KathyM, Have a very Happy Birthday! Enjoy your candy!

Havplenty, Did you cut all your strips the same width for the Lego quilt? What size blocks did you make?

I had a great time opening my 'Candies' today, looking at all the different fabrics. It's surprising how many are ones I've used in projects.

I returned to find my driver's window smashed in and purse gone. My car has an alarm system which never went off because they didn't open the door! No matter how well hidden, DO NOT leave a purse in the car. We never think this can happen to us, until it does.

One summer her radiologist gave her oldest son (7 yrs old) Radioactive sticker during one of her treatments for behaving so well in the lobby & "helping" his mother. He put the sticker on the apartment front door storm glass, voila! no more burglars! Oh, she has been in remission for 10 years! She has said many times that the sticker changed the direction of her life in so many ways!
We have a dog bowl just outside the back door that we fill with water, "KILLER" is etched on it in BIG letters (bad guys don't see a dog in the yard & think the dog must be IN the house, so they go away. Our beagle in the house would only want to play. Not too many approach our place because our daughter wears a federal officer uniform and has a 1,000 yard stare that scares even me!

Love the 1,000 yard scare! lol

Hi All,
This is Renee, I am Jarenie's daughter. She has been in rehab for a while and I am tanking care of the board for her. She is doing well and I hope to have her home next month. She has been hand sewing, as they will not let me bring in her sewing machine. She is ready to come home and I am ready to have her home.
Have a great day all of you great quilters.

thanks for the update Renee...tell her quilting friends wish her well and look forward to her coming back on the board with us.

Barb
