No power here this morning...thankful for the generator. More rain expected, record flooding north of us so the river by us will be coming up. "They" are saying crest will be higher than in 2008.

Need to finish getting ready, but had to check in and wanted to share my newest MB and all 4...thanks again Honchey!

Hope all have a great day.

DD...your quilt is STUNNING. You pulled of the simpler color scheme with class. I really like it.
Carrie....we had rain last night but still have power this morning.
Mirabelle...ouch....sounds like your shoulder is really painful. I hope it doesn't require surgery. I'm hearing more and more about women if our age having rotor cuff surgery. The latest one is minding her Dr/PT well and is recovering nicely but didn't sew for a few weeks.
Honchey...very nice MB for Carrie. Hope you're feeling better.
OK....leave Ileane at home so you can enjoy your trip. I'm sure that would be your hope.
QNS...very nice blocks for Janie. So thoughtful of you.

I hoe it is nothing serious GGal as not sewing for a few weeks would drive me stir crazy and really I am crazy enough

Am a happy girl tonight, Queensland won the second game in our State of Origin contest, that makes it one each with New South Wales, and the deciding game being played in 3 weeks....Queensland have won the series for the last 7 years so we are going for 8 in a row. Goodnight everyone, will chat to you all tomorrow..

MiraB ... You haven't convinced me that you hadn't seen those roses!!! lalalalalala .......... DD is no fool, she chose those roses Just For YOU, so that you'd race right into them Just for HER!!! Me-thinks she learned well at the hand of the Mistress! Yeaaaaaaaaa Queensland ... they sure space out the games .. and agony for the fans! Go Team Go!!!!!! Better stop the embroidery then, and go back to petting fabrics. Also, am thinking if the Dr. wants to see you you'd better see her/him sooner, rather than later, unless s/he says to wait for the ultrasound ... and fess up for your sins, while you are at it. Just tell him/her that you HAVE TO sew, that is, unless s/he wants a mental patient as well!!!!!!! Surely s/he'll understand? Tell her/him you'll pay them with a quilt!!!!

OKSGlad ... Time to tell Ileane that she is NOT welcome in Guernsey and she can go packing in the opposite direction!! So, are you going to go to the MD? or go obliviously on your trip? Maybe more important you get some good muscle relaxers and/or anti-inflammatories to get you thru the trip? How's MrOKSGlad's back doing? Hope that while you are dashing around with the final To Do's you have some time to enjoy your DS/DSDGF and give her the final words of wisdom on being Acting Farm Wife in Residence!

CarrieM and Honchey ... Rolling, Rolling, Rolling ..........look at how that foursome is rolling along in perfect harmony!


........... and now, onwards to another hot and steamy day ... UGH!

Whoopee!!!! wait till you see what I got today!!!!!!!!!!!

I am just so amazed by the creativity of you guys and the beautiful sewing and I could go on & on but why waste time talking...Here's my MB that Mirabelle did indeed make for me..."ROSES" yes, I said "ROSES" I got the "ROSES" from Mirabelle in a block called "Precious Pieces" and this one is also hand appliqued using YLI silk thread...and it is beautiful and it will go so well with the other gorgeous blocks....I have to leave now so I can go look at it some more...

Honchey and MiraBelle ... Stunning, beyond words! And what a foursome that is created!

Roses? MiraB does roses? Imagine that!!!!


Remember?? ... how I got tired of doing practice things, and needed something for "real"? Honestly, I do better when it's for real ... pay more attention, come up with a plan, and try to follow it. When it's only practice, I scribble too much. The printed fabric was some I bought a couple of years ago for placemats as it matched my dining room so well. Never got to it, so instead, one big placemat about 38" square that can be a table topper or can take it to the corner for dinner for two on one mat!

I used the print design somewhat as my guide ... followed the vine in the faux-sashing for a "s" type diagonal grid line. Then did feathers, over the print, using the print to help centre and spread out from. Outside setting triangle border area got a stipple.

I've got a long way to go ... though I'm happy for my first "real" attempt with my new machine.

Thanks Honchey ... about both. I wish I had more of those flowers ... they do show pretty nice while blooming and if I keep them dead headed, I can extend their show. I know I have a long way to go to getting the FMQ right! I'd be doing fine with this, and then all of a sudden I'd wobble all over or miss where I was supposed to be.

Honchey and Mirabelle, that block is just absolutely AMAZING! I just love it!

QuiltE - that quiting is wonderful. Just right for the area, great job!!! I still have to work with lines drawn on the quilt. Don't have the nerve to try anything free hand! Maybe someday!!!
