That's great news and secondly, your newest block is super cute. I like the look of the tiny chain stitch. It gives the outline a thicker and more defined line.

Cutting up the the cards is a GENIUS move! Isn't it interesting and wonderful how sometimes just the right inspiration just flows from your soul to your finger tips? Good to hear that your health scare wasn't the worst of the worst and that your doctors will figure out the problem. I like that you are making a few more BFF blocks. May not done yet continue to represent what is going on in our studios and not what might be happening with our health.

I'm so sorry you've been dealing with such momentous matters and so pleased the news is not as you feared. Your chain stitch is lovely and I like your pale blue swirls.

Easy, inexpensive, and completely scalable.<br /><br />It is fun to be working on BFF again, and I must say they look pretty nice all together!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596185668087389269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-57581267603861276862016-04-27T12:32:34.120-04:002016-04-27T12:32:34.120-04:00BTW, good to hear that your health "issue&quo...BTW, good to hear that your health "issue" got a favourable diagnosis.

...Embrace the double entendre! Sounds great to me.<br /><br />The filing system for your embroidery floss is absolutely inspired. Great control of the threads while working on the "projet du jour", and a system for retrieval (when you actually do file it back into the system) that makes sense. Great idea.<br /><br />60" x 80" is a good size. Loving every one of your blocks and looking forward to all 31. <br /><br />Seams Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07783229116723144338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-19712580611039622242016-04-26T14:46:40.949-04:002016-04-26T14:46:40.949-04:00OMG, I just "heard" the double entendre ...OMG, I just "heard" the double entendre in the title.
