Oh My Heck What Happened To My Neck

Our faces are lies and our necks are the truth.~Nora Ephron


Or - What Happened to my neck and other important questions.

I've been asking that question for sometime now. 

 I remember jumping once when I saw myself in a 
big plate glass window 
on Main street in Loomis. 

I was used to just seeing 
a tiny bit of my face 
as I looked in the mirror 
to put on my makeup. 

Yep, I must be 71 from the look of things. 

Love,

          New Cute Quilt to Show You. ;)


          I loved how Elder Timothy Thompson's quilt turned out. 

          This was a couple of Jelly Rolls that I got on
          sale at Gracie Lou's.

          The back is a gold Minkee. 

          The whole thing turned out cozy and fun.

          Love,
