This an annual event which is huge and busy and such fun. In my head I could spent hundreds of dollars. In my head only. In reality I was most restrained and basically bought "tools". But there is everything you can imagine: yarn, fabric, notions, tools and machines. I bought my serger here several years ago as they tend to have better prices, if you are in the market. It is the perfect outing for sewing/quilting friends and I got to spend a day with my friend Julia. So my purchases included air and water markers, a silver choco marker and mini clips. I found a couple of sparkly iron-ons to decorate a couple of shirts (every girl needs some bling). A wool Christmas kit to make mini bags </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBuKZRDHmR87Ch4HbTmW2p7p5kI0AB5-fsqolCAquBbSgA2UhYaCtoarpDwKj1G1ANOT9KbjB-bT471BiEggcom8l4AKTajJrcuKtr5J8gxNVPyNAeQ4LtAUCm-wXsWr8d12PVCakV6D8y/s640/blogger-image-1728659632.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBuKZRDHmR87Ch4HbTmW2p7p5kI0AB5-fsqolCAquBbSgA2UhYaCtoarpDwKj1G1ANOT9KbjB-bT471BiEggcom8l4AKTajJrcuKtr5J8gxNVPyNAeQ4LtAUCm-wXsWr8d12PVCakV6D8y/s640/blogger-image-1728659632.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOCEmYEn9yg8a7ukkjYRSKlz47bhIARZUsrBNTLXUzLI_f0_CJMZxardS_jErSnrayDRcGMxrguF6rv7akYsJuDU5rKvgVnOJetOkLJwZd0fjPJTHcIu4DMRkGQSIs8schvXgfj-Vni6xM/s640/blogger-image--1404377612.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOCEmYEn9yg8a7ukkjYRSKlz47bhIARZUsrBNTLXUzLI_f0_CJMZxardS_jErSnrayDRcGMxrguF6rv7akYsJuDU5rKvgVnOJetOkLJwZd0fjPJTHcIu4DMRkGQSIs8schvXgfj-Vni6xM/s640/blogger-image--1404377612.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu2WSeuALcIW8pz-9RBaOLvowv3Z_a-8h23Win1L9isrfht-uOVYLCsJ0pYJYPypB41urRBfKV-0KZdMYvi6QiX5zCf01-eLX2Yv0a8sJpO-x2KSTAJ55t4ec8mezUdQh5Xwz11Fef7Dc1/s640/blogger-image-52530978.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu2WSeuALcIW8pz-9RBaOLvowv3Z_a-8h23Win1L9isrfht-uOVYLCsJ0pYJYPypB41urRBfKV-0KZdMYvi6QiX5zCf01-eLX2Yv0a8sJpO-x2KSTAJ55t4ec8mezUdQh5Xwz11Fef7Dc1/s640/blogger-image-52530978.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbWPKMzY54Xq0LO2H0bh2VqfVd2VQjMHz4mWU6KABQ6UuejHbnI8ve0g8jHTGEiYQ2Qnq0gHUH_FRnbxmfu3CHkxKxvQhuvxk2H88ijvkKK_0gPwaPEwvlbifSBNpjKDHdrBiXJeYvCsiK/s640/blogger-image-1540625073.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbWPKMzY54Xq0LO2H0bh2VqfVd2VQjMHz4mWU6KABQ6UuejHbnI8ve0g8jHTGEiYQ2Qnq0gHUH_FRnbxmfu3CHkxKxvQhuvxk2H88ijvkKK_0gPwaPEwvlbifSBNpjKDHdrBiXJeYvCsiK/s640/blogger-image-1540625073.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsOedPtS5FyskaXJn57f1JQNzdH00B-UeVqovn8rftpjfB2EKzRHh_e02i3Z8_RsCJpAAA9IOIALkOGF0ovOlDzgJljhIaw1i0Bhw_VksorhVzQu6_gHUB9ufVVnP4Hh4Xx6tKG3CUw8-O/s640/blogger-image-1283459854.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsOedPtS5FyskaXJn57f1JQNzdH00B-UeVqovn8rftpjfB2EKzRHh_e02i3Z8_RsCJpAAA9IOIALkOGF0ovOlDzgJljhIaw1i0Bhw_VksorhVzQu6_gHUB9ufVVnP4Hh4Xx6tKG3CUw8-O/s640/blogger-image-1283459854.jpg"></a></div><br></div>And then there were a couple of 'what the heck' purchases.

