Some wonderful books, A can of basting spray ( I have never used basting spray before but wanted too), A beautiful quilt top and fabric galore. blocks and fabric to complete them. I just can't hardly believe it.
Then later the mail man knocked on my door with a medium flat rate box full of scraps for the charity quilts and 3 stuffed TY animals for little man. I wish you all could have been here to see Elijah when he saw the toys. He took them gave them a big hug then put them in his toy box before brother and sister saw them. He has never done anything like that before, it was so precious.
At times I forget how kind others can be and everyonce in while I get a reminder.
I just had to share with you all. I won't start a thread about it because last time I posted about a big box of fabric I received and someone had the nerve to PM me asking me how I get ppl to give me things for free. Needless to say it just pissed me off. It made me feel like I had been begging for free stuff. I am not that kind of person and I told her that in a not so nice way. I have never seen the B on the board again.
Ok I am done rambling. :-)

As for patterns I make, I like to use mylar when I can get my hands on it to make patterns because it is exceptionally durable. I also have some clear Plexiglas hexagons from the 1980s that I use for making the paper medallions for medallion quilts.

If I didn't lose something this week I am killing myself. I have been so good.
Today
breakfast.......yogurt with 1/2 jar baby prunes......I love prunes. I usually have oatmeal but forgot to set it up last night. yogurt was easier. I can't function when I get up.
Snack 1/3 c of all bran cereal with 1/2 c milk.
Lunch............pasta with fresh garlic, olive oil and romano cheese
Snack a handful of potato chips......I was really hungry and Joyce left them on the couch where I was sitting. It was only a handfull not the entire bag.
Dinner........Salad with lettuce, tomatoes, red cabbage, onions, oranges, navy beans and creamy raspberry dressing. Along with applesauce, it was only 1/4 c.
I can still have a snack so I am having whole grain bread with tahani and a glass of milk.
