Hi Carolyn, I don't have any problem with any of that... all water under the bridge... Someone mentioned at another board of writing down your regrets for the year and then burning it and moving on ... and that is precisely what I have done... I don't know what you may have gathered from OHH, but I have always maintained that I am Christian, but I am not Christ, and I am not perfect... but I AM as good as the rest of the OHH'ers whether they believe it or not.. With that being said, I do hope that we can and will move on.. and that you will not judge me based on the "Bully Squad" and their opinions.. Happy New Year... CS

A good one.A good laugh.But its so good you get to spend time with your granddaughter.I am glad you get to laugh and enjoy each other.That is what we all need to do more is spend time with our family and try to blot out all the sad times of the world and just try to laugh and enjoy our family.Glad you posted this.

Just so well captured...Great photos...The sequence of them draws you in....I really like the blues, shadows and reflections in the 1st one!

Everyone has been so busy! Linda, I love that table runner... very nice! Kate, how did it feel to get back in the saddle? I decided to make a practice quilt because I'd never done sashing before and I want to make sure it's going to go well before I waste good fabric... I decided to do 9 squares, each 5 inches square with 2 inch sashing between everything. I picked some ugly scrap fabric since it was just a test, but I kept cutting the squares wrong, partly because I wasn't paying attention and partly because I don't understand the new omnigrid ruler... I kept ending up with 5 x 4 inch rectangles instead of 5x5 inch squares... I finally got them all cut out. I began sewing and kept getting a birds nest (I'd just brushed lint out of the bobbin case area and I never get it back in right the first time)... I decided to take a break and go back to it when I feel more ready. I missed a deal on a great sewing machine and I'm a little sad, but it probably wasn't meant to be. A seller listed a Bernina 200 (without the 730 upgrade) and I wrote the same night, but he said he'd already promised it to someone else... I don't know why the ad was still up, got my hopes up for no reason! It was probably ovepriced as that is a pretty old machine by now and he was asking 1000 for it, but I knew Berninas keep their value. The search continues. Looking forward to the upcoming quilt show :o)
