Love the solids choinces and the echino print!
that little dog is so cute and love the color choices and the checkers mat will be nice too!
Such fun projects, would make great birthday or Christmas gifts. Hope the week is a productive and fun filled one.
Great fabric ideas for the checkers set!
Can’t wait to see the checkers and board! Love that purple echino print.
Oooh, I wonder if the dog can beat the pigbear in cuteness…
What cute fabric for the checkers to go.
Just love those solids; reminds me of silks and jewels.
Oooooh! Great fabric choices!
I like the modern twist on both of these “time warp” projects!
I like the choices for the checkers, will be fun to see those made up.

I’ve been meaning to make a checkers-to-go kit for ages now. Leave it to you to make it so easy–you’ll throw in the extra buttons so we’ll have enough checkers? Pink Chalk, I’ll say it again: you are tremendous!
I like the portable checkers board. Will it be stiff enough for two players to use in a car?
The peace-sign fabric is cool!
Great fabric choices. The puppy pattern is so cute.
I HAVE TO SAY THE CHECKERS TO GO IS A GREAT IDEA, & SINCE MY HUSBAND LOVES TO PLAY CHECKERS & IS VERY GOOD AT IT, I WOULD CONSIDER THAT BUT WITH A GRANDSON DUE IN NOV. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO DO THE DOG, DECISIONS, DECISIONS……..BUT REALLY LIKE THE CHECKERS THINGY!!!!!
I can’t wait to see Leisure Suit Lapdog!
Oh, I should make that little dog!
Color makes the world more differnet and rich.
