Hi Pat,
 PK> Too true!  Everyone is feeling much better now.  Tom we had to keep an
 PK> are all just very tired!
Now you need a vacation to get over the vacation. (G)
 RH> Sounds pretty.  My aunt is making Rachel a quilt for a wedding
 PK> I did work on mine during the vacation some.  It kept raining so I
 PK> sewed in the afternoons when it rained! :)
Are you hand piecing it or using the machine?  I like to use tha machine
because I'm so used to machine sewing and I like the speed of it.  That
reminds me; I did a simple squares quilt for Rachel for her second
birthday (twin size).  It's beginning to come apart so last year I had
her pick some squares for replacement patches, thinking she would use it
if she went away for college.  She stayed home and I haven't gotten that
quilt repaired yet.  I guess I will after the wedding as she still wants
to take it with her.
 PK> And mom gets a well deserved break too, right??  Good luck with it all
Thanks. We're at 11 days now but I can see the light at the end of the
tunnel.  It will be a busy week end at the end of the month; I have a
committee meeting at church the day after the wedding (in addition to
normal services); this is a committee that is working on a big project
so the meetings run longer.  Then, the next week end, we have to go to
the Phoenix area for our nephew's christening.  After that I can
collapse.
The dresses are coming pretty well; Rachel and Deborah decided not to
have me put the drape on the attendant's dresses.  It will save me some
time and frustration; now I just have to hem them.  Rachel's needs the
bow added, appiques and the drape put on, buttons and sleeves sewn on
and hemming.  Then I have to put together a simple veil and garter.  No
rest.........
Catch you later,
Ruth
