Good sunny morning!
It's a beautiful fall day... may this is the "Indian Summer" It's chilly and I may have to dig out a warmer coat than my jean jacket, but it's so pretty! Maybe today will be the day I'll get my table and chairs on the deck put away!
Becca.... What wonderful news to start the day! Any little weight gain is a good sign! What little miracles they are!
Chriss…. How great that Gramma's house will now be a home to a young family! Hopefully they will be a fun family to have around. Do they have little children? Some surrogate "grand children" you can spoil?
Lois.... I'll meet you at HL later... I think I might head there myself. Might check out their wide backing for the tree skirts. I'll have to put blinders on and NOT go to the Christmas area!
Velda.... Hope you can get some good pictures of the quilts laid out.. I'd love to see it! What a cool idea to lay them out for a blessing! I've had to dig out my long sleeve things too.. in fact I think I need to find my sweat shirts!!
Lyn.... Prayers continue for safe travels! Bet you are anxious to arrive in TX and get set up!
Jana..... Sounds like your Gracie is a "girly-girl" for sure... Everything PINK!
Judi.... I love Christmas Cards too--sending and receiving... they decorate my house, but you're right.. it's fewer every year... probably because postage gets higher all the time and with computers and e-mail etc... I don't have that many friends, beside all you guys that I send too. And if I get a card with a dumb newsletter, not even SIGNED... I don't send one back. I love hearing what folks are up too... but if you can't even SIGN it! seriously!!!
Flo.... Now you know why I have SEVERAL seem rippers..... just in case!
Maryz … I did manage to finish one tree skirt yesterday! Even got the binding on... and if I ever mention making a scalloped border on something again.... slap me! What a pain! But it turned out cute and I'll post a picture later. YEAH for the Seahawks.... I have a cousin that lives in Seattle.... but he's a PACKER fan!!!
Sherry....Warm and Natural is wonderful batting.... it just seems to have a feel of quality and it is so easy to work with. When I was in Texas at the Quilt show I saw bamboo batting, and that did look very nice too, but haven't tried that yet! Hope you are feeling super to go to the football game... surely you have a quilt to wrap up in to keep you warm!
Guess I should get in gear... My iron died yesterday so I need to get to Target or WM and pick up another one. Dug my Joann ad out of the recycle and there's a 60% off coupon so maybe I'll go there too and check out what they had for wide backing... thinking it will be easier for those tree skirts...I'm not crazy about the feel of wide backing,... but we'll see.
Hope you all enjoy your Monday!
