Could you share the chemo cap knitting pattern? Cotton hats aren't good for this cold NY weather.

Church group was glad to get them and they put them together. Also I am now sewing "Coloring book bags with crayons" that I am going to sell at my DD mother's club bazzare. What are you doing in you spare time?

I crochet (tried the warm up america but didn't have anywhere to drop them off, they say Michael's throws them away and cost too much to mail them), ride a motorcycle, be a granny, mom of 4, wife, and I'm a medical transcriptionist that works too much.

WOW, we certainly do alot of stuff when we are not quilting. This is my year because I have been able to leave the house and venture to a senior center twice a week. Besides that, I think about dusting, ironing, etc; then there is crocheting, knitting, sewing gifts, watercoloring. Besided quilting I love to cook and rearrange recipes to my liking (which may I brag and say they are pretty good; so I am told). Then there is the other stuff such as the daily living chores to keep one sustained. Thanks everyone, you again make me feel normal (just like all of you).

I have been helping with Project Linus. I also am chairman of a hands on flower club, treasurer of another and do wedding flowers etc. from home. I also have eight grandchildren who I love dearly, one of whom lives with us, the only granddaughter (17) and she has a horse so I do lots of laundry for them!!
