Oh I understand about hubbies - he picked up three envelopes for me today and kept staring at me as I opened them and oohhed and ahhhed!!
Received ladybugs today as well as DogHouseMom French Fab as well as Jaba's no red please!
that's four - and I have all weekend to play - waahooo

Well fellow Rubies, I received F8's from Elisabrat and Moonwork42029 today.

Well I'm done with one block :) so far I've only received 3 fabrics.. Jaba, Moonwalk, and travelinggramma. I know what to do with the ladybugs.. but it's gonna take me awhile cause i"m going to have to learn how to do it first hehe. still not sure what to do with jaba's but I have a coordinating fabric picked out at least.

Ok ok Elisabrat.. you can have some cake.. sheeeessh.. Maybe it'll help your focus for measuring and cutting :)

Yeah! One of mine arrived.

Working on a practice block tonight. Need to re-train the brain on paper piecing.

why thank you baby girl. I could be YOUR mother so I was going to go that route next if reaching in and stealing it didnt work.. lol. You are a baby next to me. I can barely remember that age.. my baby was just 2 yipes she is a bit older now.. life goes so quick when your young and have forever :)

FYI dont eat cake, now a fresh peach or bowl of fruit? stand back I am coming in and aim to win. I was only going to eat the whole thing just cause it appeared you were going to SHARE it as you posted it ..and didnt want to hurt your feelings (lmao)..

I think honey child its gonna take more than cake to help this measuring cutting thing. My best pal offered to come up and cut for me this weekend. Not sure if that is a help or not.. then it will be where did all those parts go? ahhhh..she doesnt quilt or sew. You know.. maybe I will just take my chances and do it myself. SLOWLY linda SLOWLY.. my husband says with my inability to run that a turtle would win a race with me and take a long nap waiting.. sigh. He ain't kidding either.

go eat Anastasia, go eat. Hey when is that birthday anyways?

Birthday is oct 15.. I'm sending a piece to a preggers lady I made a baby quilt for .. well am currently making a baby quilt for.. and bringing a piece to my mom and brother tomorrow.. Only fruit I got is grapes.. will that work?

Elisabrat, jaba, doghousemom and travelinggramma f8's arrived in Possum Trot...yipee

My mind was swirling so last night it took a long while to fall asleep. Would have gotten up to do some cutting but my studio is also my bedroom and hubby was sleeping! Got one paperpieced yesterday and almost ran out of fabric - anxiety attack was well on its way - but it worked out with a little finagaling (sp?). Whew now to depaper it and iron ....or do we iron and then depaper??????
Eating my blueberries - staying away from that chocolate gooey cake - gotta get some weight off if i want to enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas!! Enjoy the day ..........

I was the same way ... I had fabric swatches and shapes floating through my head and I could not settle to go to sleep. I had spent a good part of the evening browsing quilterscache and printing copies of blocks that I wanted to consider, and that was in-between breaks while working on my practice block.

At least I've got a bunch of block patterns printed, I think I'll scan them to a PDF and save them on my PC so I don't have to go through that again.

Hoping I can crack out a few blocks this weekend.

Sorry, Elisabrat I also received your fabric yesterday but it was stuck in the mailbox so I didn't see it... (have one of those that's a slot in a wall that drops down the wall into a cubby). Also.. how did you bribe the postage guys to only cost 45 cents when we all seemed to have had to pay 65 cents? You brought them cookies didn't you? I knew I shoulda brought them cookies... They told me last time they do things for cookies.. ugh. Next time... Travelinggramma, your block is in the mail today. Hope you like it.
