Cathy,

now that I am sewing again, I need to start thinking about the challenge door hanger.

is there a basic size we are to use?   Can it be square?

I have something from the past in mind, but not sure if I can find it…can I do applique?  Does it have to be quilted or can I just turn edge it?  Or maybe even a finished raw edge?

i am not gonna get lotto blocks done….

13 lbs, that is little!!  She is a cutie and has found a great home!!  Lucky you.

How precious.

I'll bet.  Looks like you've been taking a break and doing machine work also.

Maisy will probably have to have a bit of heart surgery next week..

Maisy and all of you will be in my prayers for a successful surgery.

I need to watch.  Someone gave me directions but I really have to see it done,  (and find the directions)

Oh how I wish I could be at retreat!!!

We miss you too but totally understand.

Thanks for the link to the video.  It now makes sense to me.   I'll have to try it.

I have several panels packaged with some fabrics that seem to coordinate.  Don't know if I will actually make kits with the pieces cut yet. I probably have a dozen.  I'm sure they won't all get done but there will be choices.  I like to offset the panel and do some pinwheels, 4 patches, etc . one one side or the top and bottom if it is a wide panel.  More interesting than "slab o" borders".

Hard to go home and leave your newborn behind.  Also hard to see them with medical equipment attached.  Do they live close to you?
