The great thing about scrap quilts is that even the uglies look absolutely fabulous in it. In fact, I think you need a few to add some interest. <BR/><BR/>I too expect to be jobless within the next couple months. It's either take voluntary retirement or risk losing everything. It will be a hindrance but not a hardship, and my heart goes out to everyone for whom it will be grave hardship. Greed absolutely got us here, and I'm sorry to say I hold out little hope much will change under the new administration.SueRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015207751862726531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555344617895972769.post-90905687645343469292009-02-02T20:50:00.000-07:002009-02-02T20:50:00.000-07:00Your Crayon Box is so colorful.

I really like that quilt! And, like you said...the best quilts are those that are used and loved.<BR/><BR/>I think many of our problems have in this country have come from the.."we gotta have it all and we gotta have it now" attitude that many people developed over the years.Belviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339295196960064374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555344617895972769.post-91185698143139506522009-02-01T20:40:00.000-07:002009-02-01T20:40:00.000-07:00I think you are right about what got our country w...I think you are right about what got our country where it is. My DH got laid off last May and his job (NIKE) where he was a computer programmer, got sent to India. He found a job with benefits (soon) but it pays 1/5th of what we used to make, so I went back to work part time and we are both taking early SS retirement. It wasn't what we had planned, but what we must do. I like your scrap crayon box quilt.<BR/>CarlineLady of the Clothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345211460859964856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555344617895972769.post-36087835368021890442009-02-01T18:55:00.000-07:002009-02-01T18:55:00.000-07:00So sorry to hear about your sister.

And like making a quilt, sometimes there are many delays and it takes longer than anticipated. My DS has been off work for six months and just got another job. They had savings and no debt except for house morgage but.. Michigan has been a year or more ahead of the rest of the nation in this mess so don't look for a quick fix. It is terrible that some greedy people did this but it is also terrible that we were dumb enough not to regulate and stop them. Some people have been waving red flags for some time but no one paid any attention. So many innocent people have to suffer so much. But we are a hard working society and will pull together and get through this too. I also see people being more appreciative of simple things like sunsets and walks with children.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03812374680645763586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555344617895972769.post-52741989322440250042009-02-01T15:50:00.000-07:002009-02-01T15:50:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10585878295754436629noreply@blogger.com
