[quote=Cre8tvlwyr]WOW makes me want to go back to my more subtle choices of colors [mine are very loud- I have totally gotten out of my box :roll: ]- quote]

Cre8, I had to smile when I read your comment. I so love all the bright and vibrant coloured blocks and am trying very hard to brighten myself up and even do scrappy.

So far my contained, co-ordinated self is winning. But this is only block one and I hope to get a bit more "out there" as I go.

Andrea - I am doing 7" and sewing it all by hand. I find the handsewing relaxing watching TV of an evening.

I'm with you Deecee....LOV E the handsewing in the evenings watching tv w DH ...actually have to say sometimes I tend to get myself 'lost' in the sewing and daydreamin about what it's gonna look like
:oops:

...........and that's what I love about sewing. It takes my mind somewhere else for a while. A mini vacation. :D

To date, we have 93 who indicated they are going to make their very own AOTH!. Now some of those haven't "talked" with us in a while, but it is summer & life sometimes gets in the way.

I think my DH thinks I'm on a mini vacation 100% of the time! I love having something to do with my hands in the evening, too.

My DH is on a mini vacation of his own. He knits. He has just finished a lovely shawl, beanie and booties set for GB to be.

He actually works in the curtain business so he is my enabler when I fabric shop. Always encourages me to get a bit of that colour also.

Lucky, aren't I?

My DH says that when I am in the quilting mood I am in LaLa Land! This lovely hobby of ours makes us special. Doesn't it?

Kindred spirits.

93 - that sure is a lot of interest.

You lucky lady Dee cee
