    International Quilting Day will see me cutting and sewing 9 patch and sashing units for my scrappy Country Charmer - that is the plan at least. I'm thinking of having some crafty friends over for tea and cake later in the day. Who know we may run by the local quilt shop afterwards.

    I am a follower. Love Kelly's blog.

    HI Kelly and SewCalGal. I am a follower of course. So this duck walks into a store and asks for lip balm. The clerks says "That will be $1.75". The duck says "Put it on my bill!"

    Now - everybody groan together "I can't believe he bothered to type that..uhhhhhhh"
