I thought you were younger than I?

People trip up if they tell lies - so who was telling what - we all
want to know :-Þ

Must've been when I pointed out that, not having had children who will
eventually be older than me, I will never have to admit to being a day
over 25.

LOL! Hmmm. 49, huh? So that means in a few months he'll turn the Big
5-0! We'll have to have a party for him!!!!

That design is beautiful Joan! I love the poem! I'm sure your parents
appreciated it! Congratulations on doing that many Smyrna using metallic
gold!

It about drove me nuts but it did turn out really well.

Our Guild did a project with borders using over 1600 Smyrna crosses
but at least they were done with #12 perle cotton!

Metallic or perle cotton, that's still a *lot* of stitches! What was
the design? Is there a pic anywhere?

I just can say WOW!!!!!! Your parents must be so special!!

That they are! After dealing with some of the issues with DH's family
(and they were minor compared to many of the parents/in-laws stories
I've heard about here!) it makes me appreciate them *so* much!

I'll supply the biscuits-no need to bring gifts, unless you want to teach
him to do needlework.

The design is Called One Stitch at a Time by Patricia Ann Designs. There is
a picture in my album at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RCTNP/

The smyrnas are the two inner borders and all the lines that separate the 36
squares!
