I&#8217;m working on it like crazy, because I&#8217;d love to have it done in time for him to be wrapped up in it when he goes home. That means my writing time has ceased to exist.

I&#8217;ll be taking off for a couple of weeks when he is released to spend time with him and his parents, and that will factor into the schedule. Once things settle down somewhat, I&#8217;ll let you know.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nAnd hey, when I get the quilt done, (it&#8217;s a stamped cross-stitch embroidery kit) I&#8217;ll post it on here. &nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nThanks for reading!<\/p>\n<p><i>Added 1\/4\/2015<\/i><br \/>\n<i><br \/><\/i><br \/>\nHappy New Year!
