To give everyone an update. I am now starting with my parcel 3. Parcel 2 is completely sealed and waiting for me to find the time to take to the postoffice. Am pretty sure it will not take that much time to fill up parcel 3. And what does this mean? More kiddies in Romania kept warm during their winter this year. Come and join us on this quilt-a-long.

Determination can be a battle or a thrill. Choose to be thrilled.
