Sewbizgirl, I hand sew in spurts. Keeps my mind and my hands busy when my body needs rest. Only been hand sewing 2 yrs now. I never would have thought I could do it. But now, I always have a little kit ready to go if I have to go to an appt that has waiting time involved. As an ADD person, I don't sit still very well! And the sewing lines are printed on the back of the fabric! Just follow the dotted line..

I used every inch of the green I could. I even sewed some scraps together to make the last three pieces. To many pieces make all the fabric go into seams. I need to learn that you can make a block with less than 80 pieces. I hope it will work for you.

Wow, Opals, beautiful blocks again! Billi, the Dresden lovely, the one GramE made for NanaKathy, I love that pattern and you executed it wonderfully, Mona's blocks for GramE and A2P are terrific...the list just goes on and on so please forgive me if I haven't mentioned your block. From where I sit as the host, this is looking like a very successful Boom swap! Great job everyone!

I will get some photos uploaded here shortly. I also went to the Ritzville Fair and won with different items I entered. Loving this. I even won the Machine Quilting Award, which is the one I really wanted.
Thank you all for the happy thoughts. Now to focus on some blocks and finishing projects for the quilt show in October.
