I counted and I have 43 unfinished Quilts! That is so pathetic! And the amount of money tied up in it is just unreal! So 2013 is the year I get most of them off my to do list!

I am listening to Dolphin football while I sew! OK I have to admit I love Football and really really wish I could say my team is a winning team... that is not the reality, the Phins are not doing well this year! URG... Not the end of the world by a long shot but I do enjoy a good game to get my mind off real troubles~

Have a blessed Sunday~

I'm with you MaryBeth...My Raiders suck but I love 'em anyway! I watch them when I can .....and also love the Cowboys...I have to...I live in Texas!

If I have you in a wrong list or no list please let me know. I am really enjoying this swap. Thank you all for swapping with me.

The blocks are slowly tickiling in and I am really enjoying all of them. Thank you BOOM swappers! I have learned so many new patterns. It is atleast half the fun. I also enjoy picking out each patter and the fabrics to go with the F8 that I received.

I absolutely love fusible batting. I used to by one by White mountain? I just had a roll of regular batting here that was gifted to me so well you use it right? should have used it for dq's and what nots not a real quilt. it was tough. I have never had cardboard feeling with the batting Kelly. Its been just about like all the other cotton battings you can buy. And it holds but its not like using elmers. its like static hold/ so it can move too. I just am beyond thrilled that I finished. it leaves the house today for a new home and I am done. Lots of lessons learned like check the backing, roll the quilt (after trying four rows not rolled duh how easy is that) and never ever piece a back its not for me. like never again. I like solid one piece backing. that I can do. oh oh and MY RAIDERS won yesterday (wish the season ended with that high note for sure). here is a pic of the mystery quilt that wore me out. finished after midnight and now its play time! note how many seconds oh say three before my quilt inspector tested the quilt. then off to the wash it went ..

Linda, thats VERY pretty. I love to hand quilt but I hate having to deal with the batting and the backing and trying to keep it straight while I tack it down in my small house. Its easier to send it to the couple that does the machine quilting for me and pay to have it done right...PLUS they do the binding so dont know if I will ever hand quilt a large quilt again, just the lap robes or the wall hanging! I love your colors together in that quilt!

mailed out my last block today. I have made all blocks and are waiting for a few. Love this swap and I can't wait until we do another

wow Elisabrat...that is pretty. I am a Patriot's, GreenBay Packers fan. The Pat's lost yesterday but it was a terrific game. The GB's won. Can't get them all I guess.
I am still missing some growns up squares and with only two weeks left, I am getting antsy.
Well off to work on the Easy Street mystery quilt.

Barb

Well, I'll admit it!!! I'm a HUGE Saints fan. It doesn't matter if they win or lose, there is ALWAYS a party on Bourbon Street.

Thought I'd post a pic of what I'm doing with all the fruit and vege's. Vege's are all done and starting on fruit tomorrow. Still waiting on getting some back. Hope they are sent by deadline so April can start the new Boom swap. I love these placemats, thank you all so much. I use placemats everyday so these will get very good use.

Jaba,

Love your place mats!

Thanks TamMoo, I really like them too!!!!! Hubby thinks they're awesome. May have been a choice you guys thought what is she doing? I knew what I wanted to do with them. Like I said I can't thank you enough, I love 'em!!!
