Now your basement phone really creeps me out. We had about a year when the spare TV would switch on by itself at any time of the day or night. The only thing that stopped it was turning off the power at the wall. Our ghosty friend finally got bored of the game and moved on, or it was my father-in-law making his presence known!Doloreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05752310782630552117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005037273184467640.post-63259520950340714172012-06-29T21:21:08.666-07:002012-06-29T21:21:08.666-07:00Hm, it seems everyone likes #3 but I think my favo...Hm, it seems everyone likes #3 but I think my favorite is #1. I know you mentioned sashing but maybe adding some neutral solid squares into the mix?

I couldn't figure out how to link the pattern on my iPads but it was on connecting threads.com. It was easy to modify to whatever size you want. I plan on doing a few that have one strip in each rainbow color (orstephmabryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14029980354437797232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005037273184467640.post-49461960643102630452012-06-29T15:03:21.381-07:002012-06-29T15:03:21.381-07:00What a great stack of charms!

You look too young for this reference, but I think it would be great if when you picked up the phone, it was that time/temperature announcement that we used to call back in the 70s/80s when I was little. You'd be getting your own little personal update. (Can you imagine doing that now?
