Have been posting sporadically here lately, as I've been working quite feverishly on a signature/warm_wishes quilt for last few weeks and it is now DONE!!! Yippee!!
Right before Christmas I learned that a co-worker, a gal who started working the same day I did (25 years ago!!!) was diagnosed with stomach cancer, which had spread to her liver and esophogas....hence I wanted to get this quilt done as quickly as possible. While Deb and I have since gone on to other departments, I've always felt a special bond with her because of our shared 'anniversary date.' So, I engaged another co-worker, who works in the same office as Deb, to obtain signatures & warm wishes from as many people as possible on her floor, on 29 6-1/2" x 2-1/2" blocks. Even the president signed one :). I collected them all two weeks ago (having done as much as I could on the blocks ahead of time) and have been working like a maniac trying to get the quilt done...it is not fancy by any means, basic blocks and stitch in the ditch with invisible thread, as the signature blocks are the 'highlight'. =20
I did take pics, but my main computer has been down (been using my laptop recently) and we just got it rebuilt with a new motherboard and CPU. My files are all still there (the hard drive didn't die, just the motherboard, and I had partitioned the hard drive into 5 virtual drives, in order to protect my files) but now I have to now reinstall all my programs. That will take a week LOL
Anyway, what a relief to have this quilt done!!
