That's gorgeous, Susan! And your quilting is lovely -- you may recall

You should try the hooks - they are just as addictive!

I love the feathers on the table runner. And I like the way you quilted
ircles on the Warm Wishes baby quilt. I'll have to remember that one. I
use the pattern a lot.

I use Warm Wishes lots as well. I got tired of just stitching in the ditch.
I like doing gentle curves, and I wasn't too worried if they weren't all
perfect, just curve from corner to corner....

wow - I don't know how you can say you're not getting much done!
Well, I guess you did say that you FEEL as if you weren't, that's
different. Just another example of why we can't live according to our
feelings - you're doing a lot, and all of it from a well developed
generosity! Good going!
