In pencil, make some overlapping shapes. Find the intersections of the overlaps, and make a short double line at each pencil intersection. Always make your second line either inside or outside of the shapes. These are made on the inside of each shape. Don't think too hard about what will overlap what.

What does a quilter give as Holiday gifts??... custom-made quilts of course. This year I designed a quilt for each of my 4 children, 3 stepchildren, their spouses, 13 grandchildren, 2 sisters and a husband (that's 28 total). Thanks goodness we celebrated Christmas in Texas the Saturday before Christmas.

Lost Dog: 3 legs, blind in one eye, missing right ear, tail broken, recently castrated, answers to the name of "Lucky" It's an old joke, but it always makes me think of my Dad. If he were a dog, this would describe him pretty well.
