Hello all! I live in eastern Oregon, transplanted just a year ago from Bend (the high desert). My folks live here, and are needing assistance now. When I was packing to move, my dad did most of the vehicle loading. At one point he told me to go get him some more of my rags to fill in some gaps. My jaw dropped to my neck and I looked at him and said "Rags?" Naturally he was talking about my fabric stash. lol, he just don't understand. :lol:

Almost forgot. My name is Tonnie (like Connie or Bonnie). The picture is of the Queen of the roost, little BU BU. She's such a good little helper. Always putting in her 2 cents worth along with two paws if she can get away with it. :lol:

There are just those who just don't get it. But that's ok. We love them any way:)

Welcome from Michigan!

Thank you everybody for the warm welcome! Not even my kids write as much. Yes, the picture was slow loading; wasn't sure I did it at all. Had to take a break from stippling a wall hanging. The monofillament kept breaking. Realized it was old (wooden spools). It was given to me after a friends Granny passed away. No telling exactly just how old it really is. Also checked the needle and threading. So it has to be the mono. I'm determined to get this project done tonight (paper-piecing), so I can get a head start on my March UFO. (I should make that plural)

Hello and welcome from South Carolina. I think Bu is adorable...

Hello and welcome from Southern Oregon!!!

Sadiemae! Is your real name Freda? If so, then your my SIL, if not, then never mind. :wink: Actually, I was raised in Plummer, ID and only moved to OR as an adult.

Welcome from Central TX Hill Country. You'll love this msg. board. I just recently joined & they are a wonderful, friendly group of quilters here w/lots of tips & help.

Have a blessed Sunday.

I just don't tell BU she's BU-tiful. She already has a 'tude because she's the Queen and I am her servant. She doesn't realize she was the runt of the litter. I was afraid that no one would want her and she would be bound for the pound or the coyotes. :wink: Do you live in Weed then?

I've noticed all of the friendliness here! Thank you so much for your blessings, and the same to you! :D

Where Julie? Roseburg maybe?
