Just discovered I did not order enough chicken wire background - have enough for 12 - any word on a final count?

Gold, red & brown on tan background. I do believe that anything will work just fine.

Mine is the white with black wire. But the white looked better with my other colors...'

I took a peek, Looking good! You have some nice pictures of quilts there. Maybe you could post some pictures of your countryside, flora and ya know .... stuff like that. I always enjoy seeing what people make and where they live.

I love them! I stumbled across some chicken lovers the other day so I think we'll have some more signups. I'm going out-of-town for a week and it might be hard for me to communicate. If you have any questions, Casino Bad Boy can try to answer them. Happy quilting! "Bad is the new Good!"

I am getting better at the applique with the satin stitch - I really am - I think I try to sew too fast and I need to slow down and think more about what I'm doing. Willow.
