Hey gals,
Please forgive me. I dropped the ball. I was out of touch for quite a while but am back with excitement to share with everyone again.
I'll post more later.

Hi all,
I just received a beautiful small quilt from Aunt Jenny. It is absolutely beautiful and I will treasure it always. She even put a special note to me on the back of it.
Jenny,
Thank you so much. I am going to place this where I can look at it every day!!

This month has been crazy busy......graduations, birthdays, dance recitals, and loved ones in the hospital. Next year, I will definitely have to make my May giftie before May.

Cindy Texas, your package went out! I'm sorry, but what I made took longer than I had expected. I can't believe that I forgot that my sewing machine was in storage! I finally found it in the middle of one of our 2 storage rooms, dragged it out, and got to work. It was a nice break from mowing, clearing brambles and branches, etc., and I hope you like your goodies.

Hey Bridge, what do you like, collect, etc? Also, I'll need your address, so please email me!!! :)
I love vintage fabrics, aprons (only have a couple, but going to make some more soon), our house is very eclectic. My kitchen is country red with black and chefs (for now, I may change the chefs, but love the colors), the rest of my house is reds and sage green, with some toile and other things mixed in. (Very eclectic! LOL)

Patty,
I think you mean Cindy instead of Catherine so I am going to respond. I am sorry that it has taken me so long to respond to you but boy have I been busy the last couple of weeks. I love gardening items and yes I love aprons in fact I only have one. My house is very French Country and my kitchen is decorated in blue and white with some roosters as accents. I would love it if you would tell me what you like and what your favorite colors are. I am sorry that I have not gotten started on this even though I am really looking forward to it. My e-mail address is cschoeppey@aol.com
Thanks, Cindy |

Catherine Texas, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to post this to you, but I haven't forgotten! What kinds of things are you interested in? Aprons, gardening, primitives, etc.??? Also, do you have any favorite colors? Any clues you can give me would be appreciated. I'm raring to go and have several blocks of time scheduled to work without interruption  . Also, if you could email me your address, I'd really appreciate it.
Have a great day!!

Thank you! 
I am just thrilled to do this! How fun! You made my day!
My Mom used to be what I called a "fabric-oholic"... I will be about 90 before I use up allllll of her stuff. However, I am a total pushover or novelty fabric. I make my daughter her own scrubs (she is a CNA) her patients really like the cute prints. Of course I always buy extra  , I enjoy doing decoupage...
Take care,
Carla...

JennyWren/Carla......I'll be glad to swap with you, too! I'll also email you to let you know.
Gals, I have gone crazy with fabric! Sales everywhere! Wonderful gingham checks, seersucker, homespuns, novelty prints, and never can have too much muslin! A month ago I had my project in mind. Now, I'm just confused and running out of time.
Blessings

Catherine, there's nothing to forgive! I'm just so grateful you do all of this that who cares if it's no right on schedule? With all the Easter preps, spring arriving, etc., I'm sure you've been really busy.
