Hi ladies, Mel hang in there and practice using your other hand for the important things (ie: bathroom stuff, hair, handwriting) lol it’s rough. 
 

karen I too have a lot of civil war fabrics. I just need to get busy.  

I was so sorry to hear of your moms passing Judy,

I was able to post today finally. I can’t image the running back and forth between cities. Also what a surprise from DJ. I’m glad you made it home for his visit. Hugs

2 beautiful ladies!

Cause for celebration!  We had rain last night and it's only in the 90's today.  Supposed to rain tonight too.  Hope it waits until midnight.  It's Homecoming for my grandkids here.   There's a football game and a party.  Hope it doesn't have to be cancelled.

Ladies:  With the retreat getting closer (it is, after all, September!), I was wondering if anyone needs a roomie.  Let the line begin to form and let me know.  Thanks, Yetta

You are really thinking ahead!  I like that.  We hope to have the hotel nailed down in the next week.  We are plotting and planning already.

You Retreat ladies need to order this T-shirt ...  perhaps it could be given as a prize or something. 

(I've mentioned Karen Griska on the forum before because I've purchased her downloadable patterns which have very clear instructions. She also has a separate business selling T-shirts. This business is named Jack Friday for her father and has oodles and oodles of choices, many of which are about quilting. )

The paste below is page 8 of her Etsy page that you can view for some of her quilting T-shirts.
