After years of fussing and fighting with the gremlins I get up, walk away and come back later when THEY are napping. Ha!

I usually do a Sudoku puzzle on line in the morning before I start a day of quilting. If I have trouble with it, I know I'll have trouble quilting, and I don't even go in my sewing room. I don't mess with the Sudoku gods - they're inevitably right!

So that is where they went. I haven't been sewing for a while so they had to have somewhere to go, LOL. Hopefully they are just doing a house hop.I'm sure they will be back. FYI, they don't just love quilters they love the kitchen too.

This is as bad as having money, going to the quilt shop and nothing strikes you as worth buying! So maddening!
