Deadline is tomorrow, and I know some of you are planning to send photos tomorrow - that's fine. I also have a large handful of photos I haven't uploaded yet - it's on my list and I was originally intending to do it tonight, but I have a dreadful toothache, so I'm going to attempt to get some sleep instead. If it wakes me up at 3am again and I can't get back to sleep, who knows, I may come down and upload quilt photos!
