today I was THUNKED! - a huge squishy from a great gal here :-) it *so* made my day!
now I can't stop myself from wondering what to do with it *all* while I'm quilting the monster! (which was going well till it made 2 nests in a row last night so I cleaned it and gave it a new needle, a hug and said good night to it - I can take a hint - it *was* 11.30 pm and he had worked hard all day for me so I can't complain really.)
