Hi ladies. Here is the Ohio Star Variant without the border. It's a little over 50" x 50" and I'm going to live with it for a while and see if I want to add two more blocks or leave it this size. The colors are RHSS Claret, Windsor Blue and Aran. As always, a big Thank You to Cara for sharing her patterns.

Oh oh OH!!! I love it!!! I think you are quite right to leave it that size now that I see how large it came out In fact, I think I shall change the pattern to reflect your change if that's okay with you Thank you so much for working that up

Then on thrusday my son was sick so i went right from work to the hospital and take Ryu (son) to the doctor. i didn't even get to shower!

My goodness Sunny. How you found time to eat let alone make satines astounds me. Great job Hope BF and Ryu are doing better now

[tracysthings]

Mary, gorgeous!

 

Sunny, wow, what a week! Hope it all calms down now.

[econ-nerd]

Nevermind I just am not meant to have a horse design What I suggest you try is using a simple cross stitch pattern that is 25 square or less wide. I can't do that because of copyrights but for your own personal use you should be able to as long as you buy the pattern

 

Thank you so much for trying

 

How realistic of a horse do you want? if you go here you will find a little pony... that was meant for plastic canvas but I think you can adapt it to saltines.http://www.mountainharmony.com/crafts/pics/cartoons/pcpat_littlepony.jpg

 

I can look in some of my other sites and see if I can find something else.

 

That pattern may just work! I'll have to mull this over and see what I might be able to come up with. I'm traveling again soon and some graph paper and colored pencils may keep me occupied on the plane

Perfect the way it is!:clap

Cathy you will enjoy making Just Ducky. That is still one I would like to do.

[Skysmom]

Hi everyone. Thank you so much for the compliments and opinions. Now I can officially say that I still haven't made one of Cara's patterns in it's intended size. I may hang this in my sewing room...it has high ceilings and one wall that could use some color.

 

Cathy ~ you're going to love Just Ducky! And WTG on your Desert Star.

 

Hi Shelly~Great progress on the Amish! Squares are added.

 

Oh Sunny, it sounds like your life stays super busy. I hope BF and little Ryu are both okay now. Squares are on the list!

Mary morning to you.

 

Mary - 35 solids thanks

[Skysmom]

Hi Wendy! How is the Games ghan coming along? 35 more for you.

[tracysthings]

Mary.

[Skysmom]

Hi Miss Tracy. I'm trying to be good and do some cleaning...but my computer is on the bar in the breakfast room and I have to walk by it a lot. How are you and Denise doing with Team Sky? Can't wait to see the gingham.

[tracysthings]

That is my problem, laptop is too visible while walking around tidying up.

I think we are doing ok, thank you. I am on the second baby ghan (changed from doing one giant gingham to doing baby blankets for a fair). So the baby gingham became a baby one. Sister should be okay with it.

I like those colors...as far as do they "go"

Personal opinion.

I like bright colors....

Hi Cathy ~ As far as the contest, a couple of others have joined in after making/starting something. So...anything you've made since mid-January '08 is a go! All I need from you is how many solids, bicolors, etc. since solids are 1 point and bicolors are 2 points. Whenever you report squares, please separate them, too. Whenever you give me the totals so far, I'll start from there.

[Skysmom]

And as far as colors, (everyone here knows I'm horrible at making decisions ) I think they would be great! You could make a couple of each color and see what you think.

[Misa]

Cathy - I think the teal, turqua and white would be very nice I'm like Judy. I like bright colors but I tend to tone it down for the patterns. Not everyone likes bright
