I love the stripes and the matching....I was going to post earlier but got distracted. I have some pics to put up with some kitty help too....You caught my eye with the word Bertha because I'm doing my first 1860's ballgown and yes, it's TV 442. I found at JoAnn's some 45" wide lacy material that I think I want to put on it but I'm not quite sure how to go about it. I just thought I'd mention and I'll get pictures posted either later tonight or in the morning. I'm glad you're feeling better.
