Just got back from a short trip to Alabama for a week......QuilterMomma, you've got lots of time. Right now is a good time to maybe "think" about what you'll do next. I know I've said it before......rest and relax as much as you can...it does pay dividends.

Well Twinrivers dont hate me but I am having your quilt quilted. I just have too much trouble getting things into my machine a regular brother and making them come out straight. I get truly unhappy about bunching or crooked. especially crooked. I do know I put lots of time and thought into the top however and think it will shine nicely in your little study/sewingroom and the cats will love it :) I will do the binding part as well apparently its not every exciting to do (lol). I am not grand but not the worst out there so I am excited to finish and mail. all depends on the health of my quilter :( wishing her well quick regardless if she can quilt it. just being well is a lovely lovely thing that i understand completely. Do one, the other parts will come too.

Never fear, EB, I will love and cherish my quilt because it came from you, and I hope you will like yours, too. Don't forget to use your galloping horse when you inspect it, or just let the cats do the critique for you. Take care of yourself each day please, and I hope all our QB friends and/or loved ones do the same.

Trying to Linny, just got back from Montana for four days. I am the bad sheep by my new SIL because I would not let her work my girls like a white slave. Yes, I am frustrated. Love my brother but there is a line of having to do to much and then travel for 16 hours and me with back surgery on top of it all. Good think I live 8 hours away and don't get back there to much.
So much for venting. I am feeling a bit better, at least getting off meds today and hoping can work well without them. I have a few to many irons in the fire now that I look at my work area wondering which one do I get out of the way first. Or better yet, which one do I want to work on first. LOL

Partner and I have been in touch keeping up with progress. All sounds good on our home front - mine is finished and hers is on its way to quilter. Pretty excited to see it soon. Do you want pre-pictures Jane?

My quilter emailed me my quilts will be on there way home today or tomorrow, yes!!!!! Than all that's left is the binding, mind you that is my down fall, I just finnished about 6 quilts with binding that have been sitting for a year++.

I believe everyone has an odd one out in the family (for whatever reason). It's nice to get home, sit back, and say I'm happy to be where I am and so thankful for it. Almost finished with a cottage quilt...all different colors with white background, then having it quilted all over with trees...always wanted to do one. Also, the Crazy Quilt Swap....that will be fun. Take care yourself.

Sometimes I think I am that odd one in the family.
Some quiet time at home the next couple of days. I may get some more sewing done. I know, behave and not overdo. I won't I promise. Really I do promise.

I have made big progress in the last 2 weeks on LovingIzabella's quilt! Feels great to have it nearly done. The binding went on today and will be making a label for it also. Hope you like it April!
