Not only that, but I didn't do the illegal activities, but I get to pay for them. I didn't sign the bad checks. Why should I be held responsible for the nonsense he pulled the 3 years before he died. Isn't it enough that I have to go on and raise my children alone? This just really hurts.

I have been working on a really neat quilt for a special quilter in our forum. It is pink and purple fuzzy fabric (a little like shag carpet only much softer). I backed it with a pink purple and blue squares with snowmen in the squares. The pieces go together so well, I am excited. I couldn't really quilt it because it would smash the furry side so I am tying it from the backing side at the corner of each square. I'm using pink/purple varigated thread and the ties don't even show on the furry side. YOu can still feel the Knots, but they don't show. I used a 100% cotton batting. I'll post pictures when I get the camera back from Sarah.

Yesterday I finished the cutest shoulder bag/backpack. The strap has a zipper in it so you can unzip and the straps are long enough to make a backpack. One is purple panseys with many of the purples I had left after sharing with another quilter. The other is this mod 1970's/80's fabric. The background is lime green and the flowers are hot pink with baby pink polka-dots.

I spent most of my day sitting on my bed putting the final touches on those bags.

I'm getting tired, think I'll try sleeping again.

See you all tomorrow.
