On another note - all my lefse was sold out within the first hour of fundraiser; if I truely need to chase down an extra buck I could easily supplement my income by selling it; truth is I'm Sloth's momma and that boy gets it from me.

Hahaha, must admit my sewing machine languishes on the slower speed too.

My gosh, your lefse must be good. I haven't ever heard of it let alone tasted it but seems lots of people love it so how pleasing it would be to see it sell out so fast.

All done. Here is a sneak peek. It is off tomorrow to Connie.

dabbler312, your DQ went in the mail today so just maybe you will get it before Christmas. I am so pleased I talked myself into doing the Dec swap as this one was fun to do with my odd little twist thrown in.

ooh... I see snowmen! Can't wait to see the whole thing urgodschild2

Hi Michelle! The Doll quilt swap for December has already been closed BUT... We will begin the January swap very soon. just keep watching this thread and somewhere around Dec 20th, I will open the sign up for January swap.
SO I hope you decided to join in all the fun then!

Here's a sneak peak for Needlegrammy of what is headed her way on Tuesday!

I have to share my "treat" I received in the mail today from Dotcomdottie in NYC. I love it! THANKS DOTTY!

Hi Girls! Just took a break from my endless inventory spreadsheet for the insurance adjusters to read through this thread. Man, do I miss you all! Love the sneak peeks! I can't wait to see more! And I just thought I'd let you know that I will happily trade lefse's for some mmm-mmm-good MRE's! Who doesn't like food in a pouch? Well, back to my Excel insanity. Remind me not to own much of anything ever again so I won't have to go through this again.

I had to share the label of the blankets the National Guard was handing out. What a relief to know there isn't any DDT!

Happily we had these a few days later. That's my son, the Eagle Scout, who tied them to his backpack with bungee cords -- before we acquired the "must-have accessory" - a shopping cart.


And a couple of days after that we went to the "refugee center" -- formerly our ice arena which was a mountain of donated stuff. I found this nifty king-sized hand tied quilt laying outside in the playground and I guess no one wanted it. What a treasure for a quilter to find!
After a couple of spins in the washing machine at our apartment it just needs a little re-stitching here and there. Not my favorite colors, but it will be nice to give to someone.


Well I'll check in again soon.
Hugs to all!
