My SS check is going to be less for this new year.

Well, according to SS the cost of living hasn't gone up in two years---hence, no raise in the benefits. I'm not real sure how they do their figuring but there's something wonky somewhere.

I went, I got my Times of Your Life card, got registered for the double bonus points and even though I have TONS of fabric, I bought some fabric. It's the Poppy and Sunflower Daydream fabric by Stephanie Brandenburg. I got four of the panels. They're HUGE flowers, just 1 poppy and 1 sunflower on about 2/3 of a yard. I want to use them to make a couple of fractured quilts with. I've been waiting a long time for them to get some more in and was afraid that if I waited until I go on retreat at the end of this month they'd be gone. http://www.creativequiltkits.com/pop...t-cottons.html This is what it looks like now. It was a tough choice between this fabric and the big wedge ruler and extension but in the end the fabric won out.

Those flowers are gorgeous!!

Stunning flowers!!!
