Welcome Trish and Michele!

The purple and blue backgrounds both sound like wonderful choices!! These quilts are all going to run the gamment for colors and all look so different! I can't wait to see them!

Michele..I'm doing the 7" blocks by hand. Mind you, I don't have thick hair to begin with and I'm getting less by the day...but it can be done :wink:

So sorry about the cold Debbie, hope you get better soon - sounds as if you need to be fighting fit to cope with everything on your plate.

Luv, what potholder patterns are you using? I got one as a Christmas swap that was a DJ block pattern. I love it.

You take good care of yourself so you don't get sicker. The cold I got from my granddaughter last month went into bronchitis.

for the potholders i went into EQ7 and picked some blocks, printed them as 8" pp blocks and got started.

DD bought me some cold medicine (she has a vested interest in keeping me healthy). besides being DH's caregiver i am her babysitter lol. luv those babies.

I have some news! A lady on this Board - lydialee who currently lives in Florida is moving to, of all places, Hobbs - yup, right here. She called me the other night to let me know she is here on a house buying trip. I am so excited. Rather than overwhelming her right now wth all her relocation concerns, I'm going to wait a while to drag her (probably kicking & screaming) to this group. Her DH has gotten a job here and they are relocating. He's been here about a month. She's here until the 20th. Am taking her to quilt club next Thursday night. I forgot to ask her if she wanted to go to LQS on Saturday. I think she was a little disappointed that I work 5 days a week & don't have the time to spend with her. Will call her in a bit as it's dinner time right now. Anyway, I am excited about having a quilting buddy of my own!

Gotta get back to ironing those tiny pieces onto the background of Block #19.

Patty, are you intending to do these blocks by machine, or try hand applique. As you haven't done any hand sewing, I think I would recommend you try a couple of machine samples before you make a final decision - and no, we won't tell a soul!

If you check out pages 26/27 here on this thread, I did a few samples for people to look at.
I have almost got my first block done. I am hand sewing it. My friend that is showing me said it looks good and I'm a natural at this. I want to believe her because she makes me tare things out if there not right. So I'm off like a heard of turtles. Wish me will.
