That happens to me sometimes when reading or watching tv in Spanish. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my post, specially because your name is the same as my best friend of 20+ years back in México.

Thanks for that you lot

I'm fresh out of nails so I'll wait until they moult

Wonder how the cat would look..................

I was not suggesting the gulloutine for your lovely girls.

I just knew whether you pluck or wait for the molt there is no way to apply dye without having wet feathers.

By the way, I do love chickens. Have you seen Maggie Walker's lovely flock of appliqued chickens. I want to have those ladies marching around my kitchen. I wish I knew how to add links to my posts. (Here's what happened when I copy and paste. I still don't know how to embed a link.) http://www.maggiewalkerdesign.com/quilts/gardenparty/info.html

I guess I do know how to embed links. It just happens when you copy and past! Who knew? Da!

When he opened the larder door, it was standing up and looking rather surprised :shock:

Thanks Nancy - the overall effect looks better than the individual stitching, trust me.

According to Charlie Brown from Peanuts: the secret is to look fantastic at a distance
I guess the same is related to quilting

Reminds me of another quote from Peanuts. Schroeder is playing the piano and very difficult music comes out. That's when he says: nothing is so difficult that you can't skip it I hope I translated it to something understandable

Limbania, I know what you mean about not being able to stop dyeing once you start! Every time I dye fabric, I go back in the house and get out more fabric, since I have dye left at the end, and I don't want to waste any

. Sometimes, i just pour all the dyes together and dye the fabric. It often turns a brownish color but that's okay- it's a neutral, right???

Yeah, I have yards of hand dyed fabric waiting for me to use it. it's so fun dyeing it!
