Carrie that wasn't a bad price for a prom dress. It seemed with 18 months Joyce needed a prom dress then she had a few freinds weddings the girls were a few years older then her but all knew each other so she couldn't wear the same dress. It was crazy. After she was done with all the gowns she brought then to a place that sells used clothes. It was around Feb she brought them in since it wasn't quite prom season but kids were looking for them. I think she got back about 1/2 of what she paid for them. At least it wasn't a total loss.
When is it and we want pictures!!!!!!!!!! The dress sounds beautiful. What size shoes does she wear?

I'm eating popcorn and birthday cake for supper tonight, not my bd, but I get the cake! Not good for diet, but delish!

Great quilts in my head...nothing in my machine.

Thank you. I think the wonky stars is my favorite so far.
Maybe you should just try cutting some fab's and see if that can get you started. Just think about the Veterans charity quilts you get to make and how much they will be appreciated. You have some nice new fab's to make them with.
I have days when I wish I could not sew but I have no choice right now. I am almost finished with the tops then I can start sandwiching and quilting. I hate to sandwich quilts but it has to be done.

For our youngest we fixed a really nice dinner for he and about 8 other couples. It was fun and everyone enjoyed being served. They saved a bundle. That was when dinner was not included with the prom. I am told it is now.
All 3 of my boys are now married and 2 have children.

Her boyfriend was with us today and when I asked him what he thought of the dress he said as long as she likes it then he will be happy. I think he is a keeper!!
