I am really poor at being here lately - but what with SO many other things going on - and my back still giving me gip - plus the arrival of a fabulous new Grandson - who safely arrived very late on Wed evening - weighing 7lb 10oz - too much occupying my day ! I will be back !!!!

Anael 03-22-2014 11:48 AM

Congrats on the new grandson Dotty :) Don't worry, you can't fall behind when you don't follow the schedule :D

Congrats on the new grandson DottyD,

giquilt yes I am sashing as I go, I did the same thing when I made the Pony Club Quilt and when I finished the last block my top was together.

Dotty, nothing could be more exciting than a new baby. Enjoy your gift from God.

DottyD 03-24-2014 02:57 AM

Hi ladies, Thanks so much for your kind wishes -- he is a lovely little boy and our DD and SIL have called him Beau William ! Bit different - which is what they wanted !

I know I am not following the bow here as I started a while ago on a yahoo group - but wondered if you would like to see my progress on this link below !

Ditto for me too!!!

giquilt 03-24-2014 03:55 AM

Dotty, even with a new grandson you can do two things at once. We love to see your posts here too. Thanks for sharing. Cute name and congratulations.

I am going to have to re-make album 1 (next block). I did not PP, used a new ruler. When I got thru it was not the right size nor fixable. Luckily I have more fabric.

thimblebug6000 03-24-2014 04:59 PM

WOW. thanks for the new posting... I'll pull those patterns & hopefully work on them as well when my elbow is healed. love everyone's pictures!

Dotty:

I hope your back gets better soon! What a wonderful blessing to get such a miracle as your Grandson! Congratulations!

Blessings!

I have sooooo many projects to do but life has a way of interfering with my plans... trying to do Sylvia, 50 fab Stars, Dear Jane, SYE, and a Tennessee Waltz quilt on the side. But my bone-on-bone right knee with Arthritis is not allowing me to use the sewing machine, and fingers cannot do hand work, so I sit and imagine what I could be doing. Like 8 blocks for Sylvia, 5 Fab Stars, 10 Dear Jane, and 3 SYE, and 50 54-40 star blocks and 49 snowball blocks for TW. And there's housework to do as we are having company coming in for a week on Monday. I have earned my pilot's license this week, piling things here and moving it there. In time it will happen. Meanwhile, I will enjoy seeing everyone block's posted here and enjoy our warm weather and sunshine. I wish you all the best of the best.

WOW, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PILOT'S LICENSE!!

Blessings!
Carole

wump, WOW. Your blocks are gorgeous, such beautiful colours ! ! !

wump 03-28-2014 09:35 AM

Thanks Anael actually some of the colors look better in the photos than in real. Not good with colors but I will keep going

Anael 03-28-2014 09:55 AM

Maybe you should use the photos in the quilt instead of the blocks :D :D

I may have to figure the spreadsheet out that way I have a quilt even if the blocks hibernate in the ufo bin:)

Anael 03-31-2014 12:10 PM

If you can't you can borrow mine :D :D

I'm still working on catching up Wump. Will have some pics soon. Yours are beautiful.

wump 04-01-2014 01:44 PM

Thanks laurafet. Looking forward to seeing yours.

Anael if I borrow yours how am I going to explain all the little pieces of wacked up fabric and the little stack of blocks?

This is my only block for this week, I have made the other one but can't find the camera. I think DH has taken it and if so he is in big trouble:D as he won't be home for a week:D

Anael 04-01-2014 10:51 PM

Lovely as always mirabelle! Did you decide on the cornerstones?

wump, just work on them, slowely. You don't have to explain piles of cut up fabrics, you're a quilter :D We always have piles of something laying around :) And when you're finished...........voila, there's yours instead of mine :D :D

mirabelle 04-02-2014 04:06 AM

Yes Anael I did decide, thank you for your advice. I have a piece of lemon Fusions which I think will work well

Anael 04-02-2014 09:21 AM

Hope to see it soon :)

thimblebug6000 04-02-2014 11:00 AM

Great blocks! I'm going to play catch up once my arm is out of a sling... can type with one hand but not precision piece :p

Here are some of my blocks. I have come to realize that, much as I love blues, I am missing the brightness, so I have decided to bring in some others, and spread the blander blues around. Thanks for all of your inspiration. Keeps me motivated. Blocks are not so crooked- I am a lousy picture taker.

Blue Bell 04-02-2014 05:14 PM

I love all your blues. Your blocks are great. Your quilt will be spectacular.

wump 04-02-2014 07:13 PM

Thimblebug its hard to do anything one handed. Wishing you a speedy recovery

Mirabelle beautiful block. When it comes time for mine to have their picture taken they go into hiding:o

Laurafet you've done a good job catching up. Love those blue blocks

Anael 04-03-2014 02:21 AM

Laurafet, I love your blue blocks ! ! !

MamaHen 04-03-2014 05:25 AM

Laurafet, your blocks are beautiful. I'm even farther behind because I drove to MO to visit Daughter, husband, and granddaughter, home on Monday nite, and now down with head cold. Glad there is no real time schedule. You'all keep up the good work.

laurafet 04-03-2014 05:26 AM

Thanks all! You keep me motivated! I am trying desperately to not start anything new in order to stay focused on this. Look forward to everyone else's blocks each day.
