I got that velveteen one sewn together.  It looks better than I thought it 
would, if rather masculine.   That's OK, since a bunch of the quilts I make 
end up with guys.  
 
->  RH> We got the snow, such as it is. And the cold...I don't need a 
freezer

-> 
-> I can do that today and tomorrow but it's supposed to be in the 40s by
-> the week end. Had about half an inch of snow last night.

It's going "up" to freezing tomorrow.  Maybe.  I do use my enclosed porch
as 
a spare fridge this time of year.  It doesn't quite freeze out there 
generally.  
 
-> -> yes, I think your cousin has us both beat, with 2 kids having major

->

Yep, pretty much.

so

->  RH> Aquamarine isn't quite a true blue.  There are a few other stones
it

-> Time to do some more web searching then.
-> 
Or find a good gem book at the library.  Or hit a jeweler who does estate 
stuff. 
 
-> ->  RH> Some, but most were too far gone.  They were all pre-1925 and I

->

-> 
->  RH> Serious collectors want them in better shape.
-> 
-> But if it's one they don't have and want bad enough, they might take it,
-> not caring that much about the condition.

Until they find a better one.  Rarities will sell, but I don't think any of 
these were rare.

-> 
-> That's for sure.

I think I'm beginning to figure out the reasons for the MS.  Not get a 
handle on the disease mind, that's not really possible, but maybe the 
reasons for it.
