Congrats Bev on the sale! I'm sure it was hard to leave your home. Hope you take many happy memories with you.
My daughter did a barbecue for her neighborhood and it was a really great thing. They got to know each other and it was the beginning of a really caring, tight-knit neighborhood community.

Wish we could help you get settled in!

Dublb, bet you'all feel better about everything in one place. We are still sorting from eleven years ago move in...and I am throwing stuff away or giving it away. Too much was on my shoulders then to sort it all out like I should have. The push was to load up and go...dh was physically sick with his neck and shoulders and pain that would put him down and out. We later found it was is bone spurs on his neck vertebrata that caused so much pain. Our ex-landlord drove the truck or helped dh drive it and I drove the van all the way back without anyone's help. . . .all 1500 miles of it. Glad I don't have to do that again!

Working on the two S&W quilts....trying wrap them up. Was not satisfied with neighbor's quilt, so I am ripping out or re-cutting some major border pieces to do it right for her. She was not that experienced in triangular piecing. Butg she is learning fast.Now that three are done...working on the three more...not bored at all working on them.

Cooler weather here; hope its sunny where you are. Have a good day.

Can't wait to see those S&W quilts, QNS. S&W is always pretty.

We had our first sunny day in a week today... but coooooooold! Temps dropped into the teens overnight and today it was in the low 40's with a bitter cold wind. That's cold for Mississippi! We have had a fire going in the fireplace round the clock. So nice and warm and comforting.

I'm doing the Mystery Quilt but also have a big 'push' on to finish some crocheted slippers for my DSIL. They look like tanks-- military tanks-- on your feet. He begged me to make them for him, so how can I say no to my favorite (and only) SIL? After that I might try some simpler slippers for my other 2 sons. We are taking a family trip this Christmas so we agreed not to buy any presents bigger than some stocking stuffers, but I might have one gift each to sneak in. I have some aprons made for the girls, my DD and DDIL.

Sign ups are open for the new Boom swap! I had so much fun doing the last one that I signed up again. I got some awesome blocks and love my quilt.

Hope you all are keeping warm and finding your joy.

Moving is such a chore (when you have lived some time) that it makes me tired just reading about it! When you are young, and have not much, it's a more pleasant adventure.

Well one is a substitute; the Lemoyn Star (Sp?)
Flying Clouds liked to have ate my lunch!

Love your blocks, Bev... is the whole quilt red white and blue? I missed out on that QAL...

OK, I think I have about 42 done. I also have bought some patriotic panels to add in.
I am gonna say that even though I only have a wood burning stove to heat the house, it does get cold down in Brady. But not near as cold as any of ya'll! Well I guess ya stay warm JeanieG, now don't ya? Anyway, it was cold this last week but is gonna warm right back up for this next week.
Yes, SBG, I bought my first fabrics before I even got the book. Sigh. Don't ever do that! I have to make several sub's as some of these blocks don't look right, to me, in my RW&B.
