Red stilettos I will send you a package myself tomorrow.
Thanks for sending the package CrazyConnie.
Barb
Thanks for sending the package CrazyConnie.
Barb
I just received a (mostly empty) envelope from crazyconnie. I don't have her on the list, but I believe this might be from Barb.
Both ends of the envelope were blown out. I have about half of the charms, along with postage due. This is the third one that I received damaged from a blow-out. One had all the charms in there, thankfully, but the other two, not so lucky. Just so no one else goes through this, please tape your ends
I'll try to post a pic once I can figure out how to resize it. I think it is failing to load because it is too big a file. So stay tuned!
Thanks much!

This is a beautiful quilt travelinggramma!
Barb - I can so relate. We moved out of our ranch house with full basement and attic and garage in to a fifth wheel! It took so many purgings - about two years before we left and than a year later when we were selling house. We still empty trailer every few years - totally - and ask the question "have I used it in the past few years? Will it really ever fit? " and then toss it. Memories are on a stick (somewhere!!) and I really don't miss the "things" Totally downsized my kitchen (if I have more than 4 people over than the paper plates come out) and really, just how many mugs can one use at a time? I do have a small shed that the memories are stored in, and a shed for DH tools but that is it.
Of course there is my stash - and although I do go through it and keep it organized - not much is tossed!!
Here is what I have been working on - and finally finished. Found the pattern in an old magazine using 2" squares so re-mathed it. I do love it - but the bias really made it wonky at the end!!
76 today 56 tomorrow and 40 next day at 5000 ft in AZ

Happy Birthday Red! Hope your day is filled with fun things to do.
Barb, Ok I know that you are going thru' a lot but here is one thing that helps me when in tough spots. I think to myself, ok, by this time next month (or week or day) this will be finished and done. It actually helps the tension. Does that make sense?
Have a safe trip jaba.
travelinggramma, love your quilt. There is another quilt that is similar I would like to make if I can ever find the time.
