My MB for JanRN is called "Night and Day" (http://quilterscache.com/N/NightandDayBlock.html).

My MB for Dublb is called "West Virginny Moonshine" (http://quilterscache.com/W/WestVirgi...hineBlock.html) ...the scraps used in this block were from my 3rd completed quilt made for a friend with cancer.

I shipped the block to Dublb using a USPS Priority Mail envelope...I put the block in a business size envelope with the address on that. There is a large clear part on the priority envelope so you can see it. I looked up the address using "whitepages.com" and saw that there is a "Dr" on the end of the street address and also added the extra four digits of the zip code (6920)....so added these to the address on the "master address/block info" list...just in case that would make a difference. Also the postmaster said to be sure the envelope has a return address.

Anael--great to hear the twins are growing and doing well.

Jeanie--I had to smile at your post about the "little off here and there"...you are probably right that no one will notice. Good choice of fabrics and block for your MB to Janie.

Honchey--sorry you have been feeling tired lately. I have days like that too. I hope that you enjoy your new membership with the guild. Do they have regular "guild meetings" in addition to your sewing times? I've never had any interest in being part of a guild. I have always figured I would rather spend that time quilting than having people talk about it for 2 hrs. I have gone to a couple different meetings around to hear speakers (like Laurie Aaron Hird).

Dublb--sounds like your time in Brady was another good one. Glad you like your block....scrappy is hard for me, so I looked for blocks done that way to make it a little easier.

Janie--I really like the soft colors of your new MB.

QE--I too got your mini block...it arrived on Saturday...in case you are trying to see how long envelopes take to get to each of us.

Jeanie, that is a beautiful block that you made for Janie. Love the soft colors and your piecing is perfect. No fudging on that block!

The block that I made for GrannyQ was just a log cabin that I drafted on graph paper, & I PP'd it. I'll tell ya'll what I did for _______'s block when she gits it.
OH Jeanie I just saw your PC quilt & it's wonderful !!! A real Pony Club quilt. LOL
I think I was too tired last night & it didn't register. (I'm so sorry.)

Ms. Kay .... plus if you do as suggested by JeanieG, when you use the link in the emails re updates, the thread will open up to the last post that you have read. Hope that helps you!

About MY FFC block I sent ... Looks like most of you have received it already. I'm loving hearing hints as to what some are planning. BTW no need to post a pic, as you are sending it back to me!!! I did post a pic of all the blocks in a little pile before I sent them on their way. I haven't trimmed them yet, though if what you are doing to them you want to remove the paper, that's perfectly fine! You can see the dashed line ... the cutting line will be 1/4" over from that. Also, anything goes for what you do, just or name or embellishments or? ... so long as I can stitch around that seam. Hope everyone doesn't mind my employing you to help me with my project! And as Honchey says ... this is all about FUN!!! And I'm having FUN ... so I hope each of you are too!

MiraB ... busy week ahead for you with a home and pups squeeky clean! Hope you are taking your PC for Tuesday's Show and Tell!

CarrieM ... yes, access to your feeddog button, plus for the knee lever. That's one good thing about Janome's table, you know it will fit.

Anael ... OMG, have they ever groooooooooown!

CarrieM and DublB ... what a great block! So unique and so nice how all the different fabrics come together.



Honchey ... and it looks like you're all about FUN with your morning outing! Be sure to get your "homework" done before the next meeting or you won't get that card. Yea, for discounts! Oh dear ... you have some wounded birdies.

DublB ... found the quilt pattern online. It's going to be nice and work well with focus fabric blocks.

JeanieG and JanieW ........ ooh laa laa ... beautiful block, and oh so perfect!

Got back to my Out to Pasture quilt tonight ... wanted to get past a certain point before switching machines. So that is done, and now all it needs are its borders. Because its directional, I stopped there, as I was trying to figure the best way to cut and minimize wastage. Yeaaa!!!

Good Night Ladies!

JeanieG

QuiltE - when are you getting your new machine? I bet you can hardly wait!

Anael

Janie and Bev, you received wonderful blocks!

QuiltE, I did receive your block last week, forgot to mention it, sorry!

Anael

After a few beautiful days with sunshine and lovely temperatures it's cold and rainy again Does that mean I have to go back to the machines?

QuiltE

Tmroooooooooooooo
(I think!!)
It's been there since Friday. I didn't want to bring it home til I had the PC all together, so that with that mission accomplished it's game on!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A friend is helping me load the old table today.
I need to phone to check that someone will be there tmro to spend the time to get me up and running with a more detailed lesson before I bring it home!!! .............. yes I am anxious and excited!

Anael ... that's the May block. You'll have to show us pics of your gardens and all your work! I know you like it outside, though I also know you like being with your machines too. They've missed you and will be glad to have you back!!

QuiltingNinaSue

Yes, let us know how you like the new machine as I have been looking at it, too. Love Bernina machines; my last three have been Bernina...they carry my name...well, Mother's and mine. She was named Bertha, so Ber - nina.

Off for the funeral; hearing dh have his problems finding everything, what car to drive with winter warnings out. But temps are to stay in high 30s and low 40s, rivers are far away so only local flooding, if any.

Stay warm, everyone, stay safe...having fun playing in the quilting areas.
