 It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived ! |

I am taking a break from sorting and am looking at my HSTs. Actually my Mom came to visit and she has some too. So, we have spent some family time together or you could say mother-daughter time together and have been pressing, admiring and yes sorting. Oh well, the sorting crept in again. She is getting all the prints and me, I like the batiks. It's a fair swap I think.
Good news is I got all the missing HSTs I needed to finish the last of the internationals. All of them (except 1-waiting on some info) will be out-of-this-country on Monday. Woo Hoo!!!! Clara will be completely done. Yippee!!!! Happy Easter everyone. Wait, I need to give you a little Easter story. My younger boy came into the kitchen. I asked him to give Grandma an Easter kiss. He kissed her on the cheek and then hopped up and down like a rabbit. Too cute. All his idea.  Clara  |

Okay! I finally got a photo loaded for my Profile, yeah!
Funniest thing, I have been stewing about what pic, & how to get onto my computer so I can load it; casually mention to DH what I was stewing about and he says, "What about that photo I took of you . . .?"  Next thing I know I have an email from him with that photo attached and, lo and behold, there I am in living color. Am I not living with the greatest guy on earth?! I am off now to iron a few more of my hst's before I really have to go to bed so I can be up in time for the Sunrise (Son-rise? ) service in the morning. WAIT - it IS morning already!  HAPPY EASTER!!! everyone.  |

I'm jealous! We have no mail deliveries here until Wednesday due to the Easter and ANZAC day holidays so no hope of my HSTs arriving before then. But it's been lovely reading everyone's news....and I guess I can work on one of my many UFO's while I'm waiting Robyn, Cheltenham, South Australia What are ANZAC holidays about? I've never heard of them in the States? Love all the global knowledge we are gainign being sisters. Maryjo Hi Maryjo - I agree it's been great to learn about what happens in other countries . ANZAC stands for Australian & New Zealand Army Corps and Anzac Day (April 25) marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. The ANZAC force landed at Gallipoli (Turkey) on 25 April 1915 - we now remember all those who died and served in all military operations for their countries during wars on Anzac Day - it's always a public holiday here. There was a movie made, in the early 1980's I think, called "Gallipoli" - well worth seeing if you can find it on DVD....very moving. As Easter is so late this year we are having an extra long weekend - ANZAC day is on Easter Monday, so they have made the public holiday on the 26th so we don't go back to work until Wednesday - YAY !!! |

Kathy tell your mother I have 2 of hers, the name Marion caught my eye as it is my first name also and spelled the same way. Hi Marion, I'm glad you got an HST from my Mom. I showed her your picture and told her your name was the same as hers. I'll keep an eye out for a post from you when you get your quilt finished. I can't start on mine yet since I'm waaay behind on the BOM plus have another small quilt waiting to be quilted. It might be a while before I have anything to share about my HST quilt  Kathy |

Hey, if you all are reading names on the HST's, just wanted you to know that my Mom made 24 HST's. They are labeled "Marion" from Simi Valley, CA. She turned 90 a few weeks ago and just learned to quilt about 6 years ago. She and I went through "our" returned triangles the day they arrived, calling out where they came from. She's so happy to think that there will be quilts all over the world with her HST's in them (as am I for mine  ).Barbara, love your squirrel story. You are a natural born story teller. The only thing that comes close in my life is the alligator lizard in my kitchen a few years ago, that the cat brought in. Kathy Dear Kathy; I got one of yours but tell your mom; sorry I didn’t get one of hers but if she wants to she can send me one now? hee hee! Thanks for you anyway Barbara Bluffton, SC |
