Hello Teresa!
Sent off some mail to you Monday, two packages!  One is the MQBE from me,
the other is my sister's MQBE.  She was here over the weekend and we had
a quilty weekend and got all of the blocks done for the exchanges.  We
each signed our blocks and I mailed them since she works days and it is hard
for her to get to the post office.  You should have them soon!  Hope you like 
them.
Later!,
           Pat

YEP!!  My house!!! (Why does that "My House" song run through my mind when I 
say that?)  We had soooo much fun!!

Susie, cook is a four letter word!

Wait till the MQBE and the QBE's arrive at the winner's houses.  They are
great!!  Susie really did a wonderful job on them!  I had given her full use
of my stash and my scraps so she had fun just picking out the colors!  Sue 
didn't tell everyone that while at Hancock's I gave her a belated birthday 
present of a quilt tote bag, you know, one of those big ones that holds all
of your tools and fabric for a king sized quilt.  She had carried her stuff
up in plastic tubs (overflowing ones at that).

Glad to get you out of lurk mode!  Have a good day Susie.  Oh, are we still
on for the swap?  I keep Elizabeth and you take Chris?   :)
Later!,
           Pat
