Forgive me
Ladies, for I have sinned ....
(with apologies to any Catholics who are disgusted at my praphrasing)
This past week, I showed a piece of fabric that my personal shopper (
CarrieM!!!) purchased for me that I was thinking of using for something for the Story of Butter display again this summer .... and we got talking about patterns and designs. I couldn't wait ... and I was just testing a few blocks to see. Well, you know the story ... a few became a few more and then .......... I was hooked!
So much for finishing UFOs and not starting anything new! In my own defense, it HAD to be done (for August, not now!) ... so good progress has been made as iit is together, except for the borders. Will be about 50x60 (I think!) .... and I've decided to call it "Out to Pasture". So, I'll let you put 2+2 together as to what that might mean, til it's ready for a photo op!
And to think my final two PC blocks elude me ... and then onwards to the sashing.
MiraB ... I'm with you, so many times I wish someone would whip me up a good supper! So was
Anael advising to help coordinate your fabric and block choices with the one already made for your MB Pardner? Good idea!
Anael ... 8 weeeeeeeeks!!! wheeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
Happy Campers!!
Your FWS is going to look great with it done that way. Happy to hear about Mick too. So important he visits Bram and Isa regularly too!
GGal ... We've got almost duplicate machines as I have the 6600. Love it! Just wish it had the bigger throat ... and why I drool over
JanRN's Sweet16!!!
Honchey ... thanks for sending me ____________'s name as my April MB Pardner!! I've got my block picked out, though have not searched my stash for fabrics yet. Thanks for the extra machine info. An example of duplicate machines would be the HQ Sweet 16 and Baby Lock Tiara. As far as I can figure out there is not difference. Though that double branding happens in most other machines too. Even cars! ENJOY you St. Patrick's feast with all!
BTW ..... I can hear you snickering all the way, up here, that you know all about who is partnered with whom! We're just going to have to do something to YOU, to give you some MORE FUN!!!!!!!!! And yes, I AM having FUN ... and looking forward to a year of it!
QNSue ... Great progress on your sashing. Great plan to take your PC for LAQ as part of that FART!!! Did you find the missing sashing you needed? Or what did you decide to do? How nice that your friends can visit you, while in the area for the funeral. Lucky them to be able to enjoy your Irish feast!! Very tempting to hear about your signs of spring!
JanieW ... and how was your FART with your DS?
JeanieG ... great news about your hand PT results! Keep it up!!!!!!
JanRN ... no special Irish meal here for me either. Though in years gone by, I was known to add green food colouring to the oatmeal porridge!!!
And would make green rice or tapioca pudding for dessert at supper!
