Bigbearlady is here, too Was: I'm back
That is a bargain! I would die and go to heaven if I could get 6 yd for
$1.50! If you ever do bump into her, say hi from me and tell her I send her big squishy hugs :-) Shona in NZ "Phyllis Andersen" wrote in message ... I don't know her, but I often visit the Senior Citizen Thrift shop, both to shop and donate stuff. It is a great place and I even found 6 yards of new fabric once, for a total of $1.50. That was my bargain backing! Bigbearlady "Shona in NZ" wrote in message ... Hello Bigbearlady! I am one of those 'new' folks. OK, So I gotta ask....do you know Gladys Tingle? She's my Granny :-) She lives on Sugarloaf and is very involved in the senior centre and thrift shop in Big Bear. Nice to 'meet' you Shona in NZ "Phyllis Andersen" wrote in message ... Wow, it has been so very long since I have even lurked. Well, since someone seems to think that I have "passed on", I figured I'd better set the record straight! I just got so busy after buying the second cabin. Lots of work, gardening included. Now things have slowed down, wouldn't ya just know? It is sure good to see a posting from Sarah and I'm relieved that she is still kicking, even if slower than usual. This gal can really "YeeeeeHawwww!! I've heard it myself. When I tried to find you all, I couldn't connect to the ng. After going to the "Help" area of ATT Worldnet, I figured it out. I'm so dang proud of myself! Even though I haven't been posting or lurking, I have started quilting again. I did a king size String quilt, using a different design than usual. I like this one. So does the dog, when she joins dad on the bed :-) I also did a lap quilt alternating nine patches and snowball blocks that finished to 3". No pastels in this one, folks. I like this one too much to give away yet. I also did a baby quilt with leftovers from another project. No baby in mind, but maybe a wall hanging? I did a large lap size with lemons, lots of lemons, along with a few strawberries and daisies, in yellows (of course) and deep blues. I also did a twin size in pastels....I know I'm probably the one who likes pastels....in a Log Cabin pattern and machine quilted it. I quilted all but the King size. I'm not crazy! I'm currently working on one, using a pattern from the 'net. It is called Faux Log Cabin and uses large pieces. I think I would like this pattern better if the pieces were scaled down, but it did go quickly. I need to add two borders and then send it out for quilting because it will be a queen size. I guess I will put this in one of the cabins, since it isn't my favorite. Now DH's aunt wants me to make her a wall hanging size for some new quilt hanger she was given. So I will drive to Reno (9 hour drive each way, folks) to see what she wants. I know she wants blues, but I get to pick the pattern. She also wants to learn how to bind a quilt while I am there. I haven't made any long Road Warrior fabric buying trips in a long time. I'm still working with the fabrics I bought on the other trips. I sure have enjoyed Sandi's (in Canada) info on her latest trip. She is the true Road Warrior and I pass my title on to her. Weather in Palm Springs is hot....unless you like 112, but who does? Big Bear is delightful at 80F with chilly nights. I just spent 8 nights, which was wonderful. I don't move as fast as I used to....getting too dang old! But I keep plugging, even though parts don't work too well. Hugs to all of you....folks I remember and new ones I'll discover. Bigbearlady "Sarah Curry" wrote in message ... And I'm back, too, folks (and really can't say how long this flurry will last, as you've seen in the last year or so). |
