The beauty of blogging is that when you make mistakes smart people come and correct you in the comments. This is one of those times.

Tardisgurl sent me another. I think it'll be the last, for a while. Seems short enough, at any rate. CHOOSE ONE: Regular or diet soda? I prefer regular, but I'm diabetic so I have to have diet, most of the time. The color of your bedspread (counterpane)? Presently, it's a white & pink homemade patchwork quilt. What are you wearing?

Once I made a patchwork quilt for a friend when she was expecting No.3. I put so much effort in to that quilt, hours of hand quilting, special fabric just for this 'special' friend.

I learnt that lesson...
