Kimber,
Congratulations! And Woohoo $50! I share your fear of being judged and honestly, I don't think I'm there yet but hope to be some day. But it sure is encouraging when someone like Ricky says that's how he started, isn't it?

this is great news and fun!!!

Thanks, Patti! No doubt on the encouragement, though I'm no where near the free thinking creativity Ricky possesses :lol:

Are you going to the guild meeting tomorrow? RuthAnn is going, so I'll get to meet her IRL (yay!)

[AlexAnderson]

this is great news and fun!!!

Thank you, Alex! It means a great deal for you to swing by and read my news!

I'm still flying high from the news!! It has inspired me to spend more time in my craft room (don't tell my boss :lol: )

[AlexAnderson]

Kimber--congratulations! We are all proud of you!!

[PattiSure]

Kimber, I'm dying to go and meet you and Ruthann. But unfortunately I've been in bed for 2 weeks with a muscle spasm. Yesterday I tried sitting for 4 hours and did OK but today I've been sitting for almost an hour and I can't stand anymore. If I don't get to work on Monday, I'll be in big doodoo. Anyway, I think I have to pass on tomorrow. (loud sigh and groan). But it sounds like a great session and I'm envious you and Ruthann will meet.

Get better, Patti!!! I don't think it's possible to quilt lying on your back!!! Bummer!!!

Way back in 1986, I had bunions removed on both my feet at the same time. The night before the surgery, I finished basting a large Lone Star quilt. The surgery was done outpatient, and when I got home that night, I wanted to start quilting, but since I'd had a lot of medication, DH said, "Wait until tomorrow," and I did. But the next morning, I found that I could hand quilt lying on my back with my feet up on a huge pile of pillows. Over the next 6 weeks, I did get that whole quilt hand quilted, working for hours every day, still with my feet up on all those pillows. When the hoop needed to be moved, DH did it for me, bless his heart. I still have the quilt. It's called Midnight Rainbow With Amish Ancestors, and there's a pic of it on my webshots page in the quilts album.

Pat in Rockport, TX, where it's still 70 degrees at almost 11 pm, I love it!

Thanks so much, Ritzy!

Patti - bummer we won't meet today, but you need to get better!! I'm so sorry you've been dealing with muscle spasms. Those are no fun at all!

Judy - I think Pat just proved you wrong :lol: It sounds like quite the weird position to quilt in, but where there's a will... ;-)

Pat - you're nuts!! Well, at least extremely determined :lol:

Kimber, I worked from 1982 on as a Psych-Mental Health RN. In a staff meeting one time, I said something about being eccentric. My boss chuckled, and said I wasn't rich enough to be eccentric, I was just nuts. My co-workers piped up and said they would go with looney, LOL.

Pat in Rockport, TX where it's 77 and sunny this morning.

Congrats Kimber!!

I wish I could figure out how you do it. I'm making MYSELF nuts trying to fold and roll a square to come out looking like yours! :?

[WandaM]

Congratulations Kimber! :lol:

Pat, now I've heard it all!!! :lol:

I'll try to take some pictures of the step-by-step and see if that helps you. DH said I need to write a how-to book on the fabric folding I do :lol:
