Will have to check today's mail. I got the one from JanRN. Neighbor RN nurse said dh needed to sit and air his nail-less big toe; so she took me to town and I mailed six envelopes out to those who wanted them. Yes, Honchey I mailed yours to NJ. JeanieG, Dublb, SBG, and JuneBilly have theirs in the mail, too. (Wonder whom I forgot to mention?) I wrote it all down and they all have tracking numbers. It was a very busy and rough morning for me...I finally had time to eat lunch at 3 pm. I am tired. Time to relax and maybe take a nap.

Take care everyone.

Today was much cooler! We have been cleaning carpets all day. DF?HOusekeeper came & helped. Some rooms are gonna have to be cleaned again. We have a spot in the front bathroom where #2DSon spilled about half a bottle of Tide. After my DF/housekeeper left. (Gosh she did a lot!) DH & I just used water & worked on that Tide spot. We took turns & worked on it for about 3 hours. Each of us would use up all the water in the Rug Dr. When we refilled the other one would work on it. We still have about half of the house to clean! (Not to mention the rooms that need to be gone over again.)
I want to state here that I hate white carpets!

Oh dear, Bev... I hate any wall to wall carpets. But... white? How can you ever stay on top of that? Sounds like it's going to be super clean when you get done.

My daughter and SIL are considering buying the house they have been renting. She pulled up the carpet in one area and found beautiful hardwood floors underneath. So that carpet will be the first thing to go if they buy the house.

I am working on my 6th Row by Row now. Every shop I've talked to lately is still waiting for a winner, so maybe it will be ME. I'm not rushing, tho. It just seems wide open, and if I finish I'll take it in somewhere.

Tomorrow is the big quiltathon day in my charity group. We are sewing together so I will need to get my stuff ready to go. May work on a Quick Strippie quilt.

Have a lovely evening!

SBG you are really getting those rows worked on....

Hellooooo Ladies, I've been busy working this week, today also and I'm just so tired when I get home in the evening. I'm remembering when doing all this was a snap in my younger days..I've been really feeling my age lately..

I received plates from Jan, Bev & Sewbiz so far...I have the plates for you guys ready to go just don't have the get up & go right now..Will send them next week.

It has to be the heat & travel to & fro that's doing it..it usually takes me 40 minutes without any traffic but these last couple of days it's been an hour and 20 minutes each way with all the vacation travellers...i have to travel major highways to work...

I also have white carpets that has specs of tan, grey & black in them and I think it's time for them to go after 23 years...They held up very good until the last 2-3 years..

Lovely Quilt OK

Givio, getting a bundle of scraps ready for you tomorrow...

Have a good weekend all of you...H.

Oksewglad that is so pretty. I agree nice calm colors and pretty design. Great Job!

We use to have carpet in our living room, and both bedrooms. Well, we still have it in the bedrooms, but it will be coming out. I like the feel of it under my feet in the bedrooms especially, but with doggies it is not the best of ideas. When we first got our house we only had one tiny dog that wasn't a problem, but later on after our love for dogs of all sizes took over we knew as we replaced the flooring it would be tile or hard wood type floors.

SBG your row by rows are just the prettiest. I have never tried one, but hopefully someday. I think I would like to make one as a wall hanging for our master bedroom.

Today I am sewing on one of the blocks you girls have done from this past Tuesday. I love the way it goes together.

Bev I need to get everyone on here together to come and help me clean.

Well, I think we may get a shower, because I just heard some thunder. My little dog you see in my avatar is scared like you wouldn't believe of thunder, but one of my mid size dogs are too. My Lil'Anne could care less and just sleeps.
She is a Golden Retriever, the other mid size is Matilda and she is an Australian Shepard. Then the tiny one in the avatar is Bonnie, and she is a Yorkie. I got the Yorkie from someone that was going to give her away. I had never had one of those, and I love her so much. The Australian Shepard I got the same way, and Lil'Anne was from the Australian Shepard when I didn't take her soon enough to get spayed, but she did get spayed. All of them are. I think I lost a year of my life last night with me and hubby both trying to give Bonnie a chewy square that keep away any fleas and ticks. They are costly so it was going down her one way or another. The other dogs love them, but Bonnie is so so stubborn, and you would think we were torturing her. We even had to break it apart and hide it in a pepperoni. It made no difference to her though, because she knew she had to do it.

Enough of my stories for today.

gladdie, that's a beautiful quilt! Looks like something to celebrate fall.

The shop hop offered rows for quilting, but most of them were raw edge, fused type applique, and I didn't want them. I'd like to do a row quilt, or, especially, a round robin quilt, and I've looked at the threads on QB for it, but didn't try it yet... If you girls here wanted to do a round robin, my! but wouldn't I jump in with enthusiasm for it!! I'm in another quilting group that starts with a 6" square, then mails it, and we add a 3" border, but only until the block is 24". I'd like to continue bigger until the piece is about 60" but the size was determined before I joined the group. And I wish it was a 6" border instead of 3" because that would give more options of what you could do when it was your turn.

QNS, great looking recipe. I don't have any nuts, and don't want to go out, so I made brownies this morning. But I wish my plate looked like the one in your picture. lol
