Oh my goodness ... I forgot, the most important part from this past week ..............
I mailed Miss December's MB last Monday 12/9!!
Do hope the huskies cooperate and get it to you before Christmas.

*gasp* ..... had to put this at the first, even though it;s at the end of what I have just read thru .......... MiraBs Bargello!!!!!!!! Stunningly Beautiful!

So good GrannyQ to see that you are doing so well with your treatments. Looks like you have bounced right back from your surgery, Anael and that you have now been sprung free by HomeCare!Of course, Anne keeps going like the Energizer Bunny with all her Christmas baking for DSis, and not letting her body interfere. And I suspect the same for CarrieM and her shoulder. Good luck with the new specialist! JanRN, hang tight and quilt your little out to help beat those blues away! Glad to see that all is going well with your eyes, QNSue. JanieW stay well please, for you are one busy (exhausted?) lady looking after the Grands and DDIL. Good Luck with the further tests, MiraB. And a broken for you and your DD definitely needs some retail therapy and a lunch! So sad for DDamsel and Anael as you remember your little ones, more broken ♥s. Best Wishes to any others who are dealing with health issues themselves, or for other family members.

Belated Happy Birthdays to Mr+MrsOKSGlad and what a birthday gift of twin grand-nieces!!! Wonder if they will be named after the two of you? What a shock in not knowing in advance there'd be two!


I see OKSGlad's fudge was gone in a flash ... though I can smell lots of good Christmas baking being done by you Ladies. And delicious pumpkin soup in the tropics!

QNSue ... thanks for the Christmas offer ... yes I would like a goodie or two, though I would fear that your/our border crossing people might confiscate it for their international Christmas GTG!

Lots of sewing being done too ... Christmas and otherwise. So much fun to see MiraBs Bargello grow into a real quilt. Lovely! GGal has a nice project coming up and I am already wondering what fabric/colour choices you will use. Smiling at Anael's Christmas hexie ... that was the pattern I was going to use for my Christmas exchange gift, but just couldn't find a combo in my stash! Now you have me envious. Just might have to do that for myself, right? (of course, I need more To Do's!). And then Sylvia coming together, as you get ready to start another! Lots of talk about other WIPs and future ones too!

JanRN, Spike quilting was not so hard when I did that tabletopper with the one block. Do some test runs first as to what needle size you might need to punch thru it all. I certainly did not avoid the multi-layers in the seams. So you are now mastering y=seams, I see!! Nice Block!

Great MBs with the GrannyQ/CarrieM, JeanieG/DublB and DublB/QNSue additions. Are there any more MBs that have been received, but yet to be shown to us yet? The music block will work into a nice quilt for your GrannyQDGS. I really like the colours/fabrics, subtle, yet bold in an unique way.

Good to see you back from your latest trip, JeanieG ... and good to know you helped the Phoenix economy. Good excuse, right? Yea for Christmas presents this year for you DDamsel ... you have that man trained!

Found OKSGlad's post that I was lurking ... and couldn't help but laugh!! Backtracked and that would be right when I was about to come and visit before I had to declare war on beasties in my computer!

And as for the suggestions that I, QuiltE has been in my sewing room ... I only whish!! Though I have got a wee bit done. Had to do Two DJs, thanks to JanRN!! (one thanks to the hot water heater guys; did it while they installed). Last night finally got started at my Christmas exchange gift. Today am planning to work on my giant one block quilt as need to have it done for later this week. But can I do it?

Thanks for the Welcome Back ... and yes, I hope I stay online, though there have been some strange things happening while I have been here, so not feeling overly confident. Will try to send a smoke signal if I am going to be off (last time, forgot and shut things down, too fast and then went oops!!!)



So the question that needs to banswered ........ has Anael ordered her crockpot yet?
