Do you have a hill top research in your area? That gets me out of house, mtg people while getting an honorarium (income) for being a participant. Then, I vltr for an organization fruitshare.ca in summer, and vltr for Seniors without walls in winter.

They also have interesting things just 1-2 a year like

bunching tulips tog for their lung association fundraising.

Along with those fundraising comes a vltr brunch appreciation night. (free meal)

Hi lady-

What's the latest with your health? Sure hope things are going well....

Can you believe how fast the holidays are creeping up! I am making placemats for the boys using Star Wars fabric. They actually will use them! They were in a Fun Run race at a local apple festival. Usually, they screw around waving to the crowd or running backwards. this time they decided to try. They coming to the finish line and the youngest was winning...they started fist fighting!!! They rolled across the finish line...We were laughing so hard about wet my pants. Our son was being interviewed by the paper because he had won the 18 mile race. He could have died from embarrassment...I told him payback hurts!!!!

Take care...Pam

Hello lady-

How are things going? What course of treatment have you decided on? Share only if you want. Thinking about you and know that you are pushing forward. Stay strong.

The cause of my eye problem could be from bad surgery, then having another surgery to correct first a few months later. Too much swelling, which can cause you to go blind. It also could be something else, like in our genes.

Thank you very much for the compliment on my photos, Shannon! That is very sweet of you. You are a wonderful lady, too!

Thanks, Shannon, but I think I've decided to just use a suitable substitute from my stash.  It will be fine.  I'll probably be the only one it bothers - or maybe who even notices.  I'm on a deadline with this one, otherwise I'd take you (and everyone else) up on the offer.  I was just a little frustrated because what should have taken me a couple of hours to whip up has turned into a longer project.  I am over my "rant" and realize this is a very small problem in the bigger picture, so I'll just roll with it and use something else.  I'd like to think it was a mechanical mistake - like something done at a factory (do they use machines to cut bundles of FQs?) rather than a deliberate deception at the quilt shop.  

Hope all is well with you.  We've had really  nice days mixed in with bitterly cold days.  Seems like the weather can't make up its mind, so we've had some 73 degree days followed by days of subzero temps.  

I am still figuring this site out and didn't see your note until just now.

I'm in Lacombe, Alberta and looking forward to getting to know some fellow Canadian quilters.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read my first blog entry! Not only couldn't I believe she'd saved that darn coat for over 20 years, but I don't know where she had it hiding! It may have just been hanging in her closet all that time! lol
