I promise I'll head straight for the post office after that. Barring any dire emergency, I'll have them in the mail by Monday, if not sooner. Can you email the mailing info? Thanks! Sorry for the delay and to hold you guys up. I apologize for any problems it's caused. Diane

Hard for me to describe, but it makes perfect sese in my mind. I do have the photo mats done, as those were much easier to make once I figured out exactly how I wanted them to look, but I fear I'll NEVER be able to do a dag paper piecing - ad trsut me, I've made may attempts over the last few weeks. :/ Good news is, I can overight it to you once I hear back on this and act on your response. (I love that my employer uses DHL - we have a place I can go and pay what they do - YAY! lol)

Originally Posted By Labuda Well, technically I guess it'll be a paper piecing since it's more than one piece of paper LOL Anyhow, I'll get to work on 'em tomorrow and hopefully finish shortly!

Look for a little wax envelope (like stamps come in) that has the stamp for the return packet. Thanks again and sorry for holding you guys up. Labuda -- I still don't know WHAT a paper piecing is, LOL! So at least you're ahead of me on that, ROFL! The silhouette sounds great!
