    Lara, that's my blurred eye stitch. No more black on black for me at least for a while!

    Robin, what a fabulous quilt! I love, love, love your color selection and layout! Lucky Brenda!

    Back to work. We got a delivery of vintage books today ... about 2,000 of them ... long story ... but they are from an estate that was sealed up since 1957 and opened in 2001. I purchased a ton of stuff then and the sellers just contacted me to say there was more! YAY! But they need to be cataloged and de-stinked by packing them in plastic bags with kitty litter. I'm going to be feeling it tonight!

    Nancy in Louisiana, how have you been holding up through that awful storm? Hope we see you posting here soon and you are doing okay!

    Krystyna - how in the world do you put all those books in kitty litter? Must be a zoo sized litter pan!

    Robin, I love your colorful baskets. Beautiful piecing!! And the tiny blocks in the corners are really cute.

    BuzzinBumble-enough litter for the whole zoo or just one elephant? I had wondered the same. Are any of these books about quilting? What do you do with these books?

    Thank you krystyna! I will be patient . Crocheting dishcloths helps with the frustration , anger sometimes about things!

    for some reason i was dropped from this thread. i'm reading thru and have made it to page 18 and it's 2a.m. my quilt for mooretll is finished. i will put the label on it, give it a kiss and tuck it into it's own secure packaging--- and then wait for debbie to send me her address! oops! almost pulled an elisabrat!! my creation is "amish inspired". you KNOW i couldn't follow the directions completely, right?!! hope she enjoys it!

    Hahaha! No kitty litter box! Grocery bags. They're layered and the litter sprinkled in the layers. I sure hope it works. Only four more cases to go!
    Sorry, but they are not quilting books but Catholic children's books with the most gorgeous illustrations -- from 1905 to 1947. Some pop up Christmas books, too!
