I will look out for it. <br /><br />CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10267690361377005864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29037735.post-25188158205754658742006-11-07T12:16:00.000+00:002006-11-07T12:16:00.000+00:00Hi Terry,

I bought some grey lino instead of the brown, does it make a difference. The grey feels softer to me.<br /><br />I will let you know how it goes.<br /><br />BTW I loved your ear warmers you mentioned on your blog. I doubt we have them here. I too walk every day - just my ipod and me though.<br /><br />Thanks again,<br /><br />CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10267690361377005864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29037735.post-45726631636673488802006-11-06T20:50:00.000+00:002006-11-06T20:50:00.000+00:00Hi Carol,

One more thought that I forgot yesterday--the lino cuts much more easily if you warm it up. You can use a hair dryer to warm it, or set it in front of a heat vent for a few minutes. Doesn't take much, but it does soften it just enough to make cutting easier.Terry Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650965451863656517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29037735.post-9609546206535077192006-11-06T19:35:00.000+00:002006-11-06T19:35:00.000+00:00MAybe you've already described it before - but how...MAybe you've already described it before - but how have you made that journal quilt Carol? Looks very interesting. Have you tried making print blocks out of PZ Cut? It is bright orange and apparently is miles easier to cut than lino - Ruth Issett uses it a lot. I know that Art Van Go sell it.Leanne Hurrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332926618548461212noreply@blogger.com
