SBG -- sorry to hear about Marty and the sore that refuses to heal. That does sound very painful. How is your hubby holding up with that?
Terriamn, the note with your block said the ocean is your favorite, too. Everyone in my family loves the ocean, too. I think it is the mesmorizing sound of the waves coming and going. I am glad you get to spend time on the Texas coast.
Janice -- funny story.... the Carolina Shop Hop pattern from your quilting frient is a setting pattern only. I am now following all rabbit holes to find the block patterns featured and am using that setting pattern (modified for 20 blocks instead of 14) to get my Patriotic BOOM blocks into a flimsy by Christmas. This is a perfect pattern for that. Please than your friend for me again, for shared treasures. It is very entertaining. It has been a lovely Thanksgiving all around.
