Sue - #2DSon opened the jam & said that it was as good as mine. LOL He once said that nobody could make jelly/jam any better then his mama. He was so very happy! I have some prickly pear juice & pulp in the freezer waitin' till I can make it into jelly & jam.

Thank you. Dublb. think you are the first to open the jam...

Better call that virtual jet pilot to take us all to Hawaii ...complete with all the fowl population, too. Wonder if ducks can surf??

We are having our first big snow tonight/tomorrow..."they" say total accumulation could be 11-15". Schools are already cancelled all around for tomorrow. Weirdest thing...we've seen lightening/heard thunder a couple times...not something we're used to during a snowstorm!
Since tomorrow's a "snow day" I get to SEW! YAY! Bed time now....

Dublb hope you have fun in Brady with the Grandkids
QuiltE sorry about your Snowman
Anael you are your family are in my prayers hoping for a good result
GGal970 I am working on a pattern called Marjen for Error, it is a Dresden design with machine embroidery, I have only a few more blocks to finish and then have to finish the embroidery panels. Will post a pic tomorrow. there is always something going on in my sewing room. I will still finish the year with a few ufo's but that's ok.
Spent today in the big smoke with DS doing a bit of shopping and dropping off my Snuggle quilts at the Hospital. The staff loved them and one was given to a very sick girl while I was there. They have asked me if I would be interested in making a Queen size quilt that they can raffle. Will have to think about that.

QuiltE....sorry about the snowman. Sounds like you're ready to slow down and get a good rest.
Anael...thinking of you and yours.
JanR...prepare yourself for the snow so it doesn't get you down and your DH calls your crotchety again. I'm surprised that you don't like the quilting. You do such a nice job with it.
Dubib...blowing dust is not to my liking either. Do you ever get snow?
Carrie...merrily she sews along...nice snowed in pastime!
Mirabelle...I looked up that pattern and it's breathtaking! It was made with blue pansy fabric that was fussy cut and the embroidery is blue too. Embroidery machines make a quilt like that possible although I'm sure there have been some done by hand.
Today is shopping and cleaning. I got the sewing room straightened up yesterday and might sneak a couple of stitches but it will be much later.

QE--sorry about the snowman. Hope your meal went well last night!
Anael--you (and yours) are still in my prayers.
QNS--we too have had the jam, but I didn't want to share what the "surprise" was before everyone got their boxes.
Homemade grape jam is one of my favorites!!
Mirabelle--I am sure your many quilts will be a blessing to those sick at the hospital. I would like to donate a couple quilts a year to the hospice house where a friend of mine passed away last year...this year it was just a little hard. I have 2 half done, so a good start for 2013!
Ggal--with only having 2 kids at home and them being 11 and 13 I do trust them to not make a big mess of the house when I go to sew for a couple hours each afternoon. I can't say I don't have interruptions or that there aren't days where I only end up in the clubhouse for 15 minutes before it is just easier to come in for the day. Many days one of them comes out with me and works on a project of some sort...sometimes quilting, making cards, just drawing a picture, etc, etc. They have chores to be finished by a certain time. And they spend a lot of time outside too. School is always done before I sneak away.

Busy morning here on QB. Yes, the rain storm came through with couple of inches; here at home: another came with another inch; then the snow hit,leaving about three inches or so and is blowing about and getting colder today. The hens looked out and stayed in their building; ducks don't care, out they went. Guineas are in their pen. Yes, a sewing today for sure. Tornadoes hitting the South, I pray they take shelter and survive this nasty weather there.
White out covers all of Iowa, so take care all Iowans. Thankful we can stay put and wait it out.

Anael - I'm prayin' for ya again taday. {{{{{{{{HIGGS}}}}}}}}}
GG - Yes we git snow every once in a while. Last year it snowed twice. Good snows too, about 2-3". The year before, it didn't snow a'tall. Most snows we git are just enough ta git the roads wet when they melt, then we have icy roads the next day.
