Come on Red - you can do it! My first swap was the spring one and the first time making this block. Go for it!

Red, you have to be the "Little Train that CAN"......I think you can, I think you can, I think you can, I think you can, I think you can, I think you can, and believe me you CAN.....

I appreciate you all, but, I can't do it and I am not going to try anymore. I am so sorry I have to quilt.

Now are you going to let this get to you? Your phrase says to "take your needle, mychild, and work at your pattern...one stitch at a time, taken patiently", now you can do it. Go to you LQS and get some assist if you have to, but don't give up. We know you can. Don't make me come down to Reno and show you how girl. (Only wish I could).

I double dare you! LOL! I would love that too much...

Keep working on the block at your own pace. Even if you aren't able to get them done for the swap.

When I have trouble, I just keep going back - either from being stubborn, or just won't give up- then all of a sudden it clicks and the block is done. :!: :!: :!:

Then the next time, I can participate in the group.

Let us know what the issues are either by posting on the comment thread, or by PM. Some one will be able to work you through it.

Glad you still have your sense of humor :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Now if I head there, how do I get there from up here in Spokane Washington? Not sure of the drive. I wonder if I can do it with this cast? I will have to drive left footed and I have a manual pickup. Hmmmmm, if I leave now, how long to get there? Did you get them all cut out so I just have to show you how to do it? Or do we need to start from the very beginning. Did you at least print out the templates and get those ready?

Red just so you know I am not fibbing here are my blocks in various stages :oops:

And they were just right!!!!

Yes they were. I am so glad you perseveered. I like them. So where are my directions to drive down there and show you how to get r done? My husband might question the extra gas money i am going to spend, but what the heck, it is for the sake of quilting right?
