I just took my meds and so after mom and my stepdad are done talking about the event, I will go to bed.

"If you want to know the true value of a quilt, ask an old man who is suffering from cancer, and is feeling chilled all the time, to give you his flannel quilt.
Go to a neo-natal hospital unit where a small quilt is draped over a premature baby's "crib," to protect his eyes.
Ask a child to part with his play-time quilt, upon which he can play cars, before settling down for an afternoon nap.
If you wonder about the value of a quilt, think of all of the extraordinary wedding quilts of the past, exquisitely and elaborately hand-quilted with hearts and lovebirds...but which were so precious, they were never used!
Inquire of a soldier, returning injured from Iraq or Afghanistan, if he or she will give you the quilt that is draped around his wheelchair.
Go to a nursing home and view the beds on which 1930s quilts are laid. You will begin to get a sense of the strong ties to family past that these quilts provide. "
The woman who purchased our quilt was so happy with her purchase. She came up to us and said, "I have never owned a quilt before and I need to know how to take care of it." I was delighted to have helped this person get her first handmade quilt and thrilled that she understood it true worth.
That was so touching.

My grand total weight loss so far since March 17, 2010: 41.2 pounds. :) And we went on vacation for 3 weeks during that time. I am so proud of myself, I'm fitting into clothes I haven't fit into since before I was pregnant! Everyone at work that I never see has thought I was a new employee.
I've got at least another 40 to go, and then we'll see. Every 5 pounds I lose I get myself a little something, like a pair of earrings or a charm pack.
Soon the only fat quarters in my house will be in my stash and not on me.

I am new to this thread. I have been on the fluffy thread but just found out about this one.
I weigh in on Fridays and have lost 17 pounds.
I have 33 more to go.
On the other thread we are making quilt for ourselves. One block for each pound.
I am making a quilt with leaves on it. Each leaf represents a pound.
:-D

Congratulations on selling your quilt last night.
How many people were at the auction?
I retired from the Boy Scouts as their fundraiser. I know how auctions go and in this economy $200 for a quilt is great.
