Betty, you are one busy gal!

Where in TN is your daughter moving to? One of my niece's lives in Chattanooga with your husband and five kids, so they do have houses big enough -- even your your stuff! :lol: Have faith that all will be OK with their move.

I'm laughing my tush off at you right now!!!! This is so funny!!!!!! Your daughter doesn't live with my hubby in TN, I'm looking right at him. giggle He's in the recliner across from mine. I surely got a big kick out of this !!! giggle

She is getting a house in Boliver. But wants one in or near Middleton. Chattanooga is farther on down the road from where my son lives.

:oops: Oops, tell your hubby I'm sorry (and to you and the five kids too boot!). Apparently I'm not good at proofreading!

Ok, I worked up 150 charms last night into rows. 25 to a row. I'm taking all my rows up tomorrow to iron the seams. Then I'll get them pinned together tomorrow night. I'll be sewing on that at night now.

Plus cutting out more postage stamps this coming week. I may start Sunday.

I have to whip up some ends on some boo boo bags. Soon as I get those done, I'll sew on the last bit of charms into the rows I have laid out.

I can't wait to get my rows together to see what it looks like.

Anybody else working tonight?

I'll be working in a bit but then not at all during the weekend. We are heading to the lake.

I had a good laugh over the husband and kids sharing too. Thanks. I really needed it today.

Vicky, I didn't get any done last night at all. I wanted to get all the boo boo bags whipped up. So they are all done.

I'm ready to start putting rows together tonight.

I have to cut more out next week.

You will have plenty of time to sew this coming week while I cut for awhile.

Hope you have fun at the lake.

And I had a good laugh too over the my hubby and the five kids!!!!!

OK, you two, quit picking on me! Gonna blame it on a senior moment, yes I am. :roll:

I did a bunch of 25-square blocks (40, to be exact) with 1" squares as part of the border on my millenium quilt, so I'd have 2000 squares. Strip pieced them in rows of five and arranged them so that there was a black diagonal on each, that ran zigag on the quilt. Lots of work but it really added to the quilt......however......probably never again! I love the way they look but they're just too timeconsuming for me! :) Please post pics as you go so I can maybe change my mind, though????? I don't have a long-term project going right now.

But Evie!!!!! It's so fun to pick on you!!!!!!!

I have to do it by myself right now. The other picker is out enjoying the lake this weekend.

Well, I finished two more FWS Blocks so I had some scraps to cut into 1-1/2" squares and so far I have 30 different fabrics anywhere from 15 to 45 squares each. Still not enough of a variation to start sewing. Anne

And unlike some others who do postage stamp quilts, mine will not be a charm because I have duplicates, which I definitely don't mind. With the squares so small it'll take a really good eye to spot the dupes!
