Wow! Busy bees you have been! Sorry I wasn't around yesterday. I actually worked from home and sewed most of the day.

First off, I want to thank Laura for my wonderful secret pal gifts. It wasn't hard figuring out she was my SP! Again, Laura's generosity abounds! Thank you Laura - you are a sweetheart!!!

So I am fighting my anxiety this weekend. My DS was invited to go with my neighbor's father to spend the weekend with him, his wife and neighbor's son. I have not problems with that at all. He's done this plenty of times. My anxiety kicks in when I think about this 76 year old man driving my son and his grandson around. Also, they are going down to their river house later today and "Dagen" (the grandfather) mentioned he will warm the house up by turning on the oven and opening the door (I don't know if it's electric or gas). I know he's been doing this for years, but my DS is there this time. All I could think of my carbon monoxcide (sp). I told DS to sleep by a window and crack it open. I know I am worrying for nothing, but that's my anxiety kicking in. It is so hard letting go and not controlling every aspect of your child's life - and I have the harder years yet to come! Say a prayer for him AND me!

So I finished my latest quilt top. Let me just tell you it was a BEAR! I will never make a quilt that has matching seams like this one! ARGH!!! Anyway, it's done and not perfect for the professional but perfect for me so here's a picture. I prompty started my next one (gotta get this stuff done before gardening starts!). THis one is one I bought at the show last week and I just love the colors. I have cut all the pieces out and have the majority pinned together and ready to sew. Once that's all done (and providing seams match up), I will put it together and go on to the next one!

So here's the one I finished (thankfully!) yesterday. I will be sewing lots today so I will check back in later.

Hugs to you all!!
