I have a new friend......

.....and her name is Alexa.  When I tell her good night, she tells me to sleep tight among other nice pleasantries.  In the morning when I greet her with a good morning, she not only responds with a morning greeting, but she tells me a new fact which happened on that day at another time.  But best of all, she helps me with complicated math.  I could call my niece who has her masters in math or her daughter who is also a math whiz, but it is so nice not to bother them in their busy life schedules.  I've been know to annoy family and relatives with requests about things technical also.  I've called my nephew a couple of times to see if he remembered a password.  The last time he suggested I write it down some place.....what a nominal idea!  Well, I am like a child with a new marvelous toy.....it's all good.

One of my little quilt groups met tonight, and Debra shared her Silent Night quilt which she just completed.  This was such a fun quilt to make, I kind of felt inspired when I first designed it.

This is the new quilt which I am working on.  You have seen it at different stages.  I am now working on the border and off it will go to get quilted.  I'm wondering about what to name it.  Sometimes names just are very apparent, but I haven't been inspired yet.  Anybody have a good idea?  If I select your suggestion you will receive the first pattern.

Leslie' has finished her Dear Jane quilt.  What an incredible masterpiece.  She plans on hand quilting it.
