We are a chatty bunch & that's what makes a group so much fun to be a part of.

Even though some members have jumped the gun, no one has finished anything. Several are well on their way to a finished quilt top & a few have some blocks done, but that's not to stop you from starting & working at your own speed.

I have been embroidering a block for 3 nights now. I get home from work, fix something for us to eat & pick up the block. There is always something good on TV to watch, just wish I could stay awake to watch all of it! Maybe I'll finish this block tonight so I can start another block! :-)

yes, was just counting on my fingers and said, ok, it's time to mush! I have plenty of fabrics...plenty...for this quilt...new threads,...flosses,...patterns all enlarged and put in a notebook...nothing to stop me from getting out my lightbox and getting on with it.
Just have to play with that camera ;-)

Ordered the Jinny Beyer - deep red/maroon lily swirls for my background fabric and Coraline in red and tan - another J Beyer border print for the narrow borders ....so excited!! I may even have everything before I have to start! :lol:

Cre8 - I also bought some of the Coraline (just a small amount) in the red and also the purple to audition.

Just love those Jinny Beyer fabrics and that red swirl is beautiful.
