WMUTeach -- you are now the quilting history maker in your family. I see you holding that olympic torch up high as you lead us along the path to making our own amazing quilts. Sharing quilting stories is great fun. I love that the quilts made in your family have all been used to shreds.

Here's another story for you all... I just found out that my cousin has put me in her will to get my great-grandmother's quilting frame. I have been trying to pick it up for about 30 years but don't have a truck long enough. I'd rather gather it before she passes because heading up for the funeral is not the best time to collect something like that. She just turned 80 and her daughter insists she has another 30 years to go. I like the way they think!

Thank you for the birthday wishes! Received one more today, petthefabric, so that makes 17 arrivals and that many days of enjoying opening an envelope!

Today was our final work day in our classes until students start tomorrow. Of course I ended up working too late, and then I still had to run to the grocery store, and my husband had to go to the dentist for a tooth extraction today… it hasn’t been my best birthday ever.

BUT, that said, some of my co-workers popped into my room with a cake for me, reading, ever so accurately, “This Barbie loves reading books!” and we had a nice little bit of fun and camaraderie before we all had to rush back to desperately trying to get ready for tomorrow! So it wasn’t *all* rough spots. Definitely more of a roller coaster of a day!

Can’t wait to open one squishily tempting envelope today! I think I’ll put them all in a bag and just reach in and grab!

Thank you all! Your good wishes and fabric sweets are another high point in this stressful day / week / month!
