So, that is one of the reasons I sew - keeps my mind clear and free from worrying.
You have a good evening too. My father passed away in 1983 when I was 45. I still miss him terribly - so much to talk to him about. I just look into the sky, find the biggest, puffiest cloud and talk to him. It works! Edie

Hi Edie,Ijust got home from work and it was so nice to get your mail! You put a smile on my face and hope in my future quilting. You make me feel as though I'm not a lost cause yet.It sounds like you and your husband are very blessed. Although it sounds like a painful deal with his arm. Of course if he is like most men, he'll love you waiting on him and pampering him,or does that go away with age, my husband and I will be married 37 years in Dec. We met when I was 13 and married when I was 16. Everyone said it would never last. We have three grown sons and one beautiful granddaughter. He's my best friend,he makes my half whole. hope your husband gets along well,I'm going to try and find that block of yours on the website you gave me. I just bought a Strip tube ruler and I'm getting a pattern book in the mail,probably tomorrow. I guess you buy jelly rolls of material for projects(new at this one) Have you ever tried them? The lady at the quilt shop assured me I would love them because there is no squaring up. Let me know if you have tried the ruler. have a nice evening,,Tammylou

Hi, TammyLou - I don't buy them mainly because of the size of the roll - widthwise. I always buy either remnants, bolt ends and fat quarter or fat quarter bundles. The way I quilt, the more different designs I have, the happier I am. I just got an envelope full of little sample fabrics with a note from my very dear friend, "If you want any of these, let me know how much. It's all yours for the taking. Will bring when we have lunch!" Is that a super friend or what? I have known her over 50 years, since we were in high school and she is such a dear friend. I need 15 yards of this and 23 yards of that - only kidding! But the samples she sent me are so sweet. Oh yes, the husband. Had his stitches taken out of his arm, also part of the palm where the did carpel tunnel surgery because of the break. So like the ortho surgeon said, do it now so you won't have to do it later. He can scratch again! He is a happy little camper! Have a good day - I am going to play with my fabric samples. Edie

hi edie,hope you and your husband are doing well. I have a question that i hope you can help me with. I took a class on how to run a longarm and I'm going to rent time to actually finish my first bedsize quilt, and they said I have to have the top and bottom squared up. How do you do that. I'm not to get with measurements. Probably kind of a dumb question huh? Thanks Edie. Tammylou
