To: GailA; The Thin Man
Don't you just love it when you are a grownup and can eat anything you want - when you want it?!
Sometimes a simple meal is more enjoyable than a banquet.

Looking at the quilts, and remembering some of the lovely ones you have made, I am in awe of the number of stitches and hours it takes to create one.
Unfortunately, I have a neuropathy problem with my hands, plus tenosynovitis, that makes even typing on the computer keyboard difficult. Limited to slowly making word rather than fabric pictures.

Now - if we were to have Spell Check on our Posting Comment Boxes - - it would take less time to spot the errors!

On the other hand, we would not want to discourage The Thin Man and make him feel he is no longer useful.
Indeed - he keeps us on our toes, just so we can have that wonderful sense of accomplishment - so selfless he is....sigh...

I love the border on the one in the front in GailA's pick -- it's both very modern but still paying homage to the quilt border rule.

We normally eat only one meal with a snack later. We got so busy doing the quilt rack we forgot the time.

I know what you mean about the hands. I have arthritis in mine and especially in the fingers you use for hand sewing. The joints get very painful. There are days my hands just don't work well at all..add in wearing tri-focals with progressive worsening vision.
