What a treat . . . I received my magazine a few days ago and have really enjoyed it. I had ordered one for sister-in-law for her birthday and she is really enjoying her.
Thanks Mary Jane and all your staff for another wonderful issue.

I love the new format of the MJF magazine too and the heavier paper . I am so glad we have the opportunity to continue our MJF reading together again. CJ I am intrigued about your old tools by the fireplace that belonged to your Dad. Also shilly shally is a new word for me and my little hand dictionary says it is a verb meaning show hesitation or to waste time. So how does that work with your handwork?? I am definitely confused over this word and how to use it.

Judith, I think that's what Mary Jane "coined" that for the cloth.

So many lovely items CJ! Your shilly-shally is pretty and I love your antique tools! What a fun collection to have!

The Cambridge dictionary, among others, gives an entirely different meaning of shilly shally. How did it become to mean a piece of cloth? Does anyone know?

Sitting by our pellet stove I have several tools, etc. from the farm that I grew up on. My dad used the big spouted can for gasoline for his machinery and the smaller one for oil for machinery. Of course there are a bunch of other antique tools that I have just . . . .well just because.

Outside I have more antique tools, an antique corn planter and some tractor seats. Yes, lots of memories.

Mary Jane was talking about making a shilly-shally. Well, this is mine . . it's a yard square and I did running stitch embroidery and my sister number and name . . . added a couple of yo-yos. Maybe I'll get more embroidered onto it, but it's okay if I don't.
