The New Years Day mystery is still available. It starts here.
Be sure to send me a picture when you are done! In return, we will send you a gift certificate for $10, good for anything in the shop. Would you like to see pictures of the finished quilts? They are here.If you are in the Esperance NY area, be sure to visit the shop this week. We have three new lines of fabric which I haven't be able to completely get on line yet. Remember you can always see what is new on the website at the Just Arrived page at http://hickoryhillquilts.com/just-arrived.htm

Just in case you aren't sure, here is how to know you are living in 2009:
1. You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave.2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't even have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
7. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
8. You have ever called your cell phone to find your purse.
10. You have tried to open your front door with your car remote.
11. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
12. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )
13. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
15. You actually looked to see that there wasn't a #9 on this list.
If you have something to add to the list, send me a note and tell me!
Enjoy,
Kris
