Then in January I had a 2 week placement at the local hospital which i really enjoyed.<br /><br />Tomorrow the girls and I are getting together to sandwich 25 quilts I wonder how many we can get done.<br /><br />Hope you are all well<br />Love<br />Erika<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'
