If you use the search button at the bottom of this page for KraftMaid , you will find several threads on the subject. I've been looking at KraftMaid along with all the other cabinets too. Although there are numerous posters who have not been happy with their KraftMaid order, there are also several who have had no problems. A KD that I spoke to at a kitchen center told me they used to sell KM but were now going with a different brand and she said that usually Lowes and HD make their $ now from the installation. So if that's true, perhaps like Flowerchild, if you do your own installation, you could save quite a bit. This same KD also said that KraftMaid does offer a lot of nice bells/whistles but do not offer as much custom in their "semi-custom" line as some other semi custom brands.

Magothyrivergirl, you lovely blocks came today. I can't believe how easily you've transitioned from sewing sails for boats to quilt squares. LOL. Odessa, I'll gladly send you some veggies if you win this month's lotto. I can't tell you in what condition they'll arrive, however. I was up at daybreak hoeing weeds, and chasing rabbits out of the garden. I don't know how one got in last night past the electric fence, but the new cabbage plants have been attacked. My husband got 'bit' by the fence yesterday, so I know it's working. Micyrey, your first blocks were beautiful. If I'd have won them, they'd be put right along with the rest in a quilt. I think they'd have been fine, given the leeway of the fabrics, perhaps as a center interest. I'm really excited by the cache so far. This is for sure going to be on my agenda for a quilt as soon as I finish up my UFOs.

Give it a try! You can call it quits just as quickly as you give it a go so there's not much of an investment. I don't have any experience with with anything other than wordpress, so not much here in the way of advice, but it was easy enough to get started with Wordpress and it took over four years before I made it to the data limit for free storage space. Now I think I spend about $3 a month for the additional space. I'll second Hoover boo's comment that you meet great gardening friends, but I'll also agree Facebook and instagram seem to be eating away at the blog world. It's so much easier to scroll through pictures and read pithy memes than it is to invest three minutes in reading a blog post.

Pumpkin Prince X Remembered Kisses is a nice big flower. It will be moved to a select bed. Heidi Hugs X Tom Adams is a richer color than this picture shows. Little Red Bantam X Randy Stephens is a small flower. I hope Chomp X Happy Holidays to You gets less splotchy. The picture does not do justice to the intense color of Apache War Dance X Sea of Cinders. That's all for today. Nancy
