thanks Shelley.  It makes me smile every time I walk past it.  Now I need to figure out the next hand work project.  I purchased a little Christmas tree embroidery project at a show recently, I may do that one next.  I am still looking for a good background for the Thimble blossoms pattern. I want to find a white with tiny black specs (almost flea size) but everything I've found the dots are large and I think they'll distract from the pattern.  I might have to come up with something else, but I definitely don't want cream.  And I don't think I want the usual white on white as needling that stuff isn't particularly fun.  Maybe a white shirting fabric with a light shadowy plaid.  

thank you ladies.  You guys are always such an encouraging audience. 

Dee came across something that might work for your black on white.  I'm sorry I don't know how to copy n paste on the iPad.

+that's perfect.  And an amazing price!  thanks

I like Quilted Twins.  They have good sales.  

That really came out nice! Never say never on the fancy details, they do really add something so special!

thanks again Jo.  5 yards at $7 a yard is on it's way.  Yipee, a new project!  And that price was amazing - they were having a "white" sale.

I had read your post about wanting black fleas on white, so when I was browsing and saw that fabric  I thought to share it with you.

Those are really great!  You must enjoy looking at these!

Just beautiful Dee!  The detail is amazing.  I love pumpkins and this one is especially nice.  You do such good work!
