Just wanted to say how much I admire you for taking care of your Dad like that.

I did not have them in my home but helped take care of 2 grandmas and a grandpa also my m-i-l in their homes so I know what it's like. It was a lot of time and energy consumed but I have never regretted it :)

I live in a rural area and am currently not working. I just joined this forum and have never done this before but am starting to recognize the regulars. :-o

I like the idea of a whole bunch of online quilting friends with marvelous sense of humor and very down to earth attitudes

Thank you very much. It can be challenging but I know I was also a challenge to my parents, so I guess as Mom use to say turn around is fair play. Never knew what she meant then lol.

You will be addicted to us in no time at all. Never know what to expect from Kathy Tim and Patrice but we love them all.

Hope to see you name up alot just jump in and join the fun we may grawl sometimes but never bite.

expect the unexpected and you'll never be disappointed.
:mrgreen:

I think I am already hooked. :mrgreen:

Hi June6995,
I just came across your message about Hancock fabrics closings. I have never seen a complete list, but our Hancock fabric in Douglasville, GA closed down in May. I was devastated, but did get some good buys on fabric before they closed their doors. I have had to make a lot of new clothes because I've lost 65 pounds (10 sizes), and nothing I had fit me anymore. I got a lot of fabric to make skirts for work. I also got some nice brown pinstripe to make a new suit-haven't got around to that yet, but I got lots of beautiful quilt fabrics. I still have Joann fabric nearby, in fact Joann and Hancock were across the street from one another, and both always busy.

Hello,
I think I posted my last message in the wrong spot-I hit the backspace arrow, and it looks like it somehow took me to another site. oops-sorry about that.

B_R, I am sooo jealous. 'Nuf said.

:( Hancock is closing many of their stores, but not all of them. They closed the store near my house in Douglasville, Georgia in May. I really don't know how they chose which stores would close, but it could not have been the one with the least business, because the one by house was always busy. Is Walmart taking fabric out of all of their stores? I had heard that they were taking it out earlier, but because it was still there thought they had changed their mind. With all of these stores getting rid of fabric-that will give Joann fabric an open-door to raise prices. Hope that doesn't happen.

I like your little quote on the end about God being perfect but our quilts don't have to be. Thank goodness for that. ha.

I don't have much to add today but, since the title of the thread is "HEY PATRICE", i figured i might as well say hello.
