    You forgot to mention must not be a "No Reply" either! Great finds. I got more VS when I was there on Sat (like I need more). May not be at quilting tonight. Laxy is in renal failure so dealing with SQ fluids and stuff. Back to the vet after my hair cut so I might not make it.

    Love your thrift store treasurers. And the quilt panel is beautiful. Is that a Bird Brain Design? It looks like the one that I have.

    Have a wonderful day.

    Hugs

    My heart goes out to Mama Spark - She & Laxy are in my prayers.

    I love the embroidered blocks. One of these days I am going to have to do more than cross stitch. I love the quilt rack. $5.00. What a bargain.

    LOVE the bird blocks. I'm new to your blog, and I'm sure you've probably told people before, but where did you get your pattern for the embroidery?

    Have you had time to play on the long arm again, or still extra busy?
