I also want to thank our wonderful Hostess Barb for all she does in keeping this group running so smoothly. She is truly the hostess with the mostess.

I need to make up those fun and wonderful little candies into something, and I actually do have a few patterns in mind. When I actually get something completed I will be sure to pop in to say hi show you what I have made with all the goodies I have received from you all over the years.

My reason for leaving is that I do not feel I have the time to commit to the group right now. I actually purchased my own quilt shop.

I do plan to hang out on the board, and maybe post once in awhile. I also plan on still being the Hostess of the Ornament Swap in 2019. I enjoy hostessing that event.

Thank you everyone for all the fun times and great memories. I actually have all my birthday cards saved from over the years. It is kinda fun to get them out once and a while and look at them.
