I feel bad that i didn't get my squares to Lynn. Unless someone did Delaware, NH and Connecticut, because I was not able to get them in the mail in time. I had other things going on like my son being sick and having surgery.

I feel sad because I said I would do something and I didn't. I feel like I let you guys down. MAybe I will do something with my 3 squares and send it ..

I hope you are not mad at me. i am glad he got his quilt though. That is wonderful

Don't feel badly, and no one is mad at you. I did those three states. I did them on the embroidery machine while I started to sew the quilt together.

I can't wait to be able to show you the pictures I have of the quilt. I'm not waiting for Tim's picture, I'm waiting for my husband to have time to get the pictures in the site for me. Last time I tried, I ended up deleting the picture and I'm still not sure what I did wrong.

Thank you for doing that. My life has been really chaotic, Our mortgage company has put our house on foreclosure status, With me out of work, we haven't paid the mortgage in about a year, so it has been hard here.

I bet it came out real nice. I can't wait to see pictures of it.

I have decided after I send the square for Brian's quilt, that i am going to stick with pillowcases for the time being.. Less stress,

This is going to be a bad weekend for me... Tomorrow will be 6 mos since my mom passed away, and I am feeling kinda down, and having a rough time of it. by the way, it was a Saturday too when she died.. Although they said it was the 31st ( just after midnite)..I will be okay. So looking at fabric is a tough thing, but I will get thru it and the SON shines again and again

I hope I didn't bring anyone down, I don't mean to. I just wanted to share what was on my mind,Tomorrow is another day, I will think of only the good memories I have of my mom.
