Sam, Thanks so much. That was exactly what I was looking for..another crazy person like myself. I think I will be brave and do her on black. I always keep a white towel under my fabbie anyway so hopefully it will not be too hard to stitch. Mind you I might have a problem with the cat hair that my adorable three kitties love to have woven in my pieces. Black will not be too forgiving I feel. I'll just have to keep that lint brush handy.