What has been happening at Nana's casa?<div><br></div><div>I have been able to spend quite a bit of time in the sewing room. I decided to work on completing the reduced size Mystery Quilt from Bonnie Hunter from couple of years ago. I do wonder if I have managed to rotate some of the blocks as it doesn't look quite like her reveal page, but this can easily become an extra-long twin. I may consider side borders with very smqll ones across the top and bottom. But that is good to get moving. I'm considering what to do with the extra blocks I completed but didn't use. Here's a thought:</div><div><br></div><div>In my neighborhood there is a group called "Buy Nothing". This group posts items that they are willing to give away or wish to have or need to borrow. Others answer these requests. I have loaned some tools and am today giving away a bag of fabric strips - for making string blocks, for example, and a bag of 2.5 inch blocks. I really have so very many. Another thing this group does is has Round Robins in which a box/container is circulated in which people make donations and others take things. Everyone is encouraged to only take a reasonable amount and to add some thing(s) that another might find good. Each box is themed and I have signed up for the fabric and sewing notion round robin. So (dramatic pause)...... I think I will add the completed blocks mentioned ablove and then someone can make something from those. Good idea, huh?</div><div><br></div><div>Days for Girls continue to have sewing needs. 60 kits were shipped out last week. I think they went to Jordan for delivery to Syria. I know that more are needed for a shipment being prepared for Africa. I have been sewing 'shields' [the piece that holds the sanitary pad]. This Saturday there will be a workshop at our church to offer folks the chance to help out - sewing skills or not. If you are local and read this, get in touch and I will give you the address.</div><div><br></div><div>Still working on the Judie Rothermel quilt pattern - civil war style where each block is finished and then joined together into a quilt. Binding, binding, binding. </div><div><br></div><div>I am very much looking forward to a trip to visit Emma Dere Veitch this spring. I first met her in the Netherlands. She and her family have now returned to living in France and Emma has begun offering quilting classes. I'm sure there are also embroidery classes, as she is a fabulous embroiderer herself. Friend Caroline will meet me there and we will have a girls sewing extravaganza, no doubt. Much to anticipate.

In fact, Caroline and I have talked about this more than once, but I have been a very bad blogger. So, with your forgiveness, let me try again.<br />
<br />
Welcome 2017. Such a busy time with lots going on. Busier days - as many have said before, How did I have time to work? So much going on.<br />
<br />
Here is some catching up and a peak into what's on the docket.<br />
<br />
We fulfilled one item on the "wouldn't it be fun" list. With a group of friends, we took a train to Leavenworth, WA, in the snow. And, in fact, it snowed almost all of the week-end. It was fun and beautiful and the tree lighting activities were so incredibly crowded. Probably would skip that part another time.<br />

Working on a quilt for the RV group's auction this summer - can't show you that, but here is a bit of a preview. I quite like it myself - so I'm not sure one can put a "reserve" on a donation.<br />

and of course, work continues on Days for Girls kits. We just recently sent 100 kits for Syrian women. This is a marvelous organization, should you be looking for a new charity to support. Your help would be great. Happy January. Let's hope that Nana can continue as she has begun.<br />

Oh so slowly.... As most of you know our big bucket list trip is only a few days away and I am trying to keep myself busy. So last week I managed to make 20 quilt blocks for a lap quilt that I think I will take along, to work on. I started playing with some Christmas fabrics and have finished 8 pieces for that (to make 2 blocks). I have been digging through my chest of drawers to find all the newest underwear and nities that still look good, which scarf goes with which clothes. All the planning - which container for pills, passport, check! I only have €40 so that will have to be enough until we get to the airport. Backpack? Shopping bag? We always try to anticipate whatever might come along. How many pairs of pants and which shirts? Jackets/coat - always a dilemma. <div><br></div><div>So this afternoon I am babysitting a friend's foster child</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN8PeN5b_Plve_bOiATXiAX223Ie8TJ5zOtkvfeSUzTImRJfkQZ6CQNXgC2W8z9F_TUK2jt6Kpwr4BZwJo8b3Q6tA0ghujCssJ9270ryr-W9GiByeTIj6GEmX2a_hR3ji_Xqdb6hQ-oPfm/s640/blogger-image-753720749.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN8PeN5b_Plve_bOiATXiAX223Ie8TJ5zOtkvfeSUzTImRJfkQZ6CQNXgC2W8z9F_TUK2jt6Kpwr4BZwJo8b3Q6tA0ghujCssJ9270ryr-W9GiByeTIj6GEmX2a_hR3ji_Xqdb6hQ-oPfm/s640/blogger-image-753720749.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Bottle done and now napping.

