Billy,
Your wife is a very lucky gal! The quilt sounds beautiful. Hopefully everyone is fully recovered from the flu.
You must keep your kitchen knives pretty sharp to cut the end of your finger off. Ouch! :( You probably had to keep your finger well bandaged so you didn't end up with blood on any of the quilts you've been working on.
Billy, it says a lot about you and your wife that your 18 and 23-year-old kids not only want to go out with you guys to eat every Friday, but that they also want to bring their friends. I think that's great. :thumbup:
