Thank you all for the warm welcome. I'm applying for the 2nd mortgage on the house so I can send everyone chocolate.... didn't someone tell me that was the Proper thing for a newbie to do??? I have spent time looking at as many of your websites as I could find, and I am absolutely blown away that so many of you sent me -me?? - compliments on my work. I have so far to go, but the trip looks like fun. Several people asked me about my red/black quilt. I found the pattern in a library book - Scrap Saver's 101 Great Little Gifts by Sandra Lounsbury Foose - p.46. The wonderful ladies who have been helping me learn to quilt worked it out so I could make a bigger one. My finished one is regular bed size. I have the stuff they figured out somewhere. If anyone thinks it would help, I'll look for it - a good excuse to clean up The Room. I also got the pattern for my teddy bears from that book, but I enlarged it 60% on a copy machine.
I'm already asking for favors... I keep seeing people ask for Joann's coupons. I'm going to visit my daughter tomorrow and there is one right across the street from the camp she is directing. We don't have any close to me, so I'm very excited.... even more excited if I can get a coupon.
Thanks again!! BJ in Georgia
