Saw that tape measure and had to buy it for you-and for me!!
We played (my edition of) strip poker at retreat, I asked everyone to bring 30 precut 2 1/2 x 5 inch strips and we used them like money-great fun. people were far more protective of the strips they won that they would have been of money though!
Lots of great patterns there.
Sorry the kids weren't well, I know all about the "make up for me being away presents"!! The kids love those now! Tracey

Hope the kids improve quickly - I'm sure they will - kids bounce back quickly. i did about 4 hours in the garden today, so I must be on track.
Sounds like you had a great time in the big smoke and it is always good yo be home.
Love that little bag pattern - will order it tomorrow if I have time. Thanks for the info!
Hugs - Lurline.

Hi Donna,
What great patterns - especially the bag pattern - I will look forward to seeing your projects all made up.
It is so interesting to see the many patterns that are popular around the world. There are so many different kinds of quilting and in your neck of the woods - stitchery is so popular. You don't see that so much in the quilts around here anyway. The stitchery patterns are lovely and will make pretty projects.
It is always nice to have some new patterns to challenge you and to inspire ones creativity.
Regards,
Anna

Hey Donna! Sounds like you had a good news/bad news kind of weekend - kids not feeling well, then lots of fun pressies for your extended birthday. The deal is you don't actually turn a year older until the last present arrives, so enjoy the extended birthday celebrations! We'll look forward to seeing lots of photos resulting from your new goodies in future posts! Bear Hugs! KRIS (Tag Along Teddies)
