Yes are right April, start at number 1 and you will catch up in no time. Honchey posts a new thread each week, a photo page and a discussion page. Good luck
|
Yippee for you LovingIzabella!!!!
Or you could do what some of the rest of us that started later have done ... jump on in with us with our thread that Honchey posts tomorrow night and ride along each week. Then catch up on the previous ones, as you get a chance. Good to have you with us!!!!!!! :) |
Welcome April......this is a fun and chatty group. I'm not into the Western Lingo, but they don't seem to mind......I've been able to keep up but because I like to Paper Piece and some of the blocks aren't PPing friendly, I have skipped a few.....no matter as there are no quilt police here......just fun and encouraging folk.......Glad you are joining in.....:)
|
Join in on our fun over Spring Break!! We will talk of quilting and recipes and very little about western horse "talk". Join our "campfire" chuck wagon virtual fun, maybe, imagine us in a virtual RV all built for quilters to enjoy and work in...lots of food and fun to come.
|
hhhhmmmmm??? sounds like a Virtual Spring Retreat to moi! :)
*puts thinking cap on* :) |
April, jump in at any time. I'm the "city cousin" and don't know ponies from jackasses. In our area instead of y'all we say yinz but we all speak "quilt" here.
|
*jumps in*
to {{{HUG}}} my much loved City Cousin!! :) There's LOTS about live that you City Slickers can teach us Country Bumpkins! Such a sheltered life I lived as a kid ... and it really hasn't broaden all that much with age, either. Luv Ya, JanRN!!!!!!!!!! |
"don't know ponies from jackasses" LOL!!!!!
|
Here is a little joke for all you Pony Club members:
A pony walked into a bar and ordered a drink. The bartender said: "Speak up, I can't hear you!" The pony says: "I can't. I'm a little horse." I probably shouldn't have posted here, but thought that you would all get a kick out of it. |
*snicker*
So you think we have a good sense of humour? :) And could handle that one? Pardners ... Just imagine that! :) BlueBell ... drop by anytime! Just watch out for the smoke around the campfire at this time of night! :) |
QuiltE,
I stop by often to see everyone's spectacular blocks. I am still thinking about starting the FWS. Have the fabric and book but lacking in time. |
Love the joke BlueBell (and yes, QE the city girl "got it")
Speaking of the campfire, I have a farm story to share when we get there. Yes, me and chickens in the same sentence--stay tuned!! |
Ok Bluebell. You qualify as a PC member with that sense of humor. Time to saddle up.
|
Your blocks are beautiful. I am really looking forward to seeing the finished quilts.
|
Bluebell, love the joke. JanRN, ready for your farm story. QuiltE, a virtual campfire never smokes. And it does not burn the marshmallows. Time is what we make out of a 24 hour day, seven days a week; yesterday is history, tomorrow is the future, and today is a "gift"; that is why it is called "the present" !!!

Oh heck ... why wait, JanRN? ... entertain us with it over in the Discussion Campfire thread!!!! Speaking of which ... I remembered my own horse story to tell ... and probably my one and only! BlueBell ... absolutely! .... you can be our resident Jokester! QNSue ... I guess our virtuals have been so realistic ... there's been some pretty smokey ones at times. Ask OKSGlad!!!! :) Although I do like the idea of non-burning marshmallows. I never cared for roasted marshmallows ... hated that burned up guck of it! |
Funny Joke BlueBell......good way to start the morning! But Hey! Ya gotta burn the marshmallows........nice and crispy.....oh Yum!!!! I can almost taste them and it's been at least 40 years since I've had one.......:)
|
:D:D:D Jackasses, little horses, & burnt marshmallows! What a lot of fun. (I like my marshmallows just barley brown, not burnt.) I'm enjoying this campfire.
Jan & QuiltE, I can hardly wait ta here your stories? |

They have to be hot enough that the inside gets nice and melted and just a little flame right at last.

For anyone who gets wrapped up in the stories and accidently burns their marshmallows, I will eat them. The blacker the better! :thumbup:
|
Hey, make mine into S'mores! Yum!!!

Yeeeehaaaaaw indeed!! .... and the FC Queen gallops for her PC debut!!!
Outstanding start, ♥Iz :) |
Great job Izabella! Terrific fabric and construction. You are indeed "on your way"! These blocks are so much fun!

And she's off and running!! Soon you'll be gallopping along side the rest of us--even those of us who've lagged behind--again!

Great block, April. Love the cowgirl in the center. You really did fantastic with the fussy cutting. I warn all newcomers: these blocks are addicting! I plan to work on one and then go do some cleaning but I always end up making 2 blocks and not cleaning LOL. Glad you've joined us.

Jan I had to have the cowgirl...after all she has brown hair like me LOL I have four cowboys already planned for another block :-P Thank you all again for the encouragement. I like this wagon! Hugs April |

|
Dropping by here for some inspiration as I "Bite the Bullet" to do this block.
Wish me luck!!!!!!!!! in the land of many y-s! |
Hi JeanieG,
You're right. A Beauty can't be paper pieced. It's all those Y-seams. Four others can't be pp'd: Bright Hopes (Y-seams), Bird'sEye (curves), Elsie's Favorite (curves), Gold Nuggets (Y-seams). BTW, I don't have those memorized. I peaked at the table of contents for each file of patterns. :D |
