Elisabrat, your block is heading back to you on Monday :)

Anastasia, darlin' how absolutely fabulous. I didnt bribe my postal workers with cookies, um there was this great cake I once saw and I may have accidentally invited them to your home for a piece or six..
the reason the mail box key is missing is there are only crumbs left of your cake and the workers didnt know how to tellyou goofy girl. good to know your box is now fixed even if you cant use it :)

and me receiving more envelopes and once again forgetting who sent them to me, I did get a lovely from Immemother what a great stamp that is (check yours out if you havent already) and one from Canada came but truthfully not sure if it was this group or another. I know I marked it off my list so if your worried just ask me and I will double check. I will get to yours immemother two blocks from now if that is ok, I have pulled a couple envelopes from the diamond box to work on then yours.. this is getting easier which suprises me. And my seams are getting better. I put that blue tape on the 1/4 inch line, put the needle to the right and the tape sorta keeps me from pushing it too far to the right even accidentally (like you can feel it bump the edge of your fabric) and the seams are now consistant. If anything i end up with a smidgen to trim not try to find. Phew. Well I love coming here to see what everyone is up to. It is one of the real high lights of my day and I wanted to thank you guys. This project too. keeps me on track thinking which is terrifically important too. I cant afford you so dont even think of sending me a bill. Pro bono you all work pro bono on this case ok?

turn out the lights, the partys over... I am so tired, I m going toooo floppp. unplug the iron, unplug the machine.. tuck in the chair and call adieu.. there your song for the evening. night ya' all.

I have had a bumper from nearly day one and I freaking love that thing. Even when it tries to rip pins out for me.

Jacquie your block will also be mailed out monday (if my class doesn't take me til after the post office closes)

Morning Rubietts how goes it today? its a SEWING DAY yippee no grocery shopping, minimal picking up.. just sewing.. I love days like this. I think your block by the way Anastasia is very pretty there with the paper piecing. I just was lent that video by Carol Doak on paper piecing and will have to actually watch it (makes learning so much easier). I have found so many blocks that are great but it looks so hard.. I had key word this huge roll of freezer paper to do the paper work out of but with fishing being so good here its history. Freezer full of darned trout but no paper for sewing. Thats just plum wrong. I will have to stop that Here Fishy fishy song (where can you be?) ok here it goes here fishy fishy fishy where can you be here fishy fishy come home with me.. and they do.

ok no more. I will put on my dean martin cd and drive the neighbors nuts. A good way to get the morning started for real. ciao rubietts. .post your pics post your pics I want to see them!!!

Ha ha ha!! Sounds like me!! I loathe my neighbors to the north ... I think they're both Bi-Polar or something because they are seriously whacko. One second in-your-face yelling and screaming, the next day "hi neighbor!!". He calls himself "Elvis" - seriously!! He introduces himself as "Hi, I'm Elvis - Elvis Presley". He likes to play Elvis and Country music. I hate both.

So yesterday he was working in his garden and I took the *opportunity* to introduce his ears to some other "country" tunes ... Les Charbonias (French Canadian), Salif Keita (French African), Andrea Bocelli (Italian), Sigur Ros (Icelandic). hee hee hee ...

Raining today so I'm in the sewing room allllllll day (taking a lunch break).

Ok. Back to work.

Argh I'm aching to show off the block I made last night but must not til the owner gets.. *sigh* well I'll show it off to everyone else NOT in the swap and drive them all nuts :)

Received your fabric yesterday Anatasia. All the family ended up leaving this morning so playing catch up on laundry, vacuum,etc. now but will get started sewing tomorrow. Ended up with 12 here, house got smaller real quick! but I loved it.
