Suzie, your day sounded heavenly! One little thing grabbed my
attention, tho; " A FQ of celtic-printed fabric"! Oh my! I NEED details on this one! That would be worth a trade of some different flavors of M&Ms!!

Well, yeah, the celtic-printed fabric sounds pretty good, Vickie, but I need
details on the " metre of wacky striped fabric which will be fabulous as a cheating border". Details, Suzie...we need details!

You lot don't want much do ya...!
OK, the border fabric is Suzie Q Quilter by Fabri-Quilt http://www.fabri-quilt.com/cotton2.asp?id=34 ID#112-77401 or ID#112-77403 its on the second row from the bottom, the left-hand stripe I think, in this light its difficult to tell, but its one of them anyway! The celtic fabric is proving more difficult to trace, its selvedge says "The Celtic Range. Designed by The Woodrow Studio London England." It may say more but that's as far as my FQ selvedge goes... Its basically a sort-of darkish/paleish blue colour with smallish multi-coloured square and rectangular celtic designs printed all over it - knotwork, mandalas, borders, all printed in reds, blues, yellows & greens... not a very good description but I've just spent 30 minutes trawling the internet trying to find a photo of it with no luck - if you want I can try scanning it in or photographing it and bunging it on my webshots site. But not tonite - we've just got back from a friends BBQ where I had almost too much to drink and as its midnight here I'm going to bed... nite nite Suzie B On Sun, 13 Jul 2003 12:51:27 -0400, "DDM" wrote: Well, yeah, the celtic-printed fabric sounds pretty good, Vickie, but I need details on the " metre of wacky striped fabric which will be fabulous as a cheating border".
