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.

I was going to guess Spin Spin for the records, never even thought of ODR.

John, still waiting to hear what a general dogsbody is!

sorry Jenney
I should have realised this was not a word in use over here but a quick check at http://www.dictionary.com revealed:-
"pl. dogsˇbodˇies Chiefly British Slang. One who does menial work; a drudge."

My concise English dictionary says:-
"a person who carries out menial tasks for others"
Either is a good description of a champion tour guide in my book
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)

Well, John now that I have my prize, I think I'll let others do the guessing http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif
only fair after all. I really like this game! The Worth Believin' square was incredible. They all are. What a talented bunch of people.

sheesh, Jenney, I guess you're the workhorse. Better start delegating. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

This will either be an astounding correct answer or a complete lesson in humiliation! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Could that be..."A Passing Ship"? http://www.corfid.com/ubb/confused.gif

B you are humiliated a cheating peak at its URL reveals the word Yamouth so this is obviously before the paint was burnt off the funnel!
another quilt square:-

Not hard once you realise as embaressingly did the the quilter rather too late that she had named the wrong continent!!Although think Gord noticed at the unveiling
As you said Laurel you are now ineligible to guess

Oh that is a cute square! Obvious what that one is. Well, unless you don't know your geography.

Goly Moses SM despite what the URL says I''ll go for "You're So Square"
I think I prefer the quilt version by Dot (Dorothea Kemp:-

which is absolutely beautiful and one of my favo(u)rites
