Thread: The fws pony club update photo - discussion - completed page

Thank you QNS! I didn't do a log cabin quilt before though I always admire those quilts when I see them. I love the patterns you can make with the blocks. So when I found a quiltpattern with log cabin blocks I thought I give it a try. Now to make more scraps

Tomorrow I will visit my DDIL with my DS. As we will stay quite long I started a sweater so I can knit while sitting there and talking My mom always said: 'when you're knitting you can do something else at the same time' and I still do. Either watching a movie, reading or talking. No complicated design though otherwise I can start all over again!

Carrie, I love your Rosie quilt. I'm very far behind, still have to do 9 or 10 blocks! They're on my to do list

*gasp*
.... no BINGO for Honchey??
*feints*

THANKFULLY I read on to discover that you did allow some BINGO during your quilt-fest! Do you go straight to the LQS or that fabric warehouse with all your winnings? Glad you've made progress on those BBs. You sure have built the suspense as to "what" they are!

Looks like I did the same ... all BBs the same, only different!
Anyone else do this?

mmmmmmmmmm carrot cake! Thanks for the recipe ... I think it'd be dangerous to have that cake around!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm grape jam!!!

My Mom used to make Grape Conserve ... absolutely delectable. And now you have me dreaming of that.

JanieW ... thanks for the directions. I got thinking about that today, and wondered about just that. The part that gets me is that it's not consistent. Sometimes on QB, sometimes not. Sometimes when I am in Outlook, sometimes not. I haven't been into Word much yet, so really don't know. Have reset it now, so we'll see!Yea for you being almost done the PC blocks!! Photos, please!!!!!! Sashing and cornerstones chosen? Started to add?

JeanieG & Anael ... I think we were all thinking the same!! Thanks!

Anael ... your log cabins are beautiful and are going to make for one showy quilt. They'd be nice in the Barn Raising layout too! Hope you have an enjoyable visit tomorrow. Great idea to start a knitting project for these visits. I bet your DDIL is getting bored already. Is there anything you can take her to work on? or perhaps some reading?

QNSue ... I bet Anael and her DDIL and DS will have a good laugh over the mis-picks we'll make, in not understanding Dutch. After all, Laughter is The Best Medicine, isn't it? Yes, life is what we make of it ... I have really changed in the last years, and able to go a lot more with the flow than I used to be. Dealing with adversities, you have a choice ... and that's the choice I made. Some go sour and bitter, and I could have easily gone there. THANKFULLY I did NOT! Wondering now, will the new Carrot Cake recipe be your DH's birthday cake?

OKSGlad ... when you get here ... you'll be able to one up all of use with your Dutch connection!

CarrieM ... I'd take your weather ... today was back in the boonies starting at -18C ... and rising to -12C. Tomorrow though, we are to see it "soar" to +2C!!!! I'm a little confused here ... does this mean you are building, from scratch your new clubhouse now? and not moving the other one in? That might be a good thing, as you know how renos can go and add up. As you said, now you can really plan what you want for inclusions and the like ... remember the washroom plans! Rosie is beautiful ... love your colours. I forget did you do the 4" blocks? or the larger ones?

GrannyQ ... Congrats on getting your BBs thru to CarrieM!


So far so good on the ????????? """"""""""""" and ''''''''''''' .... Thanks everyone!!

Tonight I mapped out an Irish Chain pattern, to see how much I need for a baby quilt ... and whether I have enough to make it with. Tomorrow I'm off early to get my hair cut, then I hope to get home and do some stitching. Once I get ahead on this baby quilt, then I can get back to PC ..... That's my plan! And sure hope I can stick to it!

And did everyone take note ..........
We are past the Century page for this thread!
.... and past the Millenium post!!!!

Carrie I love your Rosie quilt, another one I am sorry I did not particate in, oh well can't do everything.

Anael you will have to make another visit to your DDIL on Monday after she receives all her cards, I hope she enjoys reading them all.

Wow more than 1000 posts who would have thought that when we started Farmers Wife we would all still be chatting years later.

I am off to the sewing room, have to embroider a few quilt labels and sew the sashing on a QAYG top, nothing very exciting. Once I get these out of the way I can concentrate on my quilts once again. I am up to Block 6 on Out of The Darkness, sewed all day yesterday and only managed to finish half a block and DD was helping when I finish it will post a pic for you.

I'm tired tanight. First I'm worried about my #2 DSon's cat. She is at the Vet's. She had a tumor removed from her forehead taday. She is such a sweet cat & almost 12 yrs old.
Second I spent 3 hours (w/my DSis) decorating for my DNiece's baby shower.
Now my other DSis is gonna come over in a li'le bit ta work on her DD's baby quilt. The one night I want ta go ta bed & I gotta stay up. That's life. LOL

AND ... Anael had BETTER take her camera for some pics!

Anael .. you can email them to us, to keep them off the web!

MiraB ... you are incredible as to what all you accomplish. How many quilts did you complete in 2012?

CarrieM ... Likewise here, would be harder to get a washroom included. Bylaws can be so difficult ... though many manage to do, and keep it hidden .... as in make it a closet with all ready to convert later when the building inspectors have long disappeared! There are ways, my friend! The travel kleenex holders will go well with your clutches. Another might be a little zip pouch. You are very generous to your retreat ladies. Have you recruited GGal again? Your Rosie sure is going to be beautiful ... such unique fabric choices.

DublB ... No, you don't have to stay up! Get your sister set up with your sewing machine and what she needs, and say .... "see you in the morning!"
