    Hello everyone

    Looks like August birthday's are coming along nicely. Thanks so much for the early arrivals.

    Update on my mom. Surgery was July 6th on her shoulder. She was suppose to get out of the rehab center on the 21st. She is still at the rehab. She is not eating and has lost about 15 lbs. (Does not need to lose weight .) so she is just a skinny lady now. They have started her therapy on her shoulder yesterday and seems to be going well. Not very much pain. (good thing). So I have been busy working(catching up after a week off)/ and visiting with my mom. So I am sorry that I have negelected the QAL.

    next post.....contest!!!!

    QAL..recap...other posts...1513,1515,1576

    Step 3 cuff

    fabric size 16" x 7"

    Keep in mind that when you put a name on this piece of fabric you want to put it in the top right area. Name is above the fold.

    My name is: 1 1/2" in height.

    I don't know really how to explain this any better. Here is a photo to show you what you need to do. This is the only time you will be able to get a name stitched on the stocking. With that being said I was going to buy an embroidered iron letter and just give each an initial.

    next week we will make the lining.

    Barb, when I take photos I have to use my iPad which when I send the photos in, they show up upside down. I have to take my photo upside down so it is right side up when I down load it.
    Hope that makes sense!
