It's time for pattern number two, pulled randomly from that dark and mystical place that is my Hat! (And believe me, it's not easy to pull small pieces of paper out of a large yellow cone.) :BM

DDR!
Ok, I've not played that, just arrows to me. But thankfully an awesome pattern and very pretty arrows indeed! I'm ok with this, heck I'm just happy that everyone else is loving this one! Course it could give me the excuse to fiddle with it and sew the best darn arrows I've ever sewn!!! :tomato:

Aww, thank you. :blush: I'm glad it looks good from an expert's eyes. :cool: Specially since I'm just using what I have around the house to reverse. It's really fun to try and figure out what the best color will be for an opposite (using a color wheel to help me out a bit as well lol). :good:

Thank you Lileya! I'm not sure I agree with you but...lol

Queen B -> The arrows just tell you where on the pad to step to make the dance move, I believe. I've never played it either but I do like the pattern and it should look really cool in reverse colors. :D

I'm working on plastic canvas so I can take it to work without needing to use a frame.
Great idea......*runs off and grabs some*

I think I'l stitch on this and hang it up on the wall and use my pillow.....somewhere...not sure where im going to put it yet.

I'll be okay, but I'm out of commission for 6-8 weeks. Looking forward to seeing all the WIPs and finished samplers and I will finish mine once I'm healed.

Hope they heal up quickly and relatively painlessly!!

So sorry to hear you're hurt! Hope you are ok and your fingers get better soon! <3

blackberrybear, at first I didn't get a chance to read the text because of a storm of children, so all I could do was catch glances at the image. "Is that plastic canvas?" I asked myself. "Yes," I answered, "it sure looks that way." :nod

LIMH: So first Lileya bleeds all over the place, and now you're smashed up. Let me guess: the first rule of Sprite Club is you don't talk about Sprite Club.

EDIT: Funky - Butterfly and Drop the Bomb are my picks. :nod

I love the DDR pattern! It's so vibrant! I think it will definitely add character to our samplers!
