Terri - you hit Janice's colors perfectly.
Kathy - oh my. Never had anything hit by lighting, but normally I unplug the sewing machine each time. TV I could live without - but difficult without internet and sewing machine (which is why I have more than 1!)
TG I am so excited to put this quilt together everyone has done an amazing job with my fabric.

Since I can't live without a TV, replaced it right away, then the modem and looking for a new machine....

I spent the weekend at the quilting expo in Portland. My DH took the men's quilting and beer tasting class. He was the only guy who showed up! Apparently,the other guys cancelled because they thought the class would make folks think they were gay. The teacher spent 3 hours ,one- on- one with Jim,then they had a beer break. D H had a great time. On his way home,he reports he's excited to make his first quilt! I gotta hide my batik stash!
I took a class on ruler work with domestic sewing machines....look on the Westalee site on you- tube. It's pretty fun.
Francie, thats awesome your dh took a quilt class good for him. Now go hide your favorite fabrics before he plays with them before you do hahahaha
