quietly waiting for opening day. package hasnt screamed too loudly yet---probably wouldnt hear it over the Brat's whining anyway. Grandpa quilt is 2/3rds quilted--has been a real breeze as it is needling real fine. used a fusible batting which i have never used before but got it at second hand store got 99 cents. have not tried to fuse it to the backing or anything--i am finding that it pretty wll sticks in place all by itself.
been working on a x-stitch band of flowers to sew to front of a tote bag for my sister's Xmas gift--like usual have been taking out as much as i have been getting done but it is progressing nicely.
I am enjoying all the topics and banter on here---sounds like a normal family at the dinner table recapping their days happenings with everyone talking at once and oftern at cross purposes. such is life!
