Joan best of luck to your sister. My Mom is recovering nicely from her her broken hip

Joan, Its so heart-breaking to see a loved one face the challenges your sister is facing. My mother is 84 and living with me. Her life is difficult and she gets very depressed. It is good that you are able to be close to her. I hug my Mom at least 3 times a day and we make a big deal out of it. She always smiles.....Huggums are the best!

AZKat,

This is a picture of blocks made for me from the Jade 2-month group and RAB2 Boom that will make up the 25 blocks used in the Christmas Sampler Quilt I am working on - to be finished with binding and photo posted on QB Christmas Eve before midnight. This quilt will be 112" X 112" (king).

Thanks to each of you who made the wonderful blocks in this quilt. Currently I am sewing blocks together in row (3) three. My Christmas Quilt and your Christmas Quilt....photo posted here on QB, by midnight December 24th finished with binder. Just in time to start Boom 14(?)

Terri, to bad envelopes cant talk, is that swapper still around if she's like me that quilt still may not be done :-) Does this mean you are finally home from your visit?

Joanlizbay, I'm sorry to hear about your sister I hope she heals quickly, it's nice she can be where you work though.


Bee Beatty, that is so pretty there are some beautiful blocks going into your quilt.

Billi, she's DEFINITELY still around (sometimes here, sometimes at the Jacob's ladder thread. Yuk, yuk!) and I can guarantee the quilt isn't done. ROFLOL![QUOTE=Billi;6969373]Terri, to bad envelopes cant talk, is that swapper still around if she's like me that quilt still may not be done :

still cant get picture to post on tablet. will do it monday at work. thanks so much for the kind thoughts about my sister. shes very lucky to have her kids close. i definately agree about hugs and just talking to residents... they get so little interaction with their families...some have noone. i justhate to see my sister that way. shes 19 years older than i am and was like a 2nd mom!

Billi I had already sent a replacement block but will send this one on it's way, I certainly don't need it. I made it home yesterday, roads were perfect. No problems at all

BeeBetty my mom has also been suffering with depression since she moved into assisted living. she needs more help then my sister or I can give her. It must be so hard giving up all your independence, she has a much better attitude now and that helps