So I, of course, started a quilt. Still to add borders - one of the red and then I have made a piano key border. Yes, it will be busy, but I hope she will like it.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0NMFIL3U3OyIJhxg_y7NiFjZ9XRQ2Owb60gK67wFhOReJkPbbyuKUjKEUyJhsGWT63psd2dmleHihy1YGTSEFF9HEYF9WCSSrPqPhPPUD6c4bQ-k5o_StYD2mkp2FSOgsOo50Eaxj_KCv/s640/blogger-image-79626892.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0NMFIL3U3OyIJhxg_y7NiFjZ9XRQ2Owb60gK67wFhOReJkPbbyuKUjKEUyJhsGWT63psd2dmleHihy1YGTSEFF9HEYF9WCSSrPqPhPPUD6c4bQ-k5o_StYD2mkp2FSOgsOo50Eaxj_KCv/s640/blogger-image-79626892.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>Last night I got the blocks all sewn together.

With so many un-done projects that needed to be finished up, I really needed to "buckle down" and "git 'er done". Well, I have been and still am working on lingering UFO's.<div><br></div><div>That has continued and I have a couple more to show you - as well as a couple of items that snuck into the line-up. My sweet grandgirls needed the hem let down on these very cute summer dresses. They wore them last summerin a wedding and Nana had to make them a lot shorter, but they still fit so just needed the hem adjusted. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAl53UPH1qnGkEll4ycwSGcgJ2QHRx7cx11jCA6u1x3TAlleuqFe5y4CJAfFvg4vExGSBCOEj7f7813UXsEsid-jk6cKR0svMNkFeIZRNz7Qcgu6z4XPlqWLx1G3_ZaseiUvX9_1eQsH-t/s640/blogger-image-609514778.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAl53UPH1qnGkEll4ycwSGcgJ2QHRx7cx11jCA6u1x3TAlleuqFe5y4CJAfFvg4vExGSBCOEj7f7813UXsEsid-jk6cKR0svMNkFeIZRNz7Qcgu6z4XPlqWLx1G3_ZaseiUvX9_1eQsH-t/s640/blogger-image-609514778.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIkf-D6q6nq8euUpgYFT6LFTjjF9IdP9e2lXhueD83fO8DbT4vavZYiyrYlM7MN_mOnZgjrJgI9sS7vrNT7k3K-CBZWEYLnnaGoiFwQAGmeUle9HfkkgJ4YZDhfYOwi6A0lyfJAMIQfcU9/s640/blogger-image--784273759.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIkf-D6q6nq8euUpgYFT6LFTjjF9IdP9e2lXhueD83fO8DbT4vavZYiyrYlM7MN_mOnZgjrJgI9sS7vrNT7k3K-CBZWEYLnnaGoiFwQAGmeUle9HfkkgJ4YZDhfYOwi6A0lyfJAMIQfcU9/s640/blogger-image--784273759.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">These now need a good pressing. Funny story - a couple of weeks ago one of the girls asked me "What is an iron?". Like many (most?) young women today, ironing is incredibly old-fashioned and not often done. In fact, I'm not sure my son and family even own an iron. Good thing that Nana does!</div><br></div><div>A sweet tablemat, ready for spring.

I'mnot sure that is true, but I like making them and using them - a quick and easy way to try out a new pattern. This one is for my friend Christian. He has been so generous to share his dress shirts and this time, even 3 suits. So I carefully dis-membered them and at last - a new Table Runner. I hope he likes it. I even used one of his shirts for the backing.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkUbHjKDH55sxOj7ZeaN7-kW8ovQx2Ov6thxo2JIKfupWZXvhZmI8qnJbohWwwFJ7kHTHmXtpBUNNSBlAcZPc0meW9DmD-siOy3sAxC5_qWUlGtSpZESKa3AtAd71EcGrNjg-1RAB6siOU/s640/blogger-image--1230851208.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkUbHjKDH55sxOj7ZeaN7-kW8ovQx2Ov6thxo2JIKfupWZXvhZmI8qnJbohWwwFJ7kHTHmXtpBUNNSBlAcZPc0meW9DmD-siOy3sAxC5_qWUlGtSpZESKa3AtAd71EcGrNjg-1RAB6siOU/s640/blogger-image--1230851208.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkw7UON4PYixJOD1gAU-qAnx-0iZcg4H3ymYmy1lGtUDr2_FVfGDav_R4xFLsoOFawotCE2bWuBqSF0ruS2ens2b8R5nFTgkKteWx8rkzImtVp4WWJkPLT50-GP2dJV4wzGti9I0XzUGX8/s640/blogger-image-2106775459.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkw7UON4PYixJOD1gAU-qAnx-0iZcg4H3ymYmy1lGtUDr2_FVfGDav_R4xFLsoOFawotCE2bWuBqSF0ruS2ens2b8R5nFTgkKteWx8rkzImtVp4WWJkPLT50-GP2dJV4wzGti9I0XzUGX8/s640/blogger-image-2106775459.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It really isn't pleated on the back (as this appears).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Last summer I bought a kit to make a very fun pillow.

