Okay, I would be slowly strolling with a bag over my head so no one recognized the thief.

I've finally been able to finish an Art Deco Garden block.  My time has been occupied by finishing up a major heritage scrapbook album (I'm so pleased that this family branch is done!)

I love the colors on this one!  You sure do put a lot of effort in your scrap booking.  What a treasure that will be for generations to come.  

Congratulations on finishing that branch of the family tree! Your new flower is really nice.

I won't be here when you return but ill be happy to help you when I return.  I owe you and even if I didn't!

Love the pattern.  Good Luck.  can't wait to see it.

Please be patient with me. 

You'll see by my Kate Flynn thread I started today that I've been distracted.

Judy, take care if you find yourself hunching down over the machine to "see" those tiny pieces as they go under the needle.  I find that when I use a stiletto, I want to look even more closely at the stitches on tiny fabric pieces.  After 15 minutes or so of this movement, my back really starts to twinge, and your shoulders may feel that pain, too.  

Hope you find pain relief with some kind of medication, maybe even in a study.  I've been hearing ads for some sort of pain-relieving gel that can be injected into joints.  I don't believe it's any sort of steroid.  I wish you the best!

I am a woman who may take years to complete a quilt.  I will certainly be patient with you.

I haven't actually been quilting today...but did spend time in my sewing room...looking for a lost Inktense pencil ...Cherry Red...

I KNOW I had it when I came home from Road to CA...and I am pretty sure I had it at Retreat..but after that...no idea where it wandered off to......

I did find some stuff in my sewing room that I thought I had lost for sure...a small pincushion and a pair of embroidery scissors....and a spare one of the Comfort Thimbles!

I looked practically EVERYWHERE for that dang pencil....

HAH!! I finally found it!! in the side pocket of a bag I have looked in a bunch of times...this time I was 'feeling' for a pencil, not just peering in!

Now I can make my amaryllis bud!!
