Hmm summer does fill up so fast. Just this morning I was wondering how I ever got home education in as I have no time left now. We are taking summer break.

DD, her hubby and baby boy are heading this direction. They are crossing from New Mexico through Arizona today and should be here Wednesday. We haven't seen them for a year as they were missionaries in Africa. They have visited all other relatives on the way over here and we are the end of the line. They are not sure how long they will live with us as son in law is applying for positions in the ministry. One part of me wants it to be a long time but I know that would not be good for their little family. I know when he finds a position they will probably move far away again. They had malaria after coming back but both are doing much better now even though they are still weak and coughing. DH is pretty worried about them driving through Arizona today because of the heat and fires there.

Babeyruth, message from Whigrose, she has your rows, has a plan to do them, but life has been happening for her so she is going to be a little slow in getting them to you. Please be patient with her she asks. She WILL get it done. Her life has a lot going on at the moment.

It will be awesome for you Anna to see that baby grandson, you get busy on that elephant quilt now. They are always dear to our hearts for sure.

Hi All,

No problem on delay with mine 'babeyruth' I don't want you to feel pressured, just knowing where the row is usually is the biggest concern. So Whigrose, that is okay from me. Also everyone else, if you want to modify the row I created, don't feel bad. I'd rather you like it and make it your own, my feelings won't be hurt! lol

The safari came home last night!!!!!

Wow! I really like it. Now how cute is that? My eyes can't stop scanning all the different blocks and prints. I am so pleased with how all these rows are turning out.

So far the month has been very busy but I hope to hunker down on wighrose's row soon. Thursday evening is the baby shower for my little grandson. I am on the end stretch of getting his baby quilt done. Just in time! After that it is swap and quilting obligations. I am really enjoying this sweet little grand baby. He is very busy but happy as can be and just likes to stand on your legs when you hold his little hands and then he grunts. All guy! I am also enjoying DD and SIL living with us.

QM-I love how your rows turned out! They are awesome.

best,

Babeyruth,
I am so sorry to not have your rows to you. This is so NOT like me; usually I am ahead of schedule and often the first one done on my obligations.

As QM told the group, my life is upside down right now. Literally, dh and I don't know if we are coming or going. We have a lot going on in our life - hopefully it will settle down soon.

I do know what I want to do with your rows and for me that is always more than half the battle. I am working on something that is wrapping up and hope to be started on your row ?maybe the first of next week.

Again, I apologize for holding up your rows. If you would like the others, I would be happy to mail them out to you while I commence work on yours. Just say the word.

best,
d

Whigrose, you do have until the end of July to get the rows done. So don't panic. We are all within the time limits here. It was such a sweet surprise to receive mine last night. I just so love it and my daughter will also, if I give it to her.

Ladies, I am loving all your beautiful quilts coming in. There are some seriously fun rows.

Of course, I love the beachy one. (That is home for me.)
I love the "neighborhood" rows. So imaginative!
I love the Safari. One of my friends would just LOVE this quilt.

Have I missed any? I didn't meant to. I keep stopping in to see how yall are doing and to get a serious dose of eye candy. WTG ladies. :)

Yes there is one more whigrose's sewing machines row.

Off topic but here is a link to the elephant baby quilt I just finished for my grandson.
