Indeed! You should have seen her run to the judges chambers when they called us up, all of her 95 lbs and 4' 8" tall. Nothing and no one was going to stop her from being adopted. It was both funny and profoundly sad as she had to wait so long. It was very hard on her and she lived in fear some...
She just turned 18 but has been with us for over 7 years. For a variety of reasons, we had to delay the actual adoption finalization till she was an adult.
Thank you! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving too. I was a little bit worried about the busy week but it all came together well and we had some really nice family time and too much food. We also adopted (finalization) one of our daughters the day before Thanksgiving so this was an busy...

I have no idea on patterns but maybe we should revisit some of the blocks we looked at before? There were some...
I get so many compliments on the colors of the manly 4 patch chain top I made from the swap on this board.

I do not think people see it as manly colors. they just really like the colors as do I.
So I would be all for...
Now I have mine in the mail, do I dare ask if we are planning another swap or are we waiting till January? I still did not put some of the swap blocks together while with others I am adding blocks and some I am quilting up.
