Good Morning All!!!
Muv ... Outstanding!!! It goes way beyond anything I was expecting. I like the simplicity of your "racing stripe" outer border. It frames it gently, not taking from the focus work. Incredible!! You've done yourself proud!!!!
Jenniky ... so sorry for your brother's loss. What a wonderful pair you two are to take off to be at his side and help him find his way in his new life. I'm glad you got your priorities straight ... and found space for your sewing machine to travel with you! The good news is all the shopping you can do and new LQS' you'll be able to find now!!!
As for DHs concerns about taking it all home ... remember, there are trailers! Or your USPS would be glad to forward it to you. However, I have a feeling that you will be leaving a house of quilts for your DB!!
We'll look forward to hearing from you when you can make the internet connections where you are. Another strategy ... make use of the ihigh speed internet cafes when you are out and about!
