"Happy Thanksgiving to eveyone and your families. We are having a quiet one here at home, just Hubby and I. It will be very different from what we are used to, but just to be safe and still be here to celebrate next years holidays…"

"Barbara, If you like documentries you might want to try The Windsors. It's pretty interesting, starts pretty much with The present Queen's grandfather up to the present day. The historical part of it is especially…"
"Riana, I knew you'd find it, your so organized, it had to be with the Lighthouse stuff. I would have been burrowing through totes and stacks. All neatly stacked and folded in those totes, and for me that's pretty good. I love…"
"Elizabeth, I'm so sorry that you could not have the surgery. I would think that you would have een told at the pre-surgeryappt. that you would have to stop the blood thinners seven days before surgery, it certainly seems like that would have…"
"Barbara, Your Stars are beautiful and your embrpidery touches are really pretty, makes it even more special.

"Zoe, I love the border fabric, looks like it was specially made for your quilt. What's the chance of finding something that matches so beautifully? Your friends are going to love that quilt, I know I would.
Elizabeth, I have always…"
"Zoe, working on those UFOs soundslike a good idea. I could do that for the next ten years and not run out of something to do. Haven't seen some of them in so long that they are like new again to me. "

"Chris, all I can say is FABULOUS! I admire your skill and patience and ability to consentrate, I know all of that is required to turn out such a piece."
"Elizabeth, it sounds like you have some great fabric for mug rugs. For many years I belonged to an on line group that did Secret Pal Swaps every month and as a result I have a lot of mug rugs. I use them all the time, switching them out…"
"I tried working on my Red, White and Blue but still can't manage it, to heavy for me yet. Still working on smaller projects that I can manage and gettinga lot of them done, it's like Christmas shopping."
"Ihave made tons of place mats. They sell really well at craft shows and make a fast gift when needed. I probably have seven or eight sets myself, some seasonal and some every day ones. They are a great way to use up extra blocks."
"Riana, I don't think I survive a completely "sew free" diet, perhaps crocheting or embroidery, but some kind of hand work. Idle hands are the devils workshop and I get in enough trouble with out having idle hands. I have…"

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
