QNS--I am happy to hear the shop owner is working with you since you told her in advance what you wanted the machine for....it only seems right. Sounds like you had a nice time with bf today.

QE--Bev is the only one who hasn't shown us her May MB yet....which I see she told us. :) I look forward to seeing the new blocks posted over the next couple weeks. My June block has gone out and I would guess will arrive by the weekend.

Bev--praying things go smoothly at the inspection.

OK--I look forward to seeing the finished anniversary quilt.

Ggal--have a fun shop hop tomorrow! Are some of those shops the same that were in the IL/IN one I did last year on the way to the retreat? Are you looking for anything particular? I am keeping the booklet from the All Iowa Shop Hop so I can have a list of shops when I am out here and there. Our Fall Retreat is going to be at a different location this time...south instead of east, so we will be doing some shop hopping on our way there...I think there are 4 shops between here and there we haven't been to before.

Jan--great job on your Rosie quilt!!

Karen--not sure if I posted or not, but you had some very nice quilts in the last week...sorry you are in pain. Did you get some good rest in?

Anael--how is the blue Christmas wallhanging coming along? Did you say today was "twin day"?

Jeanie--happy to hear the check is on it's way, now for the contractors to get there sooner than later.

Janie, DD and GrannyQ--you must be pretty busy since we haven't heard from you in a while???

Honchey--just thought I'd say "hi" in case you are checking in...praying for you.

Tomorrow after taking DD to dr's ed class, if it isn't raining I plan to take a walk, get cleaned up and then work on the "Vanilla Sky" quilt I am working on. (If rain I sew sooner) :) I have one side of the outer border, a little quilting and binding left. I have to pick her up at noon, so would like to at least get the border and quilting finished...maybe even miter the binding strips.

Carrie, I didn't start the blue Christmas wallhanging yet. I made some Dear Jane blocks instead :)
No, it wasn't twin day, most of the time I'm going there on Saturday or Sunday.

Janie isn't home, she's at her DS's to help out.

QNS, I'm glad you'll get your guitar outline after all. I hope you can sort out the table problem!

QNS, I don't know if you do have embroidery designs already? Here http://www.amazingembroiderydesigns....y-designs.html a new free alphabeth started today. Just sign up and download a new letter each day. You can select the format you need.

Thanks, Anael, its one step, one slow step at a time, for me with the embroidery machine...then I can look beyond and may be continue it onward...first the project for BIL...and can tell you if I like it then.

I did not take my pill yesterday morning, but took the Mucinex and antibiotic last night...gee, I slept hard all night!!

I have cows, and cows to send to the 'dairy' cow people here. Outlined cows and yellow cows. Trust the Sampler to have the yellow cows. Most of what we see are holestein cows...

Off and running here for the day, there are at least a dozen things that need my TLC in garden, orchard and inside as well. Have a good day.

*gasp*
DJ's ... is this a new passion? or a when-I-feel-like-doing-WIP?

Heloo Ladies!!!! :D :D :D

WOW!!! I have internet this morning! :D it has been SO windy, so much sand in the air, we dont get any internet AT ALL, and on top we have had NO rain this month, not one drop to settle the dust!... sigh! bad news :( we will see how it goes...

yes I have been super busy! WORKING, but mostly just sitting at the machine when the wind is blowing to hard to do much else. I have finished another OLD quilt top, and sewn MOST of my "it takes two" only SOME of the ones from the pattern, Im having fun finding blocks to finish it, my DS wants the quilt BADLY, so I am making extra sailboats and airplanes and less pretty appliques :D

NO I havent sewn my june MB yet! darn it! will I EVER learn??? LOL :D :D :D

its GOOD to SEE everyone!
Later!

QuiltE, I started my Jane about 2 years ago and it's a WIP :D I'm not even halfway there. Made 86 blocks and 12 triangles so I still have a long way to go.

DD, welcome back :D You can have a bit of our rain, the streets are flooded here right now.

Well I finally was able to finish a quilt I've been working on. I posted it on the UFO thread: http://www.quiltingboard.com/quiltin...ml#post6133973

Love your favorite colors, Carrie, purple and green. Nicely done!! And that is a magic word when you are hurrying to finish a quilt and the relief when you can say "Done!"
