Suzanne,
prayers for a successful surgery and speedy recovery for your daughter. Prayers for you also as caregiver.

I received Carrie's top today. Hoping to finish Monohon's today and they I can start Carries.

I have a question. When I paper piece something along an edge, is it preferred I tear off paper before mailing? I ask because I never tear off until it's sew so it does not stretch or misshapen. Please let me know preference.

This is a picture of what I am talking about. I can tear off the majority but leave outer edges.

You can leave it on. I too prefer to have it there until I've sewn the next thing on.

I'm of the other camp. i take it off. Then stableize the edge with a stay stitch.

Haven't heard anything about mine for a while. How's it going?

Pet, I mailed your top earlier this week. I thought I’d also sent you the tracking number via PM. Did you get it? Suz

Here is Monohon's quilt. It will be in the mail to Carrie tomorrow.

Hav4boys, I love it!!!
