Quilting Damsel in Distress Saved by Quilt Buds

Quilt Therapy Posted on by

I sent out an SOS the night before last, asking my buds in our little quilt group if any of them had some time to come save me from myself.  I had the “You May Go to Hell, I Will Go to Texas” quilt all ready for binding – but, with the shape of my hands, there was no way that I could finish the project.  And the young man graduated tonight (Friday) and his party is Saturday.  EEEEK

But, thanks to the kind and loving souls that I attend quilt group with, two showed up today (though six offered), and we whip-stitched our way to completion!

The only thing I have left to do is to print a tag to press onto the back, and then I can wrap it and it’ll be ready to go tomorrow night!  woooottttt

A huge thank you to Theresa and Donna for driving out to the hills for some quilting fun – oh, and don’t forget the delectible brownies, too!

Happy Brother

My youngest brother, Jed (not his given name, but it is his real name cause we made it up for him when Jed Clampett was popular – and that’s what siblings do, make up names for each other — mine was Bird, in case you wondered) sent me a very excited email this morning.

I am divorced !!!!!! Everything worked out GREAT !!!!

I’m happy for him.  It’s been a long haul to get this far, and there were many factors involved that should have left their noses in their own business.  But, it’s done.  And he can move on with his life, with his new love.

p.s. My hands ARE better — but, I still can’t get my wedding ring off.
