I'm holding on to the red and the pink but not for this next basket. I don't know whether it would be worth it to join facebook just to get the pattern or not. Cheri used to post on her blog but switched to only facebook. I think she has more participants there and we can all see each others' baskets.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-81969551150898307772017-03-29T23:28:19.515-04:002017-03-29T23:28:19.515-04:00Thanks, Gayle.

If only quilters could "mix" fabric like painters mix paint....

I told someone else who left a comment, maybe by the time I'm finished with Cheri's Baskets of Plenty I'll have figured out and feel somewhat confident about "prim" -- maybe.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-31409504886599021292017-03-29T23:20:56.764-04:002017-03-29T23:20:56.764-04:00Well thank you, Carole.
