Flooding
I have never been so happy to live to live on top of a hill! The flooding is unbelieveable! Having an 11 mile stretch of I-94 closed due to flooding is just crazy.
On another topic, I finished quilting a t-shirt quilt for the elementary art teacher at our school who retired after 38 YEARS of service. I will try to attach a picture, but I am not very computer savvy. My friend Kim pieced the quilt and for her first t-shirt quilt I think she did an awesome job.
Another quilt shop is closing here and another one also just 22 miles away. Our choices are shrinking and I will now work even harder to help the remaining shops. I actually saw someone at a shop who was sketching a quilt rather than buying the pattern. I said something to the gal at the counter and she asked the woman to stop--now here's the kicker--it was a $3.00 pattern in the clearance bin. I know gas is 4.00+ now but this is crass. Something needs to give...... Enough of a rant, lets see if I can post that picture. Wow this part is easy, let's see if it actually posts!

That is the most gorgeous T-shirt quilt I have ever seen ... of course, it helps to have beautiful T-shirts to start with. :-)

Where do you live if you are along I-94? Just curious about the quilt shops closing. THanks.

My husband works in Jefferson, where some of the flooding is the worst, but we live in Slinger. The shops closing are Common Threads in Slinger and Homespun in Beaver Dam. I used to work at Common Threads, and this is just breaking my heart.
