Sometimes I'll move to the dining room table (the slippery surface makes it easier to support the quilt) but a lot of times, it's just so much effort.<br /><br />I had a fun time reading about the Daisy Janie New Leaf Bee Block Hop at everyone's website.

I love all your different threads in the Mod Pop. That is on my list for one day. I love how it doesn't matter to you that all the threads are not matchy-matchy.<br />3. It's always nice to use up the left overs! <br />4. I totally won't mention that we have had 60 f (15 c) weather for a week (sort of normal, but mostly it is colder this time of year). Our schools close if you even mention the word 'snow'.
