Wow, what a wonderful package I received in the mail this week. I am sorry to be slow to thank you for it, but my little one has been very sick and I have had little time to hit the keys. Thank you for the material! I love the colors and am working on a quilt right now that it will look wonderful worked into! It has a mountain and daffodils and off white and greens, I worked in some apple print and the reds you sent me will look nice with the apples! The massage oil was such a wonderful treat! And I love Irish Cream, so when my sweet s/o rubbed my back, I managed to get him to use it. It smelled great! (Felt great too, but that was Rays rubbing I am sure...) Jamie ( my sick guy ) ate the heart cookie. He loved it, ate the frosting off and then ate the cookie. Thank you very much. I needed a lift and there it was in the mail - Tami --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: Covenant Family BBS Tacoma, Washington (1:138/228) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 172 CRAFTING Ref: E3H00046 Date: 03/12/97 From: WANDA GUIN Time: 06:27pm \/To: VALERIE MURPHY (Read 0 times) Subj: Re: Iron on Transfers -=>I distinctly overheard Valerie Murphy say to Susan Barrington<=- Valerie, VM> My sister-in-law makes Tiffany Eggs.

We usually play card on Saturday, will probably JAF> stop early since we were up so much earlier this morning to take JAF> Jennifer to the airport. Well I bet you tried to call and I wasn't home. Had to work all day until 4 and then we were invited out to supper and got home around 9 It was a very long day and I went to bed. Anyway I will be here most every evening this week after nine so just call.... Thanks a bunch. Sorry to make this such a hassle. Where did Jennifer go? Hope she had a good flight... that is something I hate to do.. JAF> So glad you are all doing better and he is back at work again. It JAF> will be no time and you will be there. He even got to teach the class one day. He seemed to know the DOS material than the teacher and really did a good job with it. He also got promoted already. The schooling was suppose to take three weeks and he is done after Wednesday. That is only one week of classes. They say he knows so much... :) I alsways knew he was a brain. Anyway he is excited and doing very well. I think he finally found something he enjoys doing! JAF> I know what you mean about thread. Let me know if you need more. JAF> Glad the Storyteller is coming along for you. Haven't done much on my JAF> PM's lately. Been busy with life around here. I'm hoping to get JAF> some done on it the next couple of days though while Jennifer is JAF> gone. Isn't it amazing what we can get done if our family members are gone. I know I get tons done. JAF> Hopefully you will start picking it up again and can join us again. JAF> All of the echos have been quite lately, guess people are busy. Well my hubby has already picked up all his fido mail in SIoux Falls. I guess he has already found us a BBS to frequent. So I am not going to worry about that end of the deal. JAF> Take care and don't work do hard. Never! I have an adversion to hard work.... We are having a mega meat sale tomorrow and so I have tons of meat to cut today and tomorrow to get ready for it... I don't even want to think about it. My fingers are so cold already... Take care!

I do miss those days of neighborhood parties and huge "gangs" (not real ones) of kids roaming the neighborhood playing their games..... The real world is so different.

Both baby quilts are done, fini, gone! One is already at its new home, the other is waiting for me to go to Nashville on Wednesday at which time I will hand it to its new owner! The only quilts that I am left working on now is a quilt for my son that is about 1/4th of the way done, and a mystery quilt that I do as the new installments come out. Next segment due out on the 15th. I did get a jumper cut out and sewed for myself yesterday and I have the material for three more dresses so I will probably do another one or two of those this week as time allows. I also need to whip this house back into shape. It is a little bit on the nasty side! :) Sorry, don't think that I will have the time to come help you sand blocks anytime soon.
