I hate it I hate it so when I hate soemthing I don't stop working on it until I am done. I didn't sleep last night working on the horrid quilt. I have a BIG border at the bottom and top. It was a nylon nightgown and it kept getting pulls in it that is why I left it so wide and didn't use it for anything else. I also used jersey pants for a border since the legs didn't have to be pieced that much to have it long enough for a border. I can not believe with all the stretching and crap it measures perfectly 41x68. Now I have to decide on a backing and tie it but the top is done. YIPPPPPPPEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! All in all it actually does look really nice. I am sure Linda will love it. If I didn't quilt I would really love it if someone made it for me mistakes and all.

I would have been here but I've been busy. I had to make a baby quilt this week for a cousins daughter and it took me all week to get it done. The baby shower was at 4pm today and I had it done by 3:30 and that includes washing and drying. Now I can relax a little.

I'm here, but only for a few minutes. I'm still feeling puney and my head is KILLING me!!! Oh my gosh, if I could drill a hole in it and release some pressure, I think I would be fine. Don't want anything to eat. I'm heading back to bed. I hope the rest of you are all feeling better. Sandy

I'm here, too, but not losing any weight and for the first time in my life, I don't care. Walking is so da@#$%ed important and cortisone is what it takes, then so be it. I never though I'd say that. Normaly, I hate the stuff and argue about using it.
I was raised by a mother who was phobic about my weight. My father's sisters were 5'8" and their weight jumped to 300+ pounds when they turned 18. Who knows why. Because I matched them for height before the osteoporosis, she was afraid I'd do the same, so she watched my weight like a hawk. I was underweight but it didn't matter. What is ingrained in us as children leaves hard so I have always been upset with any gain. That's why it's so shocking to say I don't care. She's been gone almost 50 years, but the voice lingers on.
I wish you guys would all get well and, selfishly, I hope I don't get it. Don't send it through the 'net, please.
