Thank you!!

Yes, I make it all night!!! It's funny, but for about 5 of the 12 years I participated in the all night part I was the youngest person who made it all night. We would do this on a Friday night and would go out to breakfast afterwards, and then go home and sleep. Starting Feb 07, they (I had just had surgery to remove an ovary and was not there to be in on the decision making) decided not to do all nighters any more. We get together from 5-11 on Friday night and again 9-3 on Saturday in the music room at church The first 4 years I cross-stitched all night. That got hard at 3 in the morning on 22 count linen fabric, I would not be able too see to well any more, but I can feed fabric into a sewing machine much easier at that time
