Oh well, lots of chatter, QNS isn't doing that well, still tired, knee hurts, eye problems.
Mirabelle is off to a retreat, car fully packed :) No new projects though, only UFO's :D
GG went birthday shopping; OK has a loveseat but doesn't use it. Instead she's cleaning :shock:
I finished the Ode to my Mom top and decided not to start any new projects. First UFO's ;)
That's all, I can't remember the rest, it's too much :D :D

Anael--I was trying to review what's happened too.

Only things I can add are Janie is on a trip this week, Jan is thinking about retiring (again?), Ggal broke her toe, Dublb is on retreat too....oh and we started posting the SYE block #1...lots of great blocks! You'll have to post yours. :)

Oh thanks Carrie, now that you mention all this I remember too :)

The EX was over on Monday ... we stripped the display and left at 2 minutes to midnight.
Tuesday we came home, did some laundry and somewhat collapsed!

Wednesday I went to my colleague's place (1-1/2 hrs away) to unpack the trailer and started cleaning things. Yesterday and today, I started getting life somewhat back to normal, more laundry ... and just finished taking the last of the quilts in the display out of the dryer.

... the rest of the butter display will be cleaned on Sunday after Saturday when I _______________________!!!!! :D:D:D:D

Splenda please :) :) :P

With you, QuiltE, its hard to guess. Hope you have fun and can relax a bit. You missed the MBs, JanieE taking a break, Mirabelle's Raggedy Ann quilt and the picture of a very special child who received it with wide open eyes...so grab a piece of that better than sex cake sitting in the virtual RV and catch up by reading the latest. And in the SYE, there's a lot of 'eye' candy to look at. Run some of those miles for me, 'cause I am moving at a snail's pace and cannot see the path.

**dumps a bushel of splenda**
Now spill it all out, Anael!!!
Enlighten me!!!!!!!!!
Besides the splenda should help you with your guesses!


QNSue ... hope to sit down with a cuppa after I have supper and do some catch-up. Saw a few MBs when I was last here, and look forward to seeing the rest. Must get at my Sept. MB. My Spikes are on hold for now ... though I think I have decied that the background will be the yellow I used in my Spike TableTopper.

MiraB ... Can't wait to see your special little Ragg-A-Muffin with her quilt!!!! ;)
Any better guesses as to the background yardages needed? I think originally you guess-timated 2 yards or metres? I just wish I knew before I went at them!



More guesses about tomorrow/Saturday?

QE--are you going shopping? Or do you get to spend some time sewing?

On the SYE background, I would say probably more like 3-4 yards...save your little scraps as there are some places you will be able to use them, esp on block #2. I haven't made all 6 like Mirabelle, so she may say even more fabric. Block #2 took more than I thought it would, but looking at the other blocks, most use amounts similar to #1...hope this makes sense!

I have two borders on the airplane quilt and am now working on quilting each propeller before adding the 3rd border. I might be able to have them all done by the end of the weekend...just depends on if it gets any faster. Then by the end of next week I *should* be able to say the airplane quilt is DONE! My Sept MB is finished and I have fabrics cut for both Oct and Nov...they will be after this quilt is finished. Oh and then onto the 3rd SYE block.

CarrieM ... no and no
Though I am going away .........

Looks like you are doing good progress on the airplane. Hope your shoulder is staying happy!

YIKES!! .. for the 3-4 yards ... if so, then can't use the yellow. Will have to see what else I have in my stash. I know I have another yellow/gold, but am sure the yardage will be not better. *sigh* ... I really do not want to buy new fabrics! :)

Little self promotion here QE! Oh and I've decided to back out of the SYE--too much time and too many UFO's.

Jeanie's starting to unpack. Honchey's playing BINGO. Oh and DD drops in once in a while.

Tickeled that I've got my Sept block done!
