Quilting Heidi

Merry Christmas!

Madelyn, Maddie is doing really well. She came to stay with me last weekend, it had been a while. I couldn't believe how much she grew, now almost 5' tall! She is just as sweet as always and is such an easy kid. It was the first time she actually talked to me about her mother and the whole situation. I know she loves her mom but she also knows that it wasn't her fault. She told me that mommy "made bad choices." She knows it wasn't daddy or I trying to keep her from her mom too. It is amazing she is such a good kid. Hopefully I'll see her more now.

Cathy you are so kind to continue to pray for our family. We have been so blessed and when I think how scared we were 1 1/2 years of what was to come I'm just so thankful to all those that lifted Landon up in prayer and I truly believe that made a difference. He is the sweetest little guy who is always willing to share a big wet kiss. We so enjoy the twins. Yes it is exhausting and by Friday I'm worn out but getting my baby snuggles times two is just so wonderful. I'm up and about all day but the babies are no different than other kids, as soon as you sit down and they think you have noth

Gail yes I have an older machine 2008. I had Dave service my machine and he did it before he started being unreliable, sadly I would not recommend him anymore :-(. APQS provides really good directions. I really do love the new ruler foot.

Lin I can't imagine living that far north. It is too cold here in upstate NY for me. LOL The babies miss being outside every day like we have been. I hope you arm heals and you can get back to quilting. I know I've missed it.

Well I came to the forum for the first time in months and I'm shocked at the attacks on Jessica and her brother David and even Deloa. I consider them all friends. Judi I'm truly sorry that you don't have a working machine but that is 100% Dave Jones and sadly those related to him are paying the price...not fair. I have to say that you will NOT find more honest people than Jessica or her brother David and any attempt to link them to their father's poor business just isn't fair or necessary. Deloa's business is actually now separate from Dave's business. Deloa is in fact married to Dave but

Hi All, It has been so long since I've been on the forum. I don't get much computer time these days. I keep my daughter's twins who are now 16 months old!!!! No idea where that time went. For all my old friends that followed Landon's story, he is doing great! It has now been 1 year since he had his open heart surgery and he is thriving. He is such a little charmer. He will probably still need more surgery but for now we are so thankful for how well he is doing. Scarlett is doing wonderfully too. They both have brought so much joy to our family. Most days I'm crazy busy chasing t

I finally ordered one and I didn't regret it at all. It works so much better with rulers.

When I still quilted for others, haven't in several years now, I started charging by the hour, $25. I would give them an estimate range of the number of hours I anticipated but always made sure I added 5 hours because it is a moving target for sure. Once I had a lot of custom quilts under my belt I could better gauge the number of hours their quilt might take.

David I hope the waters are receding in your area. The pictures and videos are just unbelievable. I can't imagine how emotional it is for those affected. It is emotional for me and I'm far away and don't have any loved ones in TX. Praying for you all.

Fabulous.

Nice job Terry. I'm sure your mother will love it. I loved seeing the drawing too. I do that often just to get an idea of where I want things to go.

Cathy, Thank you so much for the continued prayers. I appreciate them so much. We truly are blessed that Landon is doing so well. I don't know if you saw the story about the little boy who had a heart transplant, he was a big baseball fan, well he had the same condition that Landon has. It really reminded me how lucky we have been. Landon's heart is functioning and he didn't have to have the surgeries and we pray that it will stay that way. He is just the brightest light and oh so lovable. I too still have dream puff and still like it for warmth and puff but the wool is amazi

Awe thanks Libby. These were fun to do and they went together so quickly. The twins don't have many words yet but they say mama and Nana LOL wonder how that happened?

Shana that is really interesting. I wonder if it has to do with location. I know that when we had this problem I had hubby call several times to make sure we were covered.
