Checking Back In

Hello All--it has been a while .Let me see if I can catch ya'll up on the Needles. Well, we have been really busy. I finally finished my Starry Night Quilt... in our pictures it is the blue one with white stars with the Siamese cat on it. I put a light blue star print on the back and hand quilted it . Sue is going crazy on her Crazy Quilt -- hopes to get it finished by Christmas--going on three years in the making. Sue's telling me now... be sure and tell them its a SUPER KING SIZE --yea right Sue... don't make excuses!! Ha ha! Lisa has been working on a beautiful Bargello quilt--small strips--1 1/4 strips... very tedious. Carol our new Needle is now starting a Log Cabin Quilt--she and Lisa went shopping for fabric Sunday and they chose some nice colors--I think the pattern is a Courthouse Steps--(Log Cabin) Roseanne has not been able to come to Needles that often---she is helping out with caring for her parents--she has a lot on her right now--keep her in your prayers. Diane still doesn't have legal adoption with her two little girls, but hopefully it won't be long.She hasn't been able to come regularly, either.She hopes that will soon change. Last month we went to DollyWood and visited Gatlingburg--We really had the best time--We also went to the Dixie Stampede-- a dinner theater in Pigeon Forge.It was so much fun. We saw Vincent and Dailey (International Bluegrass Entertainers) they were really good. Now we're back home trying to get some work finished. We are making plans to go to Nashville together sometime in December to celebrate Christmas. So Long for now--Happy Quilting--quarter of an inch!!!!
