I just realized something...we share the same birthday? October 8th? Wow! I knew you were a special lady!

Thanks for the kind comments on my fairy jars. They were for my granddaughter. She loved it!

Thanks for your nice comment on my pillows. They really brighten up the room.

Happy birthday, even if I am a little late.

RE: Written instructions, there are instructions for x's & o's, but it is found through Jenny's Craftsy Classes, called Quilting Quickly. She has 2 classes there. the first one is Quilting Quickly and the 2nd is QQ2.
The x's & o's pattern is in the QQ2 class. She also gives the instructions (written included) for Rag Quilt, Tumbler Quilt, Apple Core Q, Circles Q, Drunkard's Path, Advanced Strip, and Dresden.
I really like the pattern your looking for. But I think I learned the most from the 1st class.

Now as far as other written instructions, all I know is that occasionally M* looks for people to edit their written stuff before they send it to the publisher. That is how I ended up with instructions. : )

Thanks for visiting Libby, I feel much the same way, the forum is a lot of fun!

My books aren't here yet...but since DH gets the mail and other deliveries....he'll just say "you got a package". He'll be looking over my shoulder when I'm looking through them - and find stuff he likes - I think he'd better learn to sew if he wants all that stuff he likes.

thanks!! I finally switched the project to my Kenmore and got 'er done LOL
