'll get a fat lumpy border at best. Every one who's seen these funny sheep has had to touch the soft call of the fleece. Di, please do show us your lamb and green. Polly

Thanks for that advice Polly, much appreciated.
