Hi all! I cut my 5 blocks out on our trip and sewed one together, while visiting my BFF. We had a "sew-in" and I also sewed the first part of our BOM and made a lap top (needs borders) for my mom for Christmas. Will finish the others once I'm home, after tomorrow. From what I've read on this thread, I should have a couple new F8's in our mail to work on as well!
I previously told you I did a lot of cutting out on this trip for several projects and I learned a valuable lesson. It is so much easier, faster, and more time productive to work on projects once all fabrics are chosen for their specific parts of a project and they are cut out. When I go to my next quilting retreat I will definitely only take those projects already cut out and ready to sew.
I've done a little navigating on the new site. Nice look. Still figuring it all out. I noticed the pages are shorter, so fewer messages on a page, which is daunting in light of the 135+pages in the***Important Notice*** thread.That's a lot of reading! (saw that there are 10 pages of questions and answers-wow! guess I'll read those another time). Is Recent Topics now What's New!?!
We are always a bit sad one a vacation comes to an end. We'll really miss our BFF's-wish we lived closer to them, instead of opposite ends (almost) of the state (CA). But I am really looking forward to seeing my grandbabies!! We really miss them a lot when we are gone. We get to see 3 of them Friday night-yeah!!
