Oh my goodness...prayers for everyone. It seems to be everywhere we turn right now. My mother is in hospice and she is starting each day being non-responsive. She will not speak until I get there and then she rallies for the day..she takes a lot of short naps all day long but she is determined to leave this world asap. We have talked about it a lot and while she is 95 it is going to be very sad without her around to police my quilts. She actually measured my stitches when I showed her my frist one about 15 years ago. She isn't in any pain but today she has refused to get out of bed. She says she is there to stay! I know I am lucky to have lived 71 years and still have a mother but it is so sad to think she is leaving.

That makes 3 of us...I sent her a package that was supposed to arrive on Tuesday and I haven't heard...she is usually fast to send a PM or a note on this board. Prayers are with you Robin if you are reading this. I hope the package arrived.

Bertie, your quilt is fantastic...I am so behind but I finally caught up on all of the messages. Elizabrat I hope you are feeling better again. Moving is bad enough when you are feeling 100%! Good news for Anna...I am really getting a lot done on your quilt. I cannot believe how many pieces there are in that simple looking little piece of Americana! I am lucky because Anna will not be back home until the 20th so I do have time to get this one done! It will definitely be one of a kind from this house!

Buzzin Bumble...do love your rug. A friend of mine has one and I begged her to let me have it...I tried to trade for it but she was having none of that! Love that you hung yours. Lisa's was a runner and was in her hallway. Absolutely delightful.

Krystyna, I have a front loader washing machine and I washed some wool in it...it worked for me!

Hugs to all..so glad we have each other...nothing takes the place of "girl friends"...that was advice I got from my grandmother about 50+ years ago. She said keep your girlfriends close because they will be there when you need them.

I just love that star quilt. Good job Jaba. TOOMANYUFOS, you are a lucky girl. Was it hard to make Jaba and can you share that pattern?
