You know me, I just have to have me some swapping action or I think I'm dead, LOL! I am in a pillow swap (Bunny Hill Designs Yahoo group) and this is the wonderful pillow that Carol made for me. I left it at the top to see if T's suggestion that the "mucking" with the pics might be the cause of my new "never opening to larger size" problem. It's gorgeous, she made it a Fall pillow because we have been swaping for quite some tme and she knows I love pumpkins...and it arrived on Friday, just before my Birthday, hello! I'm such a lucky girl...a 44 year old girl, LOL!OMG! I just checked and it does open...thanks T for the tip! Woo-HOO! Oh great, now you can see a freakin thread I seemed to have picked up when I put the pillow on the table for a quick picture, duh! Trust me, that's not a loose thread from the pillow, that's just thread from the table. I'm such a goofball!
