Well - Now I officially LOVE you guys (like I didn't before) - what a hoot you are...........I am still trying to figure out which Sue best reflects me - I will pretend it is the bathing suit Sue - but perhaps the alligator Sue is more on target. BTW: It is on my sewing room wall - UH OH

OK - starting at square one - do you move or work with what you've got - like it is even a choice?!
I must admit - this was the right (and delicious) choice.

Alex, When you called tonight and said you enjoyed your ride from the airport to La Veta, I remembered the pictures I took in June when I made the same trip. I don't think we ever got around to looking at them.
This is the view leaving the airport in Colorado Springs and heading for the road to La Veta.
Then comes the open low hills and valleys.
Then come the mountains.
You're getting close to La Veta now. It's a great drive. Have a great time and tell Ricky, Justin and the crew that I think you are all doing a great job. But remember you have to come back because I'm not the only one who misses you.
Love, DH

With Roni's permission I thought you could relate to the letter she sent me.
I worked at the quilt
shop yesterday, this lovely lady came in searching for an easy quilt. She
purchased some items and we started chatting. She was making a quilt for her
son to take to college. She thought he didn't want one, then she asked him and
he said " of course I do". He leaves in 4 weeks.
Then I felt guilty, mine
leaves in 4 weeks too. I didn't ever think about making him a quilt for
college.
I am making the Eagle quilt, but that isn't leaving my house! So,
I went around the store, picked out some fabrics, came home last night and cut.
Started sewing this morning, it was like a comedy of errors. While chain
piecing the 9 patch blocks together, I slashed them with scissors while trying
to cut the pieces apart. I knocked over a brand new box of pins, ( yes all 500
of them are on the floor), but the topper was, I sewed my thumb. I amazed
myself, I didn't scream, I didn't cry, I just raised the needle and ran to put
it under cold water. After that I figured someone was trying to tell me not to
sew on this today.
Seems ok now, just sore.
I might get brave later
and go back to it! Once you fall off a horse, you should get right back
on!
Hope all is well with you.
Talk soon
Roni Gerhardt and her sore
thumb!
PS: In her follow up letter, three rows are done, three more left - you go girl!

We are very excited about the second half of season one. It seems it was just yesterday that we were taping them - in fact it was! We appreciated all your thoughts regarding the first six episodes and you will find that we have made some changes. For instance, regarding the "how to" content, you wanted more - your wish was our command. In fact, the first show runs over one hour long - that is almost equal to three- half hour shows when you add in commercial time. 
We would suggest that you consider watching the show in segments - there is a lot of information to take in (remember to use the remote control to your advantage). But don't worry, our resource guide is available for your reference. Although we call the Quilt Show, an Internet TV program - John, believes we are becoming an Interactive Video Magazine. Where else can you watch and then instantly communicate within our community? Pretty cool when you think about it.

OK Gang - it's time to make a summer wallhanging for your favorite fisherman - or just for the pleasure of it. You have a few weeks to gather your fabric and then we will begin! Check the link above the rhapsody flag for more details - it is time to sew!!!

Although I had the pleasure to be with quilters in VA at Ricky's seminar (with Libby Lehman and Bob Purcell) I had to leave early for a wedding. Yes, it is wedding time in my family (not my kids) - so off to Minnesota for a gathering of pirates. Friday night was a very nice shower for Caitlin (the bride) and this evening is the big event. So what to do today? Is there anything more important besides getting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? Not so, according to my 8th grade teacher daughter!
- and yes she is old enough to teach. LOL
