What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

My "Unallocated" is now a top!  Yeah!

Now, for politics.  With the ongoing talks and stalling of implementing the tariffs on Canadian goods ..... well, we Canadians are not sitting down and letting the bully get his way.  We have been insulted and we are not happy.  We Canadians have united and have started a movement and I have become part of the movement.  So far, it looks like the bully has blinked first.
