As usual I am way behind with things in my personal life. But this sounds like a lot of fun. Now I will just have to find to time to give my sewing room some much needed attention.

Here is all I am going to tell you about it at first.
1. You will use lots of 2 1/2" squares (around 400)
2. and the end product is 51" x 68"
I will give the first directions on Thursday May 17th. You do not have to have all 400 squares at the beginning. For newbies if you have been saving squares for yourself while cutting for everyone else you should have a good start.
Let me know ... it is very easy pattern.

SBG, you have an extra. lol That's too funny.
I've heard of expunging misdemeanor criminal records, but I haven't heard anyone talk about driving records. It's interesting. In 48 years of driving, I've only got 2 tickets. And one doesn't count, because my sister was 'backseat' driving (although in the front seat) and she made me do it. * roll my eyes*
MizMelly, I hope all is getting back to normal after that trauma!
Best wishes to you Gaijin! And many happy returns. :-)

My May candies were mailed 05/18/2018. I apologize for the delay. My schedule was thrown out of wack when company stayed two weeks longer than expected. I am finally back on track. My sewing room has been put back in order and June candies should be mailed tomorrow. I am looking forward to the mystery quilt. I will have to due some cutting before I can participate, but look forward to the challenge.

So my "new" 2017 vehicle is in the shop getting major repairs and I'm driving a rental, thinking about what day to take my defensive driving course to get the ticket expunged off my license, worrying about my cat who needs to go to the vet for a gastro-intestinal issue and wondering how outrageous my insurance is going to climb to. Sigh. Not a fun May!

Well, things are "looking up" sorta. Cat is fine, after $455 for shots, blood tests and exam. He's on meds for his issue, and I have to pick up one more today from the vet. The insurance adjuster called yesterday and said they were accepting total liability for the accident (darn, I was hoping for a little shared blame). I'm crossing my fingers that my vehicle will be done and out of the shop by next Friday. I have a very nice rental, but of course it IS a rental and a car (I drive an SUV).
And I had to submit paperwork to get accepted for the defensive driving class. Now I just need to sign up and take it before the 13th or I get an automatic failure and have the penalty hit my license.
I think I'll take it tomorrow to get that off my plate.
I hope everyone is going to have a lovely memorial day (long weekend). I know I'm staying home and will probably be playing in my sewing room!
