Stevens will be 85 on January 18. Can you mail him a birthday card? If you don't have our address, indicate that in your comment and I will PM it to you. Five years ago he was quite surprised to get so many cards. This year he's alert but he's declining, so now is the time. THANK YOU!

Yesterday was the 15th and final sale of Barb M's estate. Each sale has benefited a different charity. That $27,171 is after expenses (1400 wash loads, storage unit, and hotel meeting room rental). Not only have I enhanced my stash but I’ve also enhanced my friendships.
It's been too cold to hike in forest preserves but it's important to get Stevens out so on Friday afternoon we got groceries and went to two thrift shops. Bargain day! How could I resist? The butterflies and the cars are 108" wide--$3.99 each. I count a yard of 108" as 3 yards (3 x 36") -- so all of this works out to .19 (nineteen cents) per yard. Yes, I'm going to share the bounty!

Your mystery quilt looks great and wow! That's a wonderful donation from Barb M's estate to the charities. I can send Stevens a card but I need your address. :)
ReplyDeletethanks for the math on the 108 wides...i knew it was a bargain sometimes but didn't know the details...of course a card will be forthcoming..won't be venturing out here for a few days or more...bitter cold coming after snow...i like your version of old town better than bonnies...
ReplyDeleteI'd be more than happy to send Stevens a card! I'll need your addy though. Hopefully it will get to him in time for his birth day because the mail here in Canada is still quite slow.
ReplyDeleteNan, I would be happy to send Steven’s a birthday card. I was telling my husband the other day how you take him on so many outings and he is always smiling for the pictures. dorthac at aol dot com
ReplyDeleteYour Bonnie mystery quilt is looking great! I've never done one of her mysteries, too many tiny pieces for my spatial dyslexia to handle! We'll be sending a card for Stevens in a couple days. 85 deserves a big celebration 🎇
ReplyDeleteI'll plan to send a card if you send the address. What a nice thought. Your quilt is looking quite wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'll send a card. Message shahann@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteIt's really amazing that Barb M's stash raised that much money! You've gotten some great bargains by shopping those sales. Your mystery blocks look great! I'll definitely send Stevens a card!
ReplyDeleteHi Nann, I'd love to wish Stevens a happy birthday by sending a card. Stay warm! Gail.buller@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI would gladly send Stevens a card! ( My daughter's birthday is the 19th.) I can't believe what you were able to accomplish with taking care and selling all that stash. WOW! How wonderful for the charities.
ReplyDeleteYes, address please! I thought I had responded earlier but evidently not.

Wow, 15 sales, and there was a lot of fabric at each sale. I don't think I have that much fabric but I wonder how many sales it would take to sell it all. Time to stay healthy and keep sewing it up.
ReplyDeleteI would love to send a card. m.podoll@frontier.com My birthday is the 20th. Good month.
