Okay! Okay! I opened the candy to see if it was "movie worthy", Lara and Anna. Definitey is and the box is taped shut now! I started to spread some of it out by the quilt but was afraid you would think it was a present from the Peach! (He is a good boy and wouldn't do that!) What great quilts are coming in...I love all of them. I wish I had gotten in this swap with the 1st one..I have an idea...if everyone made me a little quilt I would have a stack of them, too. What do you think???? Sounds like a plan to me. LOL

Well, I learned the word as uff dah back home in "Minnysoda", (DH confirms that's how it is spelled in that state) but oof dah works just fine. It is a general interjection used for almost any purpose--golly, wow, whew, jeez, and other words not fit to print. Often used when completing a difficult task. Also, as Krystyna said some number of posts back, the name of a game. Also the name of a rock band in the Twin Cities.I am tapping my toes waiting for the mail carrier, because my quilt ffom mamaskeeto should be coming. Will post pic later. Can't sew--my eyes are still dilated.

My goodness such beautiful quilts have come in since the last time I posted. I have been hand quilting a quilt for my cousin. Needs to be done by the 6th. My hands are so sore and a bit swollen so decided to take a break. Uff da is the way my Gramma Sammy said it, with one hand on her hip and the other mopping the sweat off her forhead after rolling out a batch of lefsa or frying her huge raised donuts. As a child always to it to mean: Oh, my sore aching back or thank God that's done. What wonderful memories.
