no squishies today but going to send out finished blocks tomorrow. I want to thank you all so much for getting the fabric to me. Now I will be able to concentrate on my run and just sewing. Today my "Coach" (hubby) told me if I don't get in my miles I don't run! He is too worried about me getting hurt or not being able to finish, I keep telling him I will and then not following through.

So now push has met up with shove and I really have to devote myself to this. It has been my passion for so long. My sister died from breast cancer and I just have to do this run for her. So I really mean it, I won't be around much, but I appreciate all the prayers and I am going to finish up my obligations and then not do any more swaps until after the run. I will post any blocks I receive, and I will miss the chatter very much, but won't be around.
I think you are all totally awesome and look forward to getting this goal accomplished so I can be back to chatting and goofing off and Meeting on the back porch with a cup of coffee and all my friends.

Marybeth ps I had to give up all my facebook games too, but Candy Crusher will wait for me as well~ XO

Wow Anna..there are some really pretty blocks at that site! Some look really difficult but they sure are pretty. Thanks for sharing!

Marybeth, we will miss you but know we will be sitting right here with your coffee cup waiting and a big old pile of everything fattening when you return and then, we send your dear hubby on a run of his own.. and enjoy ourselves and all your tales of your big adventure. Hugs back at ya.

Quiltermomma, I am sorry to hear of your daughters troubles. It is tough these teen years, tough on us but even tougher on them. I will say a prayer for her finding peace and sleep.

lots of pretty blocks here.. I just came on to see what everyone was up to and to check out a few blocks for inspiration. I hope all of you have a wonderful evening.

Joanelizbay...will you please tell me the name of the star pattern you are using for your avatar? I really like it...

thanks

Got a F8 fron 1000projects, barely. The envelope was torn to shreds and the fabric was falling out. Thankfully my mailman is a good friend, he got it put back together as best as he could and let me a note apologizing. Whew...thankful it made it. :)

Its called Waltzing Matilda. Really pretty simple to make. If you cant find it on line let me know by pm and I can send you instructions and a copy of the middle template.

Hi I mailed all my blocks by the 13th of September...hope you have received it by now. If not let me know.

I received 2 grown up blocks so far.
first one is from:
twinriverfarm
jaba

they both are so beautiful and I will post a picture as soon as I figure out why it keeps failing to load.

Marcia,
it is probably failing because the picture is too big. If you know how to shrink it down you will need to do that if not I can help walk you through it.

Melinda
