One of my co-workers many years ago would use that phrase when we were making progress on a project. She'd say, "Now we're cooking with gas." I thought of her so many times while I was sewing these blocks together.
Wonder if she had a phrase that meant we still have lots of work to do?
For a great tutorial on how to make these spider web blocks, skedaddle on over to
Heather's blog at House of A La Mode.
Cheers!
