I lost a great deal of info when we switched to the new system. If I O U a block, please let me know. If you owe me one, skip it. I am done with everything except the new Austen theme. Looking forward to more swapping in the new year.

I hear you Robert. I still have not heard from my December partner. She may have given up, not sure. Rettie V Gram I think she would be on the go. She may be busy with Christmas. I know that I better get the two quilts for Christmas done this weekend so can mail them. I still have most of my shopping to do. I have ideas of what to get, but still have to fight the traffic and malls. I have all my guild member's gifts ready. Husband is doing well after surgery on Tuesday. They pulled out a 4" sliver of calcium deposit from his achilles tendon and fused the ankle joint. He is in pain, but holding on. The hospital stay was something else. Not something I want to continue to do in life. I would rather stay home anyday even if I have to pay a nurse to come in than stay there. Our RN was really good, he was on top of things then he had to leave, the other nurse did not even see him but once while I was there then I took a nap at 2 am till 6:00 am and they never even checked in on him. You definitely do not sleep in a hospital. The CNA was seen twice in the 23 hours we were there. Those RNs are worked hard thought CNAs were to help out more.

Aren't you just so sweet Robert. No worries for this month on a block exchange though. Thinking positive, I do not need to do another block this month right now. I am working on finishing a couple other quilts for Christmas so no worries here. Thanks for the offer. The longarm is wonderful. Once in awhile I miss my Nolting, but the Gammill is pretty nice as is. One time missed the length of the table and when i have to change a bobbin, miss the ease in how the Nolting lets you change bobbin in middle of quilt. Had fun making a Giant Dresdan Plate, by Laura Heine, quilt for a class teaching in January and played with the Workstation Design Center making spirographs. It was very enjoyable. Did some circular feathers in the perfect wreath form and turned out nice. Have to work the tension a bit more and will be prime. Have a block swap quilt on it right now to aid in learning to go around embelished blocks. I usually wait till quilt done to embelish, but not everyone has difficulties with the embelishments so trying to learn. Love your embroideries. They are really nice. I have my teddy bear hanging on my wall in the garage to enjoy. When I have time will add a border, quilt it, and then frame it for my enjoyment. Hope wife doing well. Many blessings for you and yours this Christmas.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments about my little bundle of joy. He is just precious. Robert, things in Illinois are pretty good. We had some rain the last couple of days. Doesn't look like a White Christmas as of right now. Hope you and are both doing well.
