Yup, I do! Since I'm going to MAKE some time to sew and shop (it may be at midnight via the internet, but that's fine!) I signed up for 2 partners this month.

Quiltingdragon..send that boss packing before you collapse!

Louise I am so sorry about your dad. I do think I know what you are going through..Mom is in Hospice,too. Very sad and hard to let go.

Can't remember who said she was worried about what her mom would do when she finished her projects..bet she will be fine. My mother did that when my dad died though the home they had was only about a year old and they had it built to their specifications. Out went the carpet, repainted, etc. I thought she was crazy until I lost my husband..guess what I did? Yep, moved to Illinois and totally rehabbed the house and property!!! It is therapy..least it was for me!

Well I'm signing up for this month as I wait for last month's package to arrive. I so love doing these swaps as I don't received much mail in my little village out in the boondocks where the closest GOOD Quilt shop is like upto 2 hours away. I love using something that someone sent me, even if it's a simple as the fuzzy socks that are currently on my feet, or the pen and journal that I use even night for my daily quilty work, the magazine that I'm flipping thruogh for ideas as I start to think about the Holidays that will be fast approaching, or the fabrics for the blocks that I am making. So I say Thank You to each and eveyone of you for allowing to play along and in sharing the "outside" quilty world with me.
So now I'm off to send Lori - our "Hostess with the Mostess" as my son says an e-mail and my questionaire for this month.

Sincerely,
Tricia

P.S. I know there are some of else going through some rough patches right now either with ourselves or family members so I give to you Quilty Hugs and wish you "Blessed Be".

Scary thing is the boss runs like that all the time. Just pray we get through until then and her dad doesn't get any worse, because if she has to go back to NY early i'd have to cancel everything!

Prayers for Catpowski.

homecaregiver 06-29-2013 04:03 AM

Glad you will join us! No e-mail -- we connect with Lori through the PM function. Go to the first post on this thread to find the questionnaire. What I do is copy and paste the questionnaire into Word. Fill it out, save it, then copy it again and PM it to Lori -- you can find her in the first post on this thread. Just click on her name to send a PM. That way I have a saved copy of the questionnaire, and just change it up a bit each month if I'm looking for something different.

lawsonmugs 06-29-2013 08:31 AM

Hope you sign up BillieJean,the more the merrier. Be sure to sign up before the first.Mary

I'm in for this month. Haven't played for quite a while, been to busy feeling sorry for myself to bother. I realized how much I missed it when I logged on this morning. Everyone was so nice and kind when I was down and out, I hope I thanked you all at the time. If I did not here's a huge hug to everyone. I can't wait to get the PM off to Lori. Happy to be back.

sweetwaterquilter 06-29-2013 09:03 AM

I'm in for this month. I have missed everyone while I have been busy feeling sorry for myself. Didn't realize how much until I logged on this morning. Happy to be back.

annt59 06-29-2013 10:28 AM

I am in for July. I am sending my post right now.

catjo 06-29-2013 03:32 PM

I am in again. Look forward to it.

Just got home from my 6th day of work this week. We had an outdoor performance of our DisAbility Project at the Saint Louis art museum as part of the opening of their brand new wing. it doubled the gallery space. It started raining as I was getting ready to leave, so I spent a few hours in the older galleries looking at some of my favorite art. Got some great quilting ideas. And a lovely sunburn :) Tomorrow i'm going to SEW!!! I've got to work part of a day at home, but I am taking the morning to do what I want to do. Then I just have to make it till Wed and I get a 4 day weekend to sew and shop for my secret pal (and catch up on all the crap I haven't done while working 45 hour weeks the past few weeks). Oh, Bliss.

Lori Peercy 06-29-2013 06:40 PM

Louise so sorry to hear about your father, it is hard to lose someone you love no matter what your age is. I lost my father when he was 57 and my mother when she was 59, by then I was 30 and an orphan! So very sorry for you.

Quilty-Louise 06-30-2013 06:43 AM

Just a quick note to say "THANK YOU" to everyone for your
thoughts and prayers.

My dad passed this morning at 8:00 he is finally at peace and
where he wants to be "with his Annie".

Quilty-HUGS to all of you kind, wonderful friends.


Louise
