Rita's mom. I'm drawing a blank, though I would paint it your favorite light color. The wall two of my machines are on now is not a light color. I am losing a lot of light I need to see to quilt - or to unquilt. It seems I'm doing a lot of frog sewing lately - rip-it, rip-it, rip-it.

missy-- are you going to send me the fabric requirements and the directions, puleez?

rita'smom--do you have music? and or tv? a small refrigerator for fruit, veggies and ice for your water? and telephone, so you don't have to jump up to get it/ find it in another room?

Well,I went over to Ivy's house,my neighbors who's hubby died a month ago,and she needed a rifle put under her bed.She has a really bad knee and needs surgery,poor thing.Anyway,she is crafty.In her bedroom,she had all matching fabrics.She had a real pretty fabric as a main which was a white/ivory background with purple lilacs and green ivy and a few other colors in it.She had a small wall quilt over the bed in triangles,and made the lamp shade,and curtains,and scarves out of this fabric.As well as the bed covering,and pillow cases with a ruffle and ivory 2 inch wide lace.It looked REALLY pretty.So,I am going to do our bedroom like that too.Of course we could use any fabric.

For the next several years, for no reason, blood would shoot out of that area. It was particularly prone to occurring as I dried off after a bath. Blood would squirt all over for at least 45 minutes. 'Course, if I hadn't felt the need to peek so often, it might have clotted sooner. The hole would be very small, but the damage to the walls wasn't. I finally got tired of it making me late that I had the doctor sew it up after some chopping. I don't know just what he did - I didn't watch. End of blood spraying. Lab results were screwy, but nothing serious.
