So, Barb...since you asked...here is one of my tea wallets (minus the tea packets, which you slip into the four little pockets). It's perfect for tossing in your purse or giving as a little friendship or get well gift.

Well if you started with 1 1/4" squares you'd get a 9 patch that measured about 2 3/4... So you need to take generous 1/4 inch seam allowances and you'd probably end up with 2.5" 9 patches. But WHY do that to yourself? LOL!

Sweet little tea wallet, Peg! It looks like it could carry a few credit cards, too.

Hello Ladies

I went out of town from Tuesday until Thursday with my mom. We went to Cincinnati to visit with one of my sisters. We had a nice time, we shopped, scrapbooked and made fairy gardens.

I came home on Thursday to having our weekend with my son and his growing family. I love when they come.

My mother in law had surgery today to remove her uterus. It was filled with cancer, she will be going through Chemo and radiation. She is a very strong 81 year old.

Today (june 19th) is my anniversary. the day kind of got away from us...with surgery and the family in town. (35 blissful years (LOL)

Tomorrow Saturday we are going to my daughters and celebrate my step grandson's birthday. He will be 11 on Tuesday. After Tyler's party we go to my brother's house to celebrate my nieces granduation.

I will be going out of town on Sunday to my son's house but I should have the internet available.

BARb
