I finally got mine!
 And some of you ladies are already making blocks! Sorted them last night by state and country. Boy howdy did I get a lot of duplicates, out of 616 I only got 9 of my own back I don't even know what to make yet. I live in Albuqueruqe, New Mexico and recieved several from here, what are the odds! Los Alamos, NM is north of me and I have some from there! I need to go through them this weekend, not sure if I can afford to mail them the duplicates for a resort, but I will try.  |

I'm glad that we were able to give both our daughters nicer weddings...I guess I used their weddings to enjoy some of the extra frills we didn't have then. It was the same for us and I made $ 6,000 the first year I taught. We had the same a small wedding with cake & punch reception in church and I certainly enjoyed being able to give our 3 children a different start in marriage. I just hope they realize it isn't the start that counts it is how you work to make marriage work, so many today just dsay enough and separate instead of trying to make it work. There are not may who reach the 40 + years of marriage these days! |

You made me doing the ugly cry You know the crying when your face turns into something from a horrormovie?!! I recieved LOTS of HSTs today. I do not know where to begin to say thank you to all of you as I am still kind of dizzy after participating in "the horrormovie". And i LOVE LOVE the special notes some of you made for me!Luckily the "flooding chapter" is over I have not bought any new fabric, but I have bought a few books and a new camera with 2 extra lences. You might know the start of this year has not been good, the flooding was just a start. My dad had his kidney removed due to cancer, but he is doing real good. No additional treatment needed. My sister had surgery yesterday, she has cancer too, but it was reconized in a very early stage so the DRs says she will be just fine. And I, I had my 2nd surgery in 6 weeks on Thursday. Apart from all this life is just wonderful I decided after all these events, this is the time in life to be real nice to myself. If I do not take care of me and make myself happy no one will (except from a lot of wonderful TQS-friends), so yesterday I made a 20 year old dream come true: I ordered a longarm   I know now I will need it as those HSTs will make a BIG quilt I am also doing the final arrangements for my 4 weeks celebration of myself this fall: Visiting with wonderful friends met trough TQS, takeing quiltclasses and going to Houston.Thank you again, all of you If someone would be so nice to send me a message telling me how to put pictures in the blog I will smile even wider than I am now. Hanne-Grete...I am so glad you've already received your package and I know we are all forward to seeing pictures. You know that we'll all be sending prayers and love for your Dad, your sister and you too! Nothing to make you feel better than a new longarm...congratulations on making that huge jump. Maybe we should all start sending quilts to Norway so you can quilt them for us . I'll be anxious to meet you this fall, too.Hugs and love to you! |

Be Still My Heart!!
They are here! I am in the process of unpacking them and placing them in piles according to states and countries. Began that process about two hours ago, I love seeing names that I recognize! They are all perfect! This is going to take a while! a BIG hug and thank you to all the people who helped make this day so brilliant (outside, it's raining) I'm taken photos of the process. I haven't counted yet, but see that there is a toss up between California and Texas as to which state I have more from. Thank you, Thank You! Thank you! |

DElizabeth; Is that why 'To Kill a Mocking Bird' was written? But what I’ll bet you haven’t hear is the Mocking Bird out my window imitating my neighbors telephone ring! I wish I could record it for you to hear! It is unreal! Of course she is at work and doesn’t hear it, she leaves her phone outside so much the Mockingbird has picked up her telephone ring to a TEE! I mean to tell ya, they don’t call them “mocking” birds for nothing. Arg-g-g-g. . .someone pick up that mocking bird and make him stop ringing. . . ringing. . ringing. . .I am going to have to play recordings of bird songs now outdoors just for the mocking bird so he can pick up some new tunes, think he like Frank Sinatra? I have to do something to get that telephone ring out of his repertoire!! The next thing you know he’ll be singing car alarms!!! I had to suffer my way through it as one of the set books for CSE English Literature  (exam level taken at the age of 16, but it has all been changed now)That reminds me about some friends of my sister's who got a parrot, shortly afterwards the whole family went down with a cold and cough, soon after that the parrot was coughing along with the best of them! and ever after if you said 'that's an nasty cough' to him he would cough especially for you |
