Does that make sense?&nbsp; Okay, it's hurting my head a little but I think I like it. <br /></p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.purlbee.com/carolina-quilt-2/rss-comments-entry-450727.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Carolina Quilt</title><dc:creator>purl bee</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 02 Aug 2006 19:08:28 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.purlbee.com/carolina-quilt-2/2006/8/2/carolina-quilt.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">59842:709316:450707</guid><description><![CDATA[<p align="left" style="text-align: left;"><span class="full-image-float-right"><img alt="cbundle.jpg" src="http://www.purlbee.com/storage/cbundle.jpg" /></span>This project started with the <a target="new" href="http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/accessories_notions_list/51">Purl Hand Picks Fabric Bundle</a>&nbsp;that I put together for Purl Patchwork, called Carolina.&nbsp; I liked it so much that I couldn't resist buying one for myself.<br /><span class="full-image-float-none"><img src="http://www.purlbee.com/storage/pict0047.jpg" alt="pict0047.jpg" /></span><br />For my quilt, I also selected three solid colors to compliment and set off the busy prints.&nbsp;&nbsp;I can't wait to begin! -- Isabelle</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.purlbee.com/carolina-quilt-2/rss-comments-entry-450707.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
