    What a special picture...very sweet! I miss itty bitty toes around this house :( Not that I'm eager to become a g'ma, but still, there is nothing like a sweet little one.
    Oh, when was this new baby born?

    Oh what adorable little toes--they seem like light years away for me....daughter 21, son 14! I have fallen in love with your blog--I wish I could follow--I have been reading back posts too!

    I have to ask you, on HPV (not the virus), did you back each block with muslin like the pattern calls for? I have one block drawn out, and before I begin I just wanna know....does it make a difference? I know Crabapple Hill says to...just askin...I also have Hot Flashes to work on--haven't started yet though...

    Adorable! I could look at the picture for hours and dream gran (grandmother dreams). The orange leaf on 8-1-11 is a surprise! (just came from Kim's ...) Happy Monday morning to yeah - granny.

    Barb - you are no-reply, so i'll answer you here ... no, i did not use muslin to back the blocks - i couldn't needle through both pieces of fabric AND i'm a lazy slacker ... i might regret it later, but i think it will be okay - i don't carry the thread across the back more than a quarter inch or so (i'm a starter/stopper) and i start stitching with a tiny loop (like i do with cross stitch) and end with a skinny pull-through knot - then i weave through a few previous stitches before i snip the thread ... sometimes i think the back of my work looks better than the front - ha ha ha!

    Blogger won't let me comment! Wah!
    Oh, wait, they will! Just wondering if all those cute little piggies went to market together? With that giant thumb as chaperone of course!
