Default 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 :-)

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!

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

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.

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).
