LOL.<BR/>I remember as a kid reading those true life adventure stories in the Readers Digest and being terrified about the plane crash/hiking accident etc before I realised that ALL the stories are written by the person in it, so of course they survive.SewRuthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09277062926597842242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-69940169179746824082007-02-22T14:37:00.000-05:002007-02-22T14:37:00.000-05:00I'm really LOL now!

I am watching along and eyeing some of these patterns for me.<BR/><BR/>I have been known to skip ahead and read the ending of a book before I am done also. I know what you mean by the being able to enjoy the book. I haven't done it lately though. Hmmm....I need to find some better books to read! <BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see the final SWAP. Between you and Marji I am getting some great ideas, plus I am a little envious of your beautiful fabrics too.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203860590162568877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-72591822493818342822007-02-22T08:21:00.000-05:002007-02-22T08:21:00.000-05:00SWAP - Sewing With A Plan...a contest that is run ...SWAP - Sewing With A Plan...a contest that is run yearly by Julie Timmel of Timmel Fabrics based upon a magazine article from Australian Stitches.

I hope you're not really going to swap those beautiful clothes you've made, right?

When the story gets intense I go read the ending, then I can read the rest of the story in peace and enjoy the writing and the plot development. It's such a guilty secret I carry - no one I know "gets" it, so I don't tell anyone anymore. <BR/>Thanks for 'fessing up.Marjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695305834402487163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-79914037619616593132007-02-19T16:33:00.000-05:002007-02-19T16:33:00.000-05:00Very nic!
