Y’all are killing me! Too funny!
Lynn– what was the name of the little zipper-less bag? I love that!
RATS. I was worried the stitch-in would be that night. I’ll be hosting the quilting table at the Duluth Art Walk and was going to invite the local Twilters, but they’ll be happily stitching away with y’all! Alas! Have fun!
This isn’t a quilt related game, but we played games from the Jackbox Party Pack on a recent Newlyweds Retreat, and it was HILARIOUS. You link up to the same online “room” to play boardgame-like games but your phone is the controller, and the main game play is on a tv or computer. It was awesome because we could all be playing the same game, but we didn’t have to be scrunched around a coffee table. Also, as far as actual board games, QUELF. You would both love it, as would Rae for that matter. Atlanta Stitch TV Show Game Night in the future? YES! lol.
Enjoy SewPro!

Thank you so much for your shows and especially this one. I had the last of my 3 cats put to sleep last week all elderly but the one last year and Gus this week were 18 years old; am feeling very bereft but you made me laugh and for that I’m grateful. 18 years is a long time for a little companion. I really enjoy your shows and am glad they are going to be fortnightly from now on; I learn lots and you’re fun to share an evening with in the UK, best wishes with the new patterns and shows, Sylvia
