Blue Balls
	In June, 2000, members of the silkribbon@yahoogroups.com mailing list participated in a "Blue Ball" swap. "Blue Balls" are containers made of fabric pentagons, that are first embellished with silk ribbon embroidery. We were given the idea by Terry Allbright, who designed a Blue Ball for publication. Learn more about Terry and her beautiful hand blown icicles at: http://www.geocities.com/terrysicicles Here is a version of the "Blue Ball" made by Stephanie for the Quilting Arts Box Challenge: http://mywebpage.netscape.com/corvetteedn/box.htm Watch for the swap update for the Blue Ball Swap at http://www.silk-ribbon-embroidery.com.
