So glad to hear your hand is doing better.how on earth did you quilt with it 
in such condition? good for you and your patience..
     What all are you doing for Christmas crafts.? I just finished making my 
daughter ( who lives with me ( and I new Christmas stockings ouot of velvet 
and are they beautiful..real rich looking, maybe we'll grow into it..we're 
not the kind to put on airs and they do look a little out of place in my 
home..oh well. they're pretty anyway..i think we've had out old felt 
stockings for about 11 years. so thought it was time for new ones.. You take 
care and drop me a line when you can..love hearing from you. Bye for now..
Happy is he who makes his home in the hearts of friends...Love Bettie
