Her exceptional writing of clear, precise instructions makes it possible for me to have a winner with every quilt I make from her instructions. I gently mash them down every now and then with a spatula to kind of separate them and keep them covered in the broth. I will spare you the details of the week he and I have had but it has been probably the hardest week of my parenting career.

It no longer works (although DH is sure he can fix it - I threatened to do great bodily harm if he touched it before the new pedal arrived). My uncle's chihuahua, Bandit, passed away this week but the whole story about the last half (or more) of Bandit's life is pretty interesting.

No matter what, I will still be checking in with you everyday and following you and Vince on your daily adventures.

Of course I’ll still check in with you daily, as there is always something interesting growing, cooking or happening at Patchwork Times.I’m happy to see that you will continue to blog about your other passions and will check in frequently to see what you are growing, cooking and knitting! If you never post a quilty post again, know you’ve inspired so many others with all you’ve done, but you owed us nothing then and owe us nothing now.
