I was beginning to think it was just my shelves that were a bit disorganised - thank you for putting my mind at ease! .....that sounds kind of rude, but I done mean it that way. I have too many books and too little space so they are all piled up at different angles and double, or sometimes treble thickness. For someone who is normally a hit anal about tidiness, I kind if like it!! Love the quilt too - would have loved someone to help me with my first attempt.

My daughter made each of her grandmothers a flannel tie blanket, with the school colors on alternate sides. Both used for chilly soccer and football games, track meets, and baseball games. When mom and dad passed away, she inherited her gift back, along with all the memories.SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485146123969622896noreply@blogger.com
