yes, just spoke with Brenda by text; she said they got 18" of water in the house, but feel grateful it wasn't more, and they already have workers coming out to begin repairs.

She sends her love, apologizes for any further delay in sending her rows out (which may become just strips of fabric at this point), and of course I told her we all say don't worry about that.

Overall she sounds relatively positive, considering, and appreciates the continued prayers/good thoughts.

Thanks for the update. What an amazing person she is staying positive.

Glad to hear that Brenda is safe, and appreciate getting the news.

Dear all, I am so sorry I haven't kept up with what is going on with the group. I am safe and dry and have not had to leave my home even when there was a foot and a half of water downstairs. I was so excited, I had gotten all my fabric out of bins and onto the shelves. My sewing machines were set up. My mid arm had a home finally. My sister had made a bunch of rows for row by row experience and I constructed the top and embroidered a label on the back. I had my spread sheet out and was working on Dawn's row when the rains came. I expected a little water, maybe 6 inches but nothing like what I got. A week after the flood I finally found the basket with all my rows from you guys and the notes you had sent with them. Luckily they had all played well in the pool together (no one discolored anyone else) and they were still so wet they hadn't mildewed any. Unfortunately they were with the envelopes to remind me who sent which row and gifts. I am adding pictures of them drying out (while I still had a kitchen counter). If you would be so kind as to let me know which row was from you I would appreciate it. Oh yes, I made a mass mailing today so you each should be receiving something from me soon. I think Houston mail service is running on a regular schedule now, so be on the lookout. I just wish I had been able to piece a row for each of you.

one final picture. I think that is all of them.

Hi Brenda great to hear from you! My row is the nine patch blue/sea glass blocks with the umbrella/sand square in a square blocks.

Take care Barb

Barb, your row was all by itself still in its plastic baggy without one drop of water on it after sitting in a tub full of water for a week!

Glad you are safe. So sorry for all the trouble...
The row I sent you is the one with the boats on point.

Hi Brenda! I am so glad you are safe and an extra bonus that your machines and fabric made it through ok. My row is in the second from the bottom picture, second row down. The blue pin wheels with sun and sand surrounding them. Have fun putting them all together.

Brenda, the row I sent was in the final photo, curved piecing of a Cozumel beach at sunset (in an abstract kind of way) -- sand colored curved strips, then water colored strips, then sunset and blue sky strips. It's the bottom row in the bottom photo.
