We're finally dried out and I'm in the process of moving back into my office/studio. Thanks for the quilt lady link. I'll check it out. ~ NancyNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12854211710203164265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-5053381332927924672014-02-25T20:02:36.800-08:002014-02-25T20:02:36.800-08:00Happy Anniversary and congratulations on your writ...Happy Anniversary and congratulations on your writing assignment! I also have a problem with bananas getting very ripe and almost ready for the trash, but I usually put them to good use by peeling them first and breaking apart in pieces and freezing them to make smoothies. Your picture of the snow is absolutely breath taking and so sorry to hear about the water in your apartment...hope there was no major damage. De-humidifiers are great for getting the water out. I saw a report yesterday on NBC news about a lady named Jenny Doan from the "Missouri Star Quilt Company" who teaches you how to make a quilt in one day. Just in case you are interested, this is the link to the news report: http://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news/not-your-grandmas-quilt-how-speed-timeless-art-form-n37786 <br />Enjoy the rest of your week...and your banana bread looks yummy!<br />JudyJust Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08185854193151372108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-36378663673638129332014-02-24T13:54:05.113-08:002014-02-24T13:54:05.113-08:00Thank you for those kind words, Rhondi.

I put my overripe bananas in the freezer and they work great for banana bread. Love the sampler. Isn't it amazing all the different blocks you can make with just half square triangles. It's wonderful that you get to use your writing gift. And happy anniversary :)Rhondihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15684060974095411313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-47911727909607554162014-02-15T18:37:42.879-08:002014-02-15T18:37:42.879-08:00Thank you. :)Thank you. :)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12854211710203164265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-8018729297361839792014-02-15T15:24:07.201-08:002014-02-15T15:24:07.201-08:00Thanks, Rose.

Happy Anniversar...Happy Valentine's Day, Nancy! Happy Anniversary, as well! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary this week, too...it was our 20 year, on romantic Lincoln's birthday. Valentine's Day is a much more appropriate day for a wedding! It snowed 14 inches the day before we got hitched and this year it snowed just about that much again! Ahh, February! Congratulations on your writing assignment. That must be thrilling. I would love to write professionally. I have no idea where the path will take me, but I have decided to really give myself over to it this year and try. Yikes! Maybe I should join a quilt along instead!Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/15445291034631735026noreply@blogger.com
