"Kris, I just love all the goodies you made for gifts. Scraps are good for something. Some of my favorite things I have made started out as scraps from other projects. I love them because when I look at them I remember the things…"

Gail Brown commented on Riana Noyes's page 2020 PHD Challenge in the group UFOs
"So, Mary you found 2 ducks on line. Wouldn't it be swell if we only had two ducks to line up for our PHDs? I know most of us have rather large flocks of ducks to deal with.
Riana, I was looking on line at Barnes and Noble and they…"
Gail Brown commented on Riana Noyes's page 2020 PHD Challenge in the group UFOs"Riana, the book is still published, The copy I found recently and gifted to GGD was a more recent publication. It's such a fun book and would be really great for your Grand Daughter."
Gail Brown commented on Diana Engdahl's group Swapping "FUN" is for Everyone"All these blocks are darling. I would love to get involved, BUT, I am doing UFOs and PHDs and I have lots of both to do. I promised myself that I would not start another project, especially one like this that has a deadline. I do…"
Gail Brown commented on Riana Noyes's page 2020 PHD Challenge in the group UFOs"Mary, so happy someone else know that it is a "real" story. I loved the swan boats. I hope the ducks are still there and that there is someone to help Momma get her babies across the street."
Gail Brown commented on Christine Brown's group UFOs"Wilma, how beautiful. That will be a very special keepsake. I love tee shirt quilts, have made several for grandchildren. Have one more bag of shirts and that will be a PHD."
Gail Brown commented on Christine Brown's group UFOs"So sorry Barbara about your baking misadventure. I hope all turns out well. I'm not so crazy about being a finicky oldlady. I have a great friend who is at least one generation younger than I am she, lovingly she says, calls…"
Gail Brown commented on Christine Brown's group UFOs"Liz, I have found that there are always a few that are attending just for the entertainment. My guild when I lived in Florida was a very large one, usually 75 or so attended our day meetings. There was one gal who had belonged for many…"
Gail Brown commented on Christine Brown's group UFOs"Love the bugs especially the bee and the caterpillar. "
Gail Brown commented on Riana Noyes's page 2020 PHD Challenge in the group UFOs"This whole endeavor makes me think of my favorite book when I was a small child, " Make Way For Ducklings". I recently found a copy, a new one, and gifted it to my Great Grand Daughter, age 4, Scarlet. I love reading it to her just…"
Gail Brown commented on Riana Noyes's page 2020 PHD Challenge in the group UFOs"I have backing for all my planned projects just need the batting. Hubby has spread the word among all the children that gift cards for Joanns is my great wish for Christmas when they ask. I'd like to be able to get a 20 yard roll of…"
Gail Brown commented on Riana Noyes's page 2020 PHD Challenge in the group UFOs"I'm with you Linda, nobody told me about ducks! I heard about organizing [a very weak spot for me], getting my list ready, etc. I didn't know about ducks! Where do we get the ducks?"
Gail Brown commented on Christine Brown's group UFOs"Barbara, I love the poem. Makes me think of all the Christmas Eves I spent putting on binding, finishing the last of the embroidery or tucking in the ends on a crocheting project. Each time I said never again, I won't let this…"
Gail Brown commented on Riana Noyes's page 2020 PHD Challenge in the group UFOs"Linda, I like the idea of writing it down in a list like you did. It is something that I can look at every day to remind me. Having several things on the list will allow me to put one aside when I'm tired of looking at it and…"
Gail Brown commented on Christine Brown's group UFOs"Elizabeth, I can't wait to see the Pansy quilt. I love Thimbleberries so much. I have the patterns for several of them that I haven't done yet and want to start but, I must finish what I already have started so I can earn my…"
Gail Brown commented on Riana Noyes's page 2020 PHD Challenge in the group UFOs"I am getting things lined up and on the starting line. Big sale this weekend on a 20 yard roll of cotton batting at Joanns. That should get me through quite a few of the projects I have lined up."

Gail, feel free to take part in all the discussions. Sometime in January I will be asking to see who wants to participate next year. Then I send out questionnaires. Secret Santa sisters will be assigned usually in April. Then you have all year to work on things for your SS box. We mail them out around the first Saturday in December.
This year we had a couple of contests. There are discussions all year trying to find answers to questions that maybe weren't on the questionnaires. We post tutorials for gift ideas. We have general discussions too.
So welcome to the group. Take part so we can get to know you for next year!
Linda
