Been working on a Months of the Year project today- have no digital camera and entire 12" blocks don't fit on scanner - but have finished January(snowman), February(heart), March(shamrock, June(wedding rings), August(bee jar), October(bat). Hope to finish April and May but *hot* date at 7pm
Did my last post get "lost"??? If so, I messed up on a bunch of blocks, but figured out how to use them as is. I've got the blocks lying on my living room floor and they are starting to look pretty good, if I do say so myself. I need to make 6 more blocks, then start sewing them together.
Simply lovely!! You got a lot done today, I hope you get the binding done much quicker than me!! hehe
Cheers!
Rachel

My sewing helper has his nose completely out-of-joint! He was mad when I ironed my batiks this AM -- kept bringing me his favorite nearly-dead tug toy to try to tempt me away... LOL! Then he stomped (yes, Leo stomps) out onto the screened in porch, thinking that perhaps absence might may my heart grow fonder. No such luck, puppy dog. Now that I'm resting my owwie knee & doing my hand sewing, he's out in the living room with his dad, alternately watching squirrels out the front window, napping & playing toys with him. Oh, our fur babies are so neglected, aren't they... LOL!
I'd love to see some closeups of the quilting.

It's finished, doesn't stand up to too close an inspection but this is for our holiday van and I am so pleased the top is done. Still got another one to go but at least some of the blocks have been started. Thanks so much Rachel for organising this, I know I would have given up ages ago without my "virtual" quilting bee it has been such fun and oh my goodness some truly beautiful quilts have been worked on I can only dream. I have taken pictures but it has taken me ages just to load them onto the computer so I guess my chances of getting them to post are slim (yes I am technically challenged)lol. It is 10pm here so I have been quilting for 12 hours but with lots of breaks and rests. Have tried to upload picture but it is too many mb and I have no idea how to reduce size so sorry. Will say good night now, thanks for being such wonderful company and enjoy the rest of your day. Eileen

Oh, Sandra! How is your weather? Even tho the sun is shining like nobody's business here in the wild of western WI, our NOAA radio just went off a while ago (nearly scared the curl right outta my hair!) & said that we're in a tornado watch until 11 tonight. I've been seeing all the damage in KS (where I'm from originally) & OK (where we lived for 3 years) & now they say it's headed our way. STAY SAFE! If the sirens go off, take your sewing into the root cellar with you! LOL!
