thanks for all the well wishes for my arm....no surgery we are going to just let it heal. I have a brace on it and will keep that on for 6-8 weeks. but I have been able to sew and cut fabric...so all is well!!!!!
Here is a funny story regarding our little squares. Yesterday I went to my quilt group and brought a lot (not all) of my squares so I could start to put them in color families to start on sewbizgirls quilt. They all started to gather around and watch me open each package...oh and awes all around!
so we are going to be trading 5"squares for our next quilt we are making. awe the newbie pulls through!!!!!!!
and 5" squares become 4...21/2 " squares>>>

If you get them hooked on the 'candy' Barb, next year's birthday swap is going to be HUGE and have a lot of newbies! You can always send them to Sheri's candy swaps in the mean time... just to get them addicted.

I took off work to drive to Paducah on Friday so I will be there. It's a 3 hr drive that I can do a return trip in a day (I have before) but I think I am going to try to find somewhere to stay the night, finish up the quilt show on Saturday and drive home.
I am sure there is some hotel on I-24 that still has a room and I don't mind driving a bit out to find one. I need to get to Hancock's fabric store because the last 2 times I was in Paducah it was closed. I have been to the museum so I can skip it this time around.
I hope you enjoy your trip.

Is anyone else going?
