Dear Just Marjorie/Truly Marjorie/Marjorie, For Sure & Camilla: Sure sounds like an unusually accomplished week to me. Yes, I also have osteoarthritis (but then, I seem to have everything.) Would also love to see your quilts. How about a PD quilt, like the A.I.D.S. quilt of a few years ago, with PWPs/CGs contributing individual squares? Or has it already been done?
