Love your potholders, Rhonda. I never really thought of potholders in mini quilt blocks. great idea. Now I have something new to try for Christmas gifts. I used to take part in a craft fair about 20 years ago. maybe I'll gave some thought of getting back into it. Yes, economy is bad all over. My hubby got laid off his job and he was only 3 years from retirement. He is having a very hard time finding any work and most will not even consider hire of an older person when they can hire younger and at min wage.

I still mostly believe the way I was raised but I am just a Christian. A follower of Christ. I am saved and have definate beliefs I live my life by. I have a personal relationship with my savior and I live it the best I know how. Hopefully he lives through me and everything I do and say. As far as the Quaker quilter noone here in the Quaker area are interested. But in the Amish area they are more popular. |
Thank you everyone!! I appreciate the nice comments!!