So much happening. Caroline was here and we were mighty, mighty busy. And then the huge church rummage sale to attend to - we work in the Books Department. And despite the growth of Kindle reading - we managed to sell more than $3800 worth of books. That's a lot of books!<br />
<br />
My on-going grandchildren duties and visits, another RV outing and then preparing for a visit to dear friends.<br />

While this wasn't her first visit, she had not been for a couple of years (!) so we had much to carch up on here in Seattle.

So it should have been a very simple task, but somehow it took the entire morning and a bit more just to change thread color and set up for just a little very simple quilting on my home machine and then make binding for each of these, and sew it on. Yikes. Now just to find some decent television to sit in front of, to sew the binding down.<br />
<br />
I have also been doing just bunches and bunches of serging of edges of pieces of flannel for Days for Girls - so I guess that should count, too.<br />

No so very important, but it is a work in progress - well on its way to completion - my word for 2016.<br />
Just need to find a back. The border - well that was just quite miserable and in fact, I can't even remember exactly where I got the pattern. The strips finished at 1/2". So go ahead and try it, maybe you can find a good way to do it. Of course, it is all bias edges so very unstable, but anyway - almost done.<br />

I was pretty organized with gifts and planning and mostly just let it happen. We didn't get a tree up, but did have a Christmas Lamp. Sorry I forgot to take a photo, but it is just one of our living room lamps but with the addition of an ornament I got during our annual Ornament Exchange - this year hosted by Brenda. So we were festive indeed. <br />
<br />
Christmas was mostly about the kids. It was so very nice to have all 5 of the grandchildren together at my son's,<br />

And then today was the first CTA Field Trip of the year. We visited the Bellevue Art Museum's "Counter-Couture" Fashioning Identity in the American Counterculture. It was primarily clothing and objects d'art from the 1960's-mid to late 1970's. Oh my what a "blast from the past" for some of the items. There were a few that we were not allowed to photograph but here is a sampling. <br />

Really very fascinating to see. We were told that the exhibit organizers "interviewed" more than 2000 items for this show. </div>

One of the very fun things that we did over New Year's week-end was to choose a word for 2016. Each of us was to select a word that described what we envision for ourselves for this coming year - not really a New Year's resolution but something that describes our attention for the year. Think about it - what would you choose?</div>

My word was "Completion" as I would really feel happy with myself if I can complete a few more of my unfinished projects. Thus far none is totally done, but I have made progress on a couple of things:</div>

I have also made great strides on two other projects (and the computer isn't cooperating with photos tonight) - one is a baby quilt with a unique border and I have finished 20-10" string pieced blocks and am well on my way to completing the piano key border. But photos will have to wait, I guess. So, I am "Completing". What are you up to in 2016?</div>

My biggest hold-up is the inability to get my photo program to work properly. Blogs without any photos are soooooo boring.<br />

So let's do a bit of catching up. Thanksgiving was fun and busy with 9 of us enjoying turkey and all the requisite trimmings. E's brother Henry came from Michigan and cousins from Everett came as well. Fun, tasty and a grand afternoon and evening.<br />

Several concerts and a couple of plays. Shopping and wrapping for our adopted Christmas family. I had a very fun day beginning the "catch up" with friend Julia. She had moved away almost 20 years ago, but has now moved back into the area. She took me to a marvelous new place: The Chalet in the Woods. Oh such fun!</div>

A charming locale for all variety of Scandinavian items. We were greeted at the door with a cup of coffee and a cookie and invited inside to wander to our heart's content. What a treat. Limited hours, but if you are interested I can tell you how to find it in Gig Harbor. And yes, Nana did manage to find a couple of Christmas gifts there.<br />

