Logcabin I am seeing this email after your "candle at both ends" message. I am glad you are not in this alone with your dad! And I am very glad the rest of the family is close enough to step up and help out. You and your mom need a break from the intenseness of the situation. The love for one another that you have is loud and clear. Bless you all.

LOL, SBG! Snazzy! Cannot remember the last time I heard that, and never in connection to one of my blocks. I’ll take it. Thanks. I’m glad we didn’t get the same fabric, too. My original plan was to pp a dragon. Bought the darling pattern and all, but realized I would run short of background. I was disappointed but I think I’ll make something with it eventually for the grands. It’s so cute!

I thought about appliquéing a dragon, but all the pics I found were so detailed. I am not great at appliqués so only do simple ones when I have to. I was relieved to find a pretty dragon fabric, finally. It just came in the mail. I’m up in Memphis but heading home today, and will finish my last block.

That's lovely, LC!
Well, my table runner dilemma is solved. I crosshatched the whole thing and put the binding on. Tonight I'm going to hand stitch the back (also a problem I have- binding both sides by machine). I'll show a pic soon.
Janice, I hope you have my label by now.

I leave tomorrow at 6 am for a flight to Kansas to see my younger DS. I'll have my cell phone but not the computer so I won't be able to put your pix in the gallery until I return.
Sue, the label hasn't arrived yet but DH will let me know when it does.
LogCabin, I'm fixing the labeling on the gallery pic right now. Thanks for letting me know.
