Yep, had to make her blocks. They are part of the BOM exchange, each of the 4 of us in our group, made 4 blocks of \"our block\" and gave it to each of the 3. At the end of 10 months we each had 4 sets of different blocks. Those were a single block, not made of 4 quarters.

Remember the pink on white blocks I pictured? those were the ones that Marie & I were doing. Each month the block was slightly different as you can see from the heart quilt (another participant in our group made those blocks).. I still need to get it quilted. It is 62 x 76. I have not started on Marie & my blocks, I am hoping to design something cool on EQ for it.

We were very blessed in our group. EACH and every month, all of us turned our blocks in on time. Sometimes we needed help from each other, our machine was down, or our design stick was corrupted, but we made it every month. The other groups were not as responsible, some were REALLY bad. I would have hated to have been saddled with one of those!

I have always had sleep issues. I am not much of a TV watcher, but back when we lived in Boise, I would watch one episode of some series just before bed. When Ben was alive, we would watch TV together in the evening, 1 or 2 episodes of a series. I have not had TV on since he passed 2 years ago. Generally, I read before bed to wind down. Sewing and other creative outlets are too stimulating before bed.
