Somehow this post snuck by me! My sympathies to you and your family, Lyn. Kids knowing their grandparents (and great-grandparents if they are lucky enough!) is a wonderful thing. Glad your kids and your entire family will have good memories of both your MIL and FIL.

Lyn, I am so sorry to hear of your family's loss! Thank goodness her loved ones were there, looking out for her. Hugs and prayers...

Lyn I am so sorry for your loss.

Lyn--Sorry to hear of your MIL's passing but it sounds like she is in a better place, back with her husband. So glad, too, that family was there with her, both at home and for her time in the hospital. Take care of yourself. Nice to hear you will have youthful noises in your house for a short time.

Lyn,
Very sorry to hear about your MIL. I'm glad it worked out that you and DH were there when it happened.
Hugs and prayers,
Georgia

Hi Everyone,
It's been days since I was able to check in. We went to SC to check on my mother in law last weekend. About 4 hrs after we arrived she collapsed and was revived by the EMT's. After almost 72 hrs in the hospital with a vent, my dh and sil had all treatment stopped. My mil passed peacefully on Tues morning. Her health had been decliningand she never was the same after my fil died last Feb., but we never expected this to happen. She is at peace now. Next week end we will go back there for the memorial.
Needless to say I have not done any sewing in weeks. I have several baby quilts to do. I did get all of the bags of fabric and craft items donated to the Salvation Army for their annual sale. I had some very nice pieces of fabric from when I sewed clothing. I did get the taxes for us, my mother and dd#3 done and the FAFSA. Glad they are out of the way.
DD#3 arrived home for spring break today. It's good to have her here again. Manyh of her friends will be home this week also. It's hard to believe that her first year is almost over.
Have a good evenong everyone.

APRIL--I was doing the "righty tighty lefty loosey:" checked and doubled checked but brain went dyslexic and flipped the hand motions, not just now but every time I have tried adjustment on this machine which I've had since 1997. I was so frustrated yesterday morning that I contemplated taking the machine in for adjustment. That would have at this time actually caused me to quit sewing. It takes two strong men to move the machine and table and both have to go as the motor is mounted on the table. I started quilting the runner this morning and I am quite happy with the machine now.

We are seeing big snow flakes coming down. Spring will be along time in coming this year, at this rate.

Peggy, well at least you know your sewing room is still there LOL! Have fun with the grandkiddies!

Stacey, I hope your day is playing out better today.

Margaret, funny you should mention that... I have a tummy full of chicken and spinach manicotti right now LOL! (Lunch from Maggiano's Little Italy - yum!) I'm sure yours will turn out great.

Agnes, glad you got it worked out. I recently was driven out of desperation to take the plunge and adjust my own bobbin tension as well, and what a difference! Quilting is so much more smooth now, and my Elna 7300 has returned to her good-tempered self. I am a lifetime member of the "righty tighty lefty loosey" club when it comes to trying to figure this stuff out. Thoughts with you and Vern...

At lunch today, I finished cutting out fabrics for my wallhanging's border, so on Monday will commence to getting that sewed. I do enjoy working on stuff at lunch with my office door closed, and watching Quilt Show episodes.

Apparently our temperatures will be coming up, which means instead of oodles of snow with this front coming in tonight, we will have two days of freezing rain and sleet. Yay. Note sarcasm.

Have a great day all!
