Yep, that's the one that Barbara made Jiminy. It became one of my favorites, as it was so simple, yet conveyed so much. I still "see" some of these quilt squares in my mind when I hear the songs.

My concise English dictionary says:-
"a person who carries out menial tasks for others"

Laurel you are too good the first prize will be on its way very shortly and the prize for getting it's worth believing will follow too
The following square is for interest only because jj here put the title on it prominently!!Nice one Jimbo ('ll answer your e-mail soon)
