Carrie, I'd like to add to the donations to send to Anael. I don't have flannel so I'll send you a check to help with cost/postage. Aren't we all sort of like grandma's to Bram & Isa? Thank you for offering to do this! Please stay safe-I saw the weather for your area (it's coming my way tomorrow).
QNS, love that throw and AIL looks so comfy. Beautiful bloom on DH's cactus.

Are any of yinz familiar with Punxatawney Phil? He's a local legend. He's a ground hog that comes out of his hole on Feb. 2 and if he sees his shadow we get 6 more weeks of winter. I've had enough winter. If he sees his shadow, I'm making groundhog stew for the virtual RV!!!

OOOooooh so much GOOD news!!! poor Mirabelle... maybe you can get more sewing done?

QuiltE, YES this is me TAUNTING you! I want to PLAY! PLEASE?????

I think when I used fusible before, one side was sticky and the other side was iron on. it was fine with the sticky, but a nightmare to iron. I could not get it to STAY PUT! I dont think I even finished that project yet..... if there is a BETTER product out there, I might try it again.

LOL Jan, I guess QNS will have a recipe to make that stew QNS, beautiful flower! My mom used to have these too. I should get one myself, I love them!

Great pictures, Anael. Yes, we all feel like PC grandparents and will help out with the flannel cloth. Yes, I will help make ground hog stew, JanRN, although we will be very unpopular, 'cause that ground hog brings in $$$$$ to your economy of the state.

See if I can show you what has happened here: [ATTACH=CONFIG]391823[/ATTACH]Think it might have been QuiltE who tip toed in and snatched a piece? However, there is more for the rest of us:[ATTACH=CONFIG]391827[/ATTACH]Dh says its better than the brownies...

Oh Anael, what a wonderful picture of Bram with his parents! What a darling couple they are, and so young to have to go through all this stress!!!! (You too grandma --- HUGS TO YOU ALL)

That cake looks marvelous! Oh Yum - hope there is still some left in the Virtual RV!!!

Darling babies, yummy cake and beautiful flowers!

Dublb--if you have flannel and want to send that instead of $$, that is up to you.

I am finally in the clubhouse this afternoon....the quilting on Rosie is done, just have binding left. We have gotten at least 6 inches of snow in the last 12hrs and it is still coming down. It was over 50* yesterday and isn't suppose to get to 10* tomorrow...big change...getting colder by the hour today!

back to work...

Anael

Oh dear, even virtual I know I'm gaining weight

Bev, beautiful! Cacti don't bloom like that here, it's too cold. I've seen them blooming in France.

I have some pictures of what I made for the twins today.

On the white smock I made a tiny pocket. The pink one is jersey, soft but not like flannel.

Oh joyful news of returning son; flowers; cake; beautiful babies and parents; and Oma making bits of clothes. What wonderful friends we have to share the grand news.
Snow here--about 5"; but wind is to pick up and it's light fairyfine flakes which means drifting everywhere. Em coming later to sew--she was barn girl this morning.
Maybe I can have BB's done and in the mail by Friday. Friday and Saturday another trip to NW Iowa.
