Oh my stars and garters!!! I am thrilled to have won. I cannot wait to see all your hearts. I love that old saying!! You girls really know how to make one feel welcome. Thanks again.

Woo HOO! I wasn't going to have my name in this lotto but now that I see the blocks I'm glad I forgot to tell you! I'll do something fun with them. Thanks to all who made blocks! Kate

I may do this one as well. I want more Xmas colors and may go for maroons and various greens on white. I can see embellishments on the trees like beads and a star on top. Maybe too much glitz but I'm in my embellishment period right now.

Thanks guys, it was really fun and your encouragement was tremendously appreciated! I talked to my friend today, and he said that Aunt Jean was taken to the hospital at 6 this morning because she was having trouble breathing... they have her on steroids and antibiotics and are trying to prevent pneumonia... I better fly through the border tonight so it's ready tomorrow! There's going to be smoke coming from my sewing machine :o) I'm going to visit her tomorrow with my friend who is her nephew (they are keeping her overnight), but I don't really want to take this to the hospital because I don't want it to transmit germs or get lost, and I really want it to be a "just because" thing and not a "get well" thing, but I'm scared something might happen to her if I wait too long and she'll never get it...