We also made sleep sacks for the babies in the same hospital, but once again, my photos won't transfer over. I am sorry. It is so frustrating.<br />

Here's one of the younger grands - just prior to Halloween. You may notice the fake braid and the blue gloves - all part of the Elsa costume. The same as half of the 4 year olds around the world, who think this is just the perfect outfit. Isn't Disney successful!<br />
<br />
Life is good and busy and perhaps I can get this photo issue resolved.<br />
<br />
We got a tree from the city - a long and convoluted process - and finally got that planted. We did discover what a dreadful layer of clay we have about 10 inches below the surface. But with a pick managed to break it up. Hope we were able to loosen the soil enough that our little Elm tree can grow. [Who knows where the pictures went.]<br />

That was today and it was great. They rep a lot of well known designers as well as a couple of lines of their own. If you buy any Laurel Burch fabrics or That Patchwork Place, for example, they come through Clothworks. This location in a very non-descript building is Wholesale only. But they showed us their entire process from receipt of printed good, to measuring it out onto bolts and shipping to their customers.<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Wy9d1U8n3gFS7r6G2cGtczFU-CDj2W3J3ySXn4XWYyxRVc0IY_3fsNfzcVTuKDfLSNz4yQ5lCUc0A9slu4QgNAFpwm3uCXP_tpulbIC1klRIk7_GppEZbLEeH-x4g4KbgaIKpyMAzxLx/s640/blogger-image--330332418.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Wy9d1U8n3gFS7r6G2cGtczFU-CDj2W3J3ySXn4XWYyxRVc0IY_3fsNfzcVTuKDfLSNz4yQ5lCUc0A9slu4QgNAFpwm3uCXP_tpulbIC1klRIk7_GppEZbLEeH-x4g4KbgaIKpyMAzxLx/s640/blogger-image--330332418.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0b5RTpuKiYKCEhcfwQYarlgeDJV9jOEtalpisC8KAVk1QD-l9ue_eJzb_AgFjHrWwlgTbU-hFYSQTsMiy7KfKfC17_puL2FNMP4KJ3cBz5HQpZSiiD3-vBPSicoJLPHiyux8oQKqHEVQd/s640/blogger-image-1062105199.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0b5RTpuKiYKCEhcfwQYarlgeDJV9jOEtalpisC8KAVk1QD-l9ue_eJzb_AgFjHrWwlgTbU-hFYSQTsMiy7KfKfC17_puL2FNMP4KJ3cBz5HQpZSiiD3-vBPSicoJLPHiyux8oQKqHEVQd/s640/blogger-image-1062105199.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We then had a very informative presentation on the growing, finishing and weaving of cotton in the US.

And as I needed to visit a quilt store that I was passing (need being the important word there) I found some "neutrals" that all happened to be on sale. And for one of them, as I bought the end of the bolt, I got it for 50% off. Now how can a girl pass that up?<br>

Especially if I dont have enough fabric to make the border that the pattern "suggests". And so one tries to come up with something that 1) works, 2) uses the fabric we have and 3) looks like it belongs. Realizing that I only had bits and scraps of fabric used in the body of the quilt (realize I did start this 2+ years ago) I got a border put together, attached and Im feeling satisfied. I probably will have to buy a back.<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiElt9XBwNkSHVGx5onQ66pzNhHkO52-bbdf6M5HaPQ_KGWbgh-ZXau5kevCmRR5gIrt1BWuE_NjcIEzBs6t7gvkTgeZVRKcVZJfSvgn9hvYfvBz6t2oGg0sTbEsyatNlMq8ARa179-bkzT/s640/blogger-image-2094367903.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiElt9XBwNkSHVGx5onQ66pzNhHkO52-bbdf6M5HaPQ_KGWbgh-ZXau5kevCmRR5gIrt1BWuE_NjcIEzBs6t7gvkTgeZVRKcVZJfSvgn9hvYfvBz6t2oGg0sTbEsyatNlMq8ARa179-bkzT/s640/blogger-image-2094367903.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Ah that all of life's decisions were solved this easily.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It was a real treat to awaken to the sound of rain.

Lots of discussion and finding samples and decided to get a "berber" type of carpet. Our big surprise was finding the newspaper from 1991 when the previous carpet was laid and the sign indicating that the carpet pad had been installed in 1974 - supposedly with a 50 year guarantee!
