I was thinking the same. I have discounted myself from Candi's as I don't think I fit with many of her clues unless she is trying to confuse me(not very hard I must admit). How about you do you fit the clues she is giving? Come on Kriscraft99 how about a little bit more of a clue? You know you want to.

Gday Lori,
I am just trying to catch up with all the Boards msg's and there is so many. I work full time and only get the time after work or on the w/ends to try and catch up.
On reading through i see that Marty is getting through her treatment. I remember 5 and 1/2 years ago on his 21st bday, when my son was going through the same thing, he had a rare Leukaemia and they didn't know how to treat it, so just hit him hard with radiotherapy and all the cancer drugs. It was hard to go through, but he had such a great sense of humour and made all laugh around him, which made it easier for him. There was one time where he had to walk the corridors of the hospital with his IV stand in tow and a sign on his back stating back log of wind, fall back, and the nurses would clock him each time he passed their station. We are now 2011 and he his a beautiful healthy young man now married. All my love and heart felt goes to you and yours through this time. {{{hugs}}}

Gday, I would love to join you in this project if you decide to go ahead. Please let me do something. {{{hugs}}}

Blocks would be 12" pre-quilted squares with 1" backing extending around so you can sew them together and Lori can do the sewing together! Here's a url on how to do it http://www.quilterscache.com/H/howto...neatatime.html
The backing would be different and perhaps if those who make a block could use muslin it wouldn't be so crazy ... but then crazy is good, too.
Sorry for volunteering you, Lori, but I am swamped right now and also making something special for each of our members who suffered a recent loss.

I'm horrible at clues, I'm not as quick witted (or sneaky) as Krystyna or Candi...
Let's see... my Pal lives a long ways from me. She is working on several quilting projects and likes an upcoming Holiday.
That's it.... that is all I can give w/o giving it away.
