I have not been online or posting on the Board becasue, I was in the path of the Portage, MI tornado and lost all power and internet. My condo building is fine with minor damage like missing siding and downspouts. No damage to me except an accelerated heart rate but that came today when I got out and saw the devastation. A quick 2 minute walk south or or a 5 minute walk east of me was massive destruction of buildings and trees. Just immediately south of me is a huge swampy nature preserve and protected forest of several hundred acres that is now only stripped and broken tree trunks or trees that have been blown over with their root balls completely exposed. So very, very sad. It will be quite a while before our "Tree City" designation will be accurate again. I am admittedly a tree huger and I miss the ambiance of the missing trees and the canopy of high leafy branches already.
Back to 2.5's .....Love the quilt photo, Gemm. A striking use of squares and the black and white sashing to form stars is very clever.
JENNR8R, the cat rescue group has your number now! A cute quilt but at $2500, a pretty terrific fundraising item too.Woozers! Congratulations and start planning for next year.
Reba, Thanks for the info on the SW character. I just never knew. My SIL and his kiddos, my grands, are avid SW fans. When the twins were about four they were Luke and Leia for Halloween. Their little brother was an Ewok and their 6 foot 6 inch dad was, you guessed it, Darth Vader. Perfect for their first time out into the world of collecting candy in plastic pumpkins. No one messed with them when Vader was escorting them from door to door.
Missed the chatter from my online quilting friends these past few days. Maybe I can do some sewing tomorrow since I have electricity again.
