Thanks BB,

Maybe when things settle out a bit I can return once in a while with a little something. It has been a pleasure to work with you as well. So far I have been too busy to notice the lapse in work around here. ( I really have to slow down someday)

Thanks for the "good luck" wishes, I am learning new things every day, I love it! Tom has been a big help too with doing a lot of things around the house and with the sites design. It is looking good right now, and with a little luck should be up and running by the end of the week. The tech dude is working hard to get everything on it and I send him new pages daily.

Thanks again to everyone for your support with this new stage in my life!

Judy

Judy, I've been meaning to come on and say what a pleasure it's been having you as an ATG blogger. As I said to you in a private e-mail, you have an open door if you decide you want to return, and I'm sure your readers feel the same way.

Wishing you the best of luck on the road ahead.

Thanks Sherry,LDiane,Olive, Bonnie and Maggie!

I will be looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

Bonnie,

Just because I am leaving the blogging world, does not mean I am going to disapear! Ha, oh heck no! Some will see me at the Community Circle this year, as well as online here and other places. I will pop in from time to time just to say hello if nothing else.

Maggie,

Congrats on getting the new Quattro! In a word, Wow! Lucky you! I am certain that you will be sewing designs in no time flat. Good luck with your new "baby".

Take care everyone.

Judy

All right, you guys are going to make me cry!

Hi Rosie!

Well I am glad that I was able to help you in any way possible! Just so you know, it is a good addiction, isn't it?! There is no turning back once you discover the joys of ME! Just watching the machine sew out the design, still amazes me. I never get over that one, no matter how many designs I do.

You are very welcome! Thank you, and I hope so. I am sort of out here on a limb, like a cat hanging on for dear life right now,Ha! But I know in my heart that is the right thing for me to do now. I hope I will see you there as well.

You have been a loyal reader, and I will miss you as well. If you need to get in touch just click on my profile and e-mail me, that is if they ever get this thing going again! I know they are working on it, and hope it will be soon.

Thanks Rosie, see you soon.

Judy

Judy,

I can't tell you how much I'll miss your blogs! You're one of my best teachers. What will I do without you? Thank you for getting me introduced to ME and well on my way to an addiction!

Best of luck in your new venture! If you're as dedicated to it as you are with the rest of your sewing, you'll do great.

Be sure to come visit often & share your words of wisdom. I'll be looking for you!

Hi CME,

Thank you so much for the wonderful comments! You make me blush. The site is not posted because it is bad ettiquite to do so on another site, although I am excited and wanted to shout it from the roof tops, it is just not something that I would do. I like Ann too much to do that.

Any way the Orchid is a "Cattleya". Here in Florida we can grow about anything because of the humid weather, orchids in particular do very well. I leave it outside all year long, and mostly ignore it,with the exception of watering it twice weekly, and mist it once a week.

I will be in and out of the ATG site, so if I see anyone online I will give you a shout!

LaRue,

Thanks, but ATG has plently of things to keep folks busy. With all the info you give on quilting alone, should keep them busy for a while!

Now about the orchid! First, don't leave them in standing water, they don't like to get their feet wet, if you have them sitting atop a layer of pea-gravel they like that particularly well. It also helps to provide humidity for them. You have to make sure that they drain really well as they can develop root fungus easily. This one only blooms once a year and they have to be

at least 5 years old before they bloom at all. I only fertilize it once in a while, mostly because I forget to, so far what I am not doing is working, so I will keep not doing it, as long as it is blooming!

I have several orchids of various types and sizes. I have a small little one that has bloomed ever since I brought it home and has not stopped. I also have one that hangs out in front too that only blooms once a year at Christmas time. It is a beautiful burgandy color, and while the blooms are quite small, there are a lot of them. I usually have one blooming all the time, they all do so at different times of the year so it makes it nice. I like orchids because as long as you provide them with quite a lot of shade, they really don't require much care.

Thanks Everyone,

Judy

Judy,

We really hate to see you go. We have followed each other for these last few months. I do understand the time factor involved and I hope your new venture works well for you. Keep us posted.

I have two orchids, neither of which can I coax to produce flowers. Please send me some advise. They are both young, but I keep hoping to see results eventually.

Stitches to you,

LaRue
