Gosh, what a glorious event. Did you ever think he would be back to that past time by the end of this year, or ever again? {{Hugs}} I can't say how happy that makes me. WOWEE you have been busy. Four quilt tops ready for layering. Ugg. I hate that part, though, so I would be dragging my feet and sewing those zippers instead. No need for them to by nagging you! Do you quilt them then or does someone else take over? Oh, the fun you'll have planning on how to best use those donations! Some may not be to your taste but it still is fun working with new fabrics. Take care, my friend. ~smile~ Roseanne (and don't worry about a reply please - go zipper!)Home Sewn By Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943739387560629258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-62874444059030143292020-11-16T07:39:37.115-07:002020-11-16T07:39:37.115-07:00Is that latest piece the Creature from the Foggy L...Is that latest piece the Creature from the Foggy Lagoon? I really like the gray and orange together! The slightly darker red border on the strings looks completely intentional. And better that you changed dye lots between strings and border rather than mid-border!<br /><br />I admit that I teared up a little bit, seeing Bruce with his banjo! Partly because I'm so moved that he can play again and partly because I've heard some really bad banjo playing in my life. It can bring tears to your eyes, for sure. My nephew plays, and it's a good thing I love him. Let's leave it at that. I'm going to assume that Bruce MUCH better than that, though :)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-81802375319316370372020-11-15T15:08:26.447-07:002020-11-15T15:08:26.447-07:00That's a lot of scraps!

Mom also plays Piano. She had carpel tunnel surgery on one hand years ago, and was a crabby human because she couldn't play for 6 months, and then couldn't play well for another 6. I can't even imagine how nuts she would be, if she couldn't play because of an amputation!<br />Good on Bruce for figuring out a work around!Momma Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215840942640904965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-81237324569120317342020-11-14T11:31:12.427-07:002020-11-14T11:31:12.427-07:00My goodness you have had a busy week, so many quil...My goodness you have had a busy week, so many quilts waiting to be completely finished.
