    Way to go Ellie!

    I'm pinning mine up on a quilt that is hanging in my living room. My DH is used to not seeing his elk quilt without having things pinned on it. LOL I'm also getting a folder type file for all the paperwork that goes with.

    Good idea.... I've been starting to wonder about the storage side too. At the moment I have mine in a tray, but that only works while there's just a few.

    Hubby has suggested a clear file with a page for each block, we have a couple I can pinch out of his business so I might try that and see how it goes. They'd stay clean and flat.

    It's the perfect opportunity to finish yours, we can all motivate each other and help when things get tough. There are many blocks I wouldn't dream of attempting on my own, but with this group of ladies.... anything is possible! :-)

    How many have you done and can you post photos?
    I have done around 19 blocks , but I don't like the colors that much and a few I would have to redo because they didn't turn out like I would have liked.

    My filing system... I started last March and gave up a few months later.

    So Misty, are you joining in the Cyber Sew??? I like your blocks...they are fabulous. Your storage is really interesting too. So where are you keeping your paper envelopes? Can I ask if it's acid free paper, or regular copy paper?

    Oh wow!! I love the colours... you should totally join us :-)

    I recognise a couple of the blocks you have so you're partway through the first set we're doing.

    Hey Blue, nice to see you. You are sleeping when I'm on in the evening. I pm'd KLue earlier and she was going to be gone for the day, so you and I can "hold the fort" here if anything comes up...Rhonda too, since she's the tute queen!

    I've finished thru week 2, and got one block in week three done. I had a call for an emergency fill in for the DQ swap, so I've stopped my DJ to get the doll quilt done. Then, it's back to my girls!!

    I'll check in throughout the day.

    Hugs, esq.

    The time difference might come in handy! lol Between the two of us we should be able to cope.... mind you, klue's a pretty hard act to follow, we might need our undies on the outside and some pretty capes! ;-)


    I quite enjoy reading through the night's activity (your daytime stuff) with my morning coffee. It's easy at the moment with the kids on holiday, when they go back to school it will be harder with the morning rush.

    I know exactly what you mean Blue. I was just complaining in Lacelady's PDA about it. No more sleeping in...sewing all day, and hanging out. Back to the grind!!

    Yes, there are no filling KLue's boots. Best we can do is keep things in chill mode for anybody who's panicking.

    Also, anyone out there, if you want to TALK thru anything, I'm happy to do so. PM me and I'll send you my cell.

    Can you make us some capes?? LOL, that'd be so funny, especially if we posted photos!
