K,
Thank you, there are about 13-15 fires burning in CO right now
with one of them expected to be 100% contained by this weekend.
So far the Waldo Canyon fire in the Springs area is the most property
destructive fire in CO history as of last night it had burned 346 home
it is LITERALLY wiping out complete subdivisions of homes. They was
showing an aerial view of some of the neighborhoods and it was just
sad to see 43+ homes burned to the foundations while leaving some
houses untouched in 1 neighborhood they showed there was 8 houses
(not all next to each other) still standing but the houses on either side
of them was gone.
Here is a link to some
aerial photos of the fire area. More info about
Waldo Canyon can be found also if interested National news doesn't always
give a "full" impact of the situation.
Both my MIL and FIL houses are still in danger. My MIL is on "stand-by"
notice (stage before pre-evac), while my FIL is on pre-evac notice. My
hubs and I are also on pre-notice to jump and run (drive) down to assist
if needed.

NinaLemon, hearing about your son and the quilt was so heart warming. What a joy little boys are! That quilt is so charming. No wonder he loved it.
The applique technique is new to me too. Still learning.
Louise, I keep praying for a good long rainstorm in your area. I can't believe how big that awful fire has grown. Be safe!
