Karen, Jan does not have power and has no idea when it will be restored. We talked last night, and all she had was some wind damage to landscape, no house damage this time. Guess we hope for the best, she said she got a recorded message that crews were going to be out today to "assess the situation".

Barb no, that won't work. I'm sending a PM

Barb I'm so glad there are people like you that really understands Math. It sounds like your speaking a foreign language to me. If math was left to me we would all still be sliding those wooden beads on the wire rack to count. Guess I'm showing my age too.LOL.

I just got a message from JustJan -- Jan's power just came back online. Said she had a phone message from Chasezzzz - Karen is ok, too, so that, with Klaws accounts for 3 of our 5 FL gals. Hope the others are good.

Judy, thanks for the update. I'm glad that Karen and Jan are okay.

Hi Everybody! I'M BAAAACCCKKKKKKK! YAY! Glad to read the good reports on others here. Will be watching for more. Just got my power back a couple hours ago and since then I checked my freezer and think all is well there too! Its good to have power back to include A/C and access to this board! Plan to watch TV and read a little, then going to call it an early night. Thanks everyone for your prayers and good wishes. Janet

I'm so glad everyone in Florida is ok! My brother too!
Now, for a minor problem: I want to ride along with you all but cannot make up my mind on a fabric choice! Paintmejudy and all of you experienced riders please help me with your opinion! [ATTACH=CONFIG]580438[/ATTACH]

Never mind I have tried everything to get the second picture to upload and nothing works. I'll try again in the morning

[ATTACH=CONFIG]580441[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]580440[/ATTACH] Solid black background or off white TOT? Also, will the directional print work for the focus fabric?

I don't think either of your newspaper and panel prints will work. They are too large and spread out to work in a mystery quilt. You need small allover prints and the red will be ok if you have other stuff to match it. Not sure of the size print in the black and white one, so its hard to say about it. Glad to hear your brother is ok, too. Was wondering about that.
