i am sometimes slowed down, and sometimes temporarily halted, but i keep getting back up. this has been going on for so long it is now the normal pattern for my life. i have nothing that threatens my life and for that i feel very grateful. there are times i am unhappy with the way my life has gone, but i try not to dwell on that. i have a devoted dh, 3 healthy wonderful children, a fantastic dil and the best dgd in the world. and 2 silly dogs and 2 arrogant cats. life truly is good! and i have a wonderful group of on-line quilters that i count as friends. so if i complain it is because temporarily i have lost track of my blessings. but they are always right here after all. and a little gin and tonic will never hurt me! lol

Thank you nancia for this little reminder, we all need to remember this sometimes in our lives!
I am going to say the same, except I have a fantastic DH, two great sons, ages 21 and 17. I am going to have to realize to be more thankful everyday and learn to let go. My 17 yo will graduate in three months! Uugh! I have loved being a part of this online quilting group who I call friends.
Thank you so very much for Reminding us about the important things in life!

Oh, and I am also so sorry if my little snippet picture didn't work out here on the iPad. I guess my partner will have to guess. I hope she will like it.
Remember we are here to have fun and meet new friends.

I too have my table runner finished but the gal who I am sending to has been so busy she hasn't had much of a chance to chat on here so I hope she likes it. Perhaps it will brighten her springtime and get her mind off her new job. I am glad she found a job in these hard times so have to give her credit for putting it first. I will take a pic before I send it and then if she doesn't have time to post a pic, I will after she received. I think it is pretty so hope she likes it. Getting close to mailing time. Hurray!

I got to go in to work an hour late this morning, so I got in 2 hours of sewing this morning before work! Nancia, just have to put the long sides of the border and the backing on your runner. I haven't figured out how I'm going to quilt it yet. I can't do FMQ on my machine, but this lil piece of whimsy will deserve some. I have a couple ideas, but we'll see. I may have to do it the hard way, trace & sew & twist & turn, lol. It's such a happy piece, and I know the kids will love it, but I hope you do too!
OK, lunch break is over. Time to head back to the salt mine! It's first of the month, so I may have to work late (bummer, but that's why I got to go in late this morning!) but I'm planning to work on it some more tonight or tomorrow.

Nancia, my fear isn't over you, it's over me! Do I need to slip you a sneak peek photo to inspire you?
I need a productive sewing weekend so I can get your funner finished and make a big dent in the home decor piece so I don't get nervous about finishing on time. I'm most worried about the quilting on your runner though.
