Hi every one!
  I thought I would drop a quick note to let all of you know I have not 
fallen off the face of the Earth!  
  I have not been quite up to snuff the last week or so and have been "taking 
it a bit easy" .... 
 I do want to acknowledge that I received another house block today in the 
mail. This beautiful two story house block is from Pat Knox!  It is so 
beautiful.. I want to move right in... but then I would have to pack again 
and that is definitly out of the question!!!!!
  I am so far behind in the mail here and I know it is going to be a while 
before I get caught up... but I will get caught up I promise you that!!!
  During my up time the last week I have been "sitting" and did a "little" 
hand quilting on a quilt I am doing.. my hand quilting is definitly nothing 
to write home about ... but I am giving it a good healthy try anyways.. 
...   I look at a lot of my crafting stuff, most of which remains in boxes 
that surround me in my studio .
  I am also "trying" to make a log cabin quilt... I have never made one 
before... and I believe it will take me a while to complete it only because 
my energy levels are a bit low here lately...
  Today I also got out in the yard and sat on my back side and tossed a few 
"twigs" into some piles so they could be bundled up for the trash... I did 
that for about an hour was all and then came in to rest... and did a whole 
lot of nothing here for the rest of the day until now when I am writing this 
message to all of you.
 THERE IS STILL TIME TO GET INTO THE QBE FOR THIS MONTH!!!!  The blocks I 
have received so far are drop dead beautiful and I am so looking forward to 
others joining in the fun... and if you have never made a quilt block here is 
a good chance to get hooked on quilting!!!! .
  Julia
