    1. My pleasure, Stacy. Also, I put up a few of the jewelry pieces for you to see last week maybe? I can't remember but your name is in the post header. Hope you enjoy looking through it, Hope you make some. If you can, seek out a rock hound club or gem and minerall society. They are very knowledgable about materials and you are in a great place to find amazing things to make jewelry. Enjoy!

  7. I think I was only in DC for two demonstrations. I can't remember what the second was for (but my friend was a speaker) but the first one was the last time the full AIDS quilt was on display. It was pretty amazing. I worked as one of the protectors and was assigned to two different blocks...and then realized that one of the blocks in my assignment contained a square for a friend of mine. Serendipity.

    1. Hi Bev, what a great experience to be there and hear your friend speak. And, the quilt demonstration: it was fabulous that you were there, and that one of your duties was to protect that awe-inspiring project. The fact that you were assigned to guard a block containing the square created for your friend is very touching. That is a golden memory, for certain.
