Krystyna,
you are always such a fun upbeat person on this board. I don't know how you do it! I would just ball every day and feel so sorry for myself. I live in Iowa and have luckily not had flooding although it is all around us.....just the other day when raining heavily the town just to the north of us was getting rain at the rate of 10" an hour!
Thank you for being an inspiration.

I love Iowa! My DH is from Iowa, my son-in-law is from Iowa, and now my June partner, Cogito, is from IOWA! ...Never occurred to me to ask what my partner might like -- WYSIWYG! If she doesn't like it, she can send it back and I will make a different one, right? 'Course, I may want to rethink that idea, haha.

Ooftah, have I got a lot of catching up to do with you all:
Lynnie, I love some of the colorful phrases Australians use, they make a person smile.
Jean that is soooo true! We both are blessed!
Skaduzy I did find them and they are such nice gals! What lured me in was the gorgeous Judy Niemeyer quilts that both had made and were displaying. I told them about you saying I should look for them and they were pleased as punch. The only problem is that I didn't know your real name.
Well Krystyna, you are far ahead of me... I can't get started until a fabric I ordered arrives in a few days. But i did develop a plan and a pattern and chose the fabrics. I hope I can do it justice. Even my DH is psyched about this quilt... he loves vintage trailers. But don't worry, I won't let him keep it.
Aaaack! so many of you already have your quilts done or near done!
(Green with envy)
I'm with you Cogito - I need all the time in the month!
I LOVE that Blaze is into designing and planning quilts with you Krystyna! It must be so wonderful. Seeing the photo of your garage really makes us realize what a miracle your bouyant spirit and enthusiasm are.
I really think what you said Sharon (luvstoquilt) about closing your eyes and seeing your sons is beautiful. When my kids were growing i used to try to imprint moments in my heart.

Krystyna asked me to post a picture of a penny rug quilt we have in our front entrance, just for interest's sake. I did not make it - We bought it years before I learned how to quilt and now that I am wiser, i realize that it probably was made in China. But it is hand sewn and quite pretty.
See that thermostat on the wall above the bench? DH thinks this is hyterical: If I sit on the bench while I am having a hot flash he can actually watch the temperature reading on the thermostat go up, up , and up.
He thinks it's a hoot!

Yikes I feel so inadequate, lol! I have a feeling some of you have been a part of this doll swap awhile and can anticipate upcoming themes. Let us in on the secret, c'mon we won't tell the outside world, hahahaha.

BuzzinBumble,
So glad you found Beth and Becky at the quilt show. Beth is certified to teach Judy Niemeyer classes but I bet she told you that. I want to make the Mariner's Compass when her next class starts.
I guess they don't know me as skaduzy. (My real name is Sue McGurk. I should have told you that. )
