well the recent storms (every day here now) knocked out our phones & since the internet comes through the phone lines, well you get the picture.
But I'm back on!!!! Let's see how long this last with these crazy storms still going.
Glad to see some new blood joining the group and that Zebra quilt is a wild one but so fun, I love it.
Since I haven't sewn in over a year (more like 2), I decided to see if I still have what it takes to make a quilt. It's a bit of a struggles to do a whole top but I DID IT!!! here it is. It's for a family reunion coming up in Sept. It's not finished yet I still need to add a border but it's a start.
Dang, I hear the thunder rolling in again, I'll be glad when all this stops. We do need the rain but everyday is so not fun.

Thanks for the compliments. I sure hope they like it because I'm raffling it off to help pay for some of the expenses.
It seems like I'm typing in between storms here because here comes another one. Dear God, what did I do wrong???
Ok the satellite TV is gone this time but that usually only stays out for a short time so I will type real quick.
What I came on here originally was to tell you all that I went to the Tracker Supply store this morning in Farmville and they had those little magnetic trays you can use for pins & things, 4 to a pack for $5. I though this was a great deal since most of the time I see them at sewing shops they want that much for 1. So if you have one of those near you, check them out.
Gee, I'm getting fussed at because the storm is getting closer again. So I'm out of here for tonight maybe tomorrow will be better.

Thanks for the 'heads up' about the magnetic trays, Seesaw. Will check that out for bobbins and pins!
Well today I experimented with blowing up my FW 1930's patterns double size, and it worked! Here is a block I made that came out at exactly 12.5" square. Oh boy, is this gonna be fun. This is my fabric... the blue flowers. I think anything in cool colors or white will go with it great. Do you have any other ideas?

Sewbiz, lovely block. I think the cools and whites will look good, that will always give you the option to add a small bit of yellow in a more controlled way so the blue flowers stay the "star of the show"
