Happy Birthday Pat! I hope you have a wonderful birthday weekend. As for the Peanut M & M's I second the others in this post. There is something about them that calls to me. The only ones worse for me than the Peanut M & M's are the almond ones. Yum. I cannot have them around here.
Just thought I would let you all know that I became a first time Grandmother on Saturday, Sept. 6th. My grandson weighed in at 9 1/2 pounds and was 21 inches long. He is so beautiful and I am counting down the days until I get to meet him. I need to work on his quilt in earnest now. I plan to bring it to MN with me when we fly out on Oct. 1rst. I work the next four days 12 to 15 hour days, but then I will be off for a few days and should be able to finish off most of it. Any hints on machine quilting will be appreciated. I was going to hand quilt but someone pointed out to me that if I want it to be used and loved, the machine quilting may be better due to frequent washings. Any thoughts?
