I like these new ages. MaryAgnes is 16! And such a great quilter. Anne, I think she must have started quilting when she was 2. I started sewing Barbie clothes at 5, but quilting at 2. That’s amazing!
Oh, ranchmom, sometimes you can’t be dyslexic to save your neck. Oh, that’s what the chickens are trying to do. They heard you say that you are making soup. I bet they are hiding in the coop now. Probably behind those nice curtains we made.
Diane, At least you still have your sense of humor. I cracked up when I thought of you hopping on one foot to the potty.We will send you some chicken soup, that will make things better. Maybe ranchmom will supply the chicken, and Mari will pluck it. She probably wants the feathers for her next project.
MaryAgnes, I love looking at the city lights from planes, I bet seeing Christmas lights was wonderful!
I love Thanksgiving. All you have to do is cook and eat. Except for that one year, instead of eating turkey, I gave birth to a little 6 lb 13 oz turkey. We call her Laura. But that was ages ago, I think maybe 33. Yeah, my turkey of 1976. And she was a bicentennial baby to boot!
Ranchmom, why do you have to bring the cows to a different pasture for winter? Why do they get a summer home and a winter home and I don’t??
Well Howdy, Judith! Welcome to the group. Are we supposed to be making Christmas gifts here? Oh no, I am in trouble now.
Anne, Does Barbara quilt? Or maybe sew? I bet she does.
Mari, you would not believe this, I am almost finished quilting the flip flop quilt. I love vacations when I get to stay home and hide in the quilting room. I think I should be able to finish it tomorrow, then you can see it.
Hoppy quilting!

Thank you Mari. I'm happy to be here with all you great, feeling, fun, friends. I'm waiting for my purchase order to arrive...want to try some of your mug cozies. If I do a good job...They will be given as Christmas Gifts. Looking forward to trying them out. My best friend, Barbara, was here visiting with me today. Wanted to know if I had any patterns for making bowls...??? You can guess, what I'm going to get her for Christmas. I've already given her one of the pears, and a partridge. She gets so excited....More than me. Love Anne

Anne ~ I love your advice! What a positive person. I'm so happy you joined us!

RanchMom ~ You are absolutely right about that chicken soup! If I'm going to join you all in the Hen House I can't bring chicken soup! Your chickens will protest! They'll peck my eyes out when I'm sleeping!

Judith Welcome!!! Well, to begin, I suggest you take a look at all the discussion forums particularly the Gifty Galore Guidelines. That forum contains pertinent information about how this Quilt Along works. All the patterns come from the books listed above in the menu. Most of the projects come from Pretty Little Presents. That book is loaded with a ton of quick, cute, small projects. You can't go wrong with it.

I wouldn't worry about being ready for Christmas. I never am and when its all over it doesn't matter! LOL!

Since I am new to this group, I am not sure how it all works, but I am a quick learner. I gather that we will have access to some of the patterns for the quilt gifts that I am seeing in the video. How do I go about getting the patterns? Christmas is coming soon you know. Don't know if I will be ready.

Hi Diane so glad you are back with us. Take care of yourself and do not over do. We want you back with us all the time. Wow your christmas decorations I think I am doing good if I have them up by the first week in December.

Oh I guess the hen house is an odd place to find homemade Chicken noodle soup, it did not even occur to me that I would be asking such a thing of the chickens and they must of heard me coming, could not find any chicken so made vegetable beef soup instead. It was yummy, with hot bread. My Cowboys ate big bowls of it when they came in this afternoon from round up. (bringing the cows to a new pasture for the winter).

Hi Diane...I'm so sorry to hear of your troubles...but, just hang in there...When it's that bad, it can only get better day by day. Bless you. I've been battleing mouth cancer for 9 years, with so many surgeries...I've lost count...but with friends and relatives...like we also have on here., You just keep going. You have to stay positive. There is no other way!!! Remember when life gives you scraps, you make quilts. Love to all today, Anne from MA
