I fixed it!!!

The last time I posted, I showed you the little fridge quilt I made and that I couldn't stand that it was crooked. Well, I fixed it, because it stares at me all the time:
It is probably barely perceptible to the non sewer-quilters out there, but to me, it was awful. It's still not the best, but now I can live with it.
My friend Mary Jane bought me a book at the book sale at her library. It is in perfect condition and I love children's books:
The illustrations are so fantastic and there is a picture on the inside that has over 250 quilt patterns in it. I am not knowledgeable enough to know all of the various patterns, but I am so impressed that the illustrator was able to incorporate them:
I haven't tried to find all of them yet, but there is an answer at www.QuiltmakersGift.com.
Yesterday, I went with my friend Celia for a minor procedure and tried to retell this story to take her mind off of what the doctor was doing and the time passed very quickly.
Candice was home for the day, so sleep was a non-entity for me, as I worked "extra" on Thursday night. Catie called yesterday, so I almost felt like the whole family was together. Chuck and I both went to bed at 8:30 and I slept until 8:30 this morning and only woke up because he woke me up. Therefore, I will not have a good nap before work tonight. I am supposed to go to a scrap booking crop at church, so I will see how I feel at that time.
We are going to work on the hutch for the kitchen more today, grocery shop and do a little housework.
Tomorrow the kiddies trick or treat, so will have to post some cuties then....
