Apparently, calico prints are the best for quilting....I have only 3 fabrics that have calico prints, and a few others that are of doubtful value when quilting.  But I'm learning, so I think I will make do with what I have for these quilted potholders.  I'm making them for little Christmas presents.  Having selected 9 fabrics that might be used, I have only eliminated two that I won't be using.  I've been saving lint from my dryer, rolling it up and putting it in a bag.  Now I can just unroll these lints and use them as stuffing for the potholders, stacking them up 2 or 3 deep and cutting them out to 7 or 8 inches square. 

I can't think of anything even slightly worth mentioning at this time.  Walk dog, vacuum, and mainly, I spoke yesterday on the phone to all my loved ones, who called in succession.  My son, daughter and brothers; only missing is my grandson, who seems to have gone off the radar again - we don't know where he is or how to contact him.  Our emails have gone unanswered.  This has happened periodically for years, and we are beginning to think he wants it that way, and it hurts.  All we can do is play a waiting game and hope he returns.
