They have a Dr that comes from Iowa City to do them here in Ottumwa on Fridays and we are hoping that I can get it done this Friday. Am waiting on a call from them.

Lori, i get them as much as i am allowed and for me they really really help, i hope they do for you too. they can also do something called radio frequency that helps me a lot, but try the epidurals first. they don't hurt, you'll be knocked out, but you will have to have driver to get home....

Modennie was SO good to me. She sent the most wonderful, perfect package and it was so darn early I absolutely did not expect it. I didn't even get to stalk! Boy did you ever surprise me! I have never gotten a swap package so-o-o fast! One of our other board members, Ddlbug, is here visiting on vacation and we were galivating around the Florida Panhandle sight seeing and fabric shopping.

We could not believe all the beautiful things she sent me. Those fall fabrics are breathtaking with the matching variagated thread. The Moda Kansas charm pack is full of beautiful prints. The little "Peaches" chicken pincushion is the cutest thing ever. I can't wait to try to make one of those. Moedeenie did a beautiful job on him. I love the snip scissors, patterns, coffee, post it notes, sweet little fall cup cake wrappers, buttons, calender and darling fall socks. She sent a long sweet letter that let me learn a little about her. I hope I get her as a swap partner at some point so I can spoil her too.

Thanks again Faye for the lovely PM you sent! It was my pleasure to put your package together this month.

As Faye noted on her status sheet that she was planning to make a Buggy Barn Crazy Cat Quilt in Fall colors, I decided to put together an Autumn themed package. I sure hope you will post pictures of your Crazy Cat Quilt when finished!!!

Take Care and enjoy your visit with your dear friend! If she isn't already signed up, maybe she will join us next month!

I promise to post a picture of my crazy quilt. I am still collecting fabrics. You know how that goes. My friend is a participant of the swap and she loves it too.

Well, How sad I just realized I forgot to mail somethings to my SP. So guess that means she will get another package from me.

Also made a nice bag of novelty fabrics for an 8 year old boy who started quilting. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-144994-1.htm

Getting rid of more of our homemade wine at the convent. Those nuns seem to go through a lot of it! :shock:

Krystyna you are so sweet. Emi going to love getting all that fabric. One day he may grow up to be another Ricky Timms and you will have been a part of that. Also some swapper is going to be very lucky to receive all that fabric. I hope you have a wonderful day.

The drives are at 8:30 am my time (Iowa)which is 3:30pm Central Africa Time and then again at 11pm my time which is 6am their time. They drive all around and stop to talk about the animals they see and is very educational. I am addicted to them. They also tape them so you can watch when you are able .

Sitting here wondering how much longer I have to wait before we can start the Oct swap. I got my package so early this month. I guess I will keep the ones waiting on the bench company.

Lori I hope you are able to get the epidural on Friday. They have suggested that I give it a try, but I'm not sure about it. I had the radio frequency done on both sides of my neck at the end of December and it extremely painful. Not only the procedure, but for 8 weeks after. Then not to have it work. I hope they to put you out like greenini said. After all the pain of having the other procedure done I'm just kind of leery.
