Hi Wendy,
 RH> some art training which has been a help in some ways, a hinderance in
 RH> others. Also have a husband who thinks I should make a pattern first.
 WB> MIne thinks however I do it is fine as long as I get done what I
 WB> say I'm going to do!
Well, Steve has always been more "do it by the book" than I have for the
most part.
 RH> It's still in the "Almost Spring" catalog I got from them.  I
 WB> Yes, I think I will have to order Tom some.  He'd love a tie
 WB> made from it.  But, how hard is a tie to make?  I can get a
 WB> pattern, but if it's too hard I won't do it.
A tie is really easy but this isn't really good tie fabric. Being
cotton, it doesn't have the "slipperyness" of something like silk so
it's a bit harder to tie.  It can be done but something like a vest is a
better idea.
 WB> His birthday is the 30th of March, so I have some time to play
 WB> with it between now and then.
Go for it!  They have so many cute fabrics in there but that one just
struck me as "the" one for Steve.
 WB> Yes, that is what we have here, too.  I'm scared to mess with
 WB> his system.  If I can't get onto mine, it's one thing, but if
Steve has the e-mail/internet on his so I use it for e-mail.  I only do
things I'm comfortable with for the most part.
Catch you later,
Ruth
