The crazy quilts are really rolling in and they are all so beautiful. I am sewing the binding down on mine to Needlegrammy but I am afraid to even mail it...just so plain to what everyone else is doing. I am glad to learn about tying the crazy quilts, one little job I can do well...well I think I can.

sammygirlqt-- here is the true secret of dq swaps. as taught to me by a very dear friend-- it isn't so much about the gift of a doll quilt, it's the gift of a new friendship beginning! truly! relax, have fun, make friends and enjoy the process!

Sammygirlqut, Nancia summed it up - it's all about making new friends here. And also about stretching your wings a little bit and trying new things. Working on a small scale really has helped me to try new things. I'm sure your quilt is fabulous.

Oowee, I hope you are keeping yourself busy making your partner's quilt and not stalking postmen! We have these Customs guys that protect our borders that will be inspecting Needlegranny's parcel to me for an tampering of the contents. These guys are BIG and carry guns so I wouldn't be messing with them. Hope you have a very very busy weekend filled with lots of fun stuff.
Sammygirlqt!!! I am trying sewwwww hard to be good!!! But it is really hard!!!! I have been in more trouble the past few days than I have in years. My mommy yelled at me and smacked my hand because I was going to pay for our breakfast
She actually locked my purse in the truck. Then she just laughed at me!!!! I don't know of any 54 year old woman that her mom got mad at her for trying to do something nice!!!!! But breakfast was very good!! I promise I will stay far away from those big boys with guns. I don't like to get hurt (or smacked)!!!! Hope you have a wonderful week. I know I will we have our Featherweight club today. I don't know what Needlegrammy has instore for us. She emailed me and said to bring a fat 8th and matching thread!!! hmmmmm this will be interesting. I will post pics later today.

Rosemary, it's beautiful! I'm sure she loves it and I hope you two had a great time getting to know each other.
And now for some great news ... I won the Nancy Zeiman scarf contest!!! I am so excited. The first prize is a Babylock machine bag trolley which I love and can use, but honestly, I don't even care about that so much. I really just wanted to win. It's just the little boost I needed today. Thanks for all your support!
