Took my sewing machine in for a check up and cleaning while at the lake. When I dropped it off she said it was state fair time and at least a be if the mechanics would be with her at the state fair. Darn darn might not have been so smart on my part. Do have others but this is my work horse and know the 1/4" foot inside and out

The final 2 and 1 for me. I've sure enjoyed making these for you ladies but it is time to start packing some of my sewing room up to take to the new one. Hope I don't forget a bunch or it will be a buying spree when I get there

GramE I did plan on making this my last big hurrah and maybe staying a couple of weeks. But today had phone call from my oldest dd and she is on her way to Minnesota from Texas. She will stay at our house but work at her company's offices at the Mall of America. My son will also be coming from Las Vegas but not till Seotember 18. That means she will be here at least a month. Poor dh's eye's just about popped out of his head. She will give you the shirt off her back but is very high maintence, has a terribly stressful job that can cause her to be very moody. Not a pretty picture if you get my meaning.

Almost GramE, but I'm sending you back a strip that is big enough for some 2" or so squares, just incase you need it
Joanelizbay, sorry your blocks aren't a little more creative. Just couldn't get into the fabric for some reason...maybe because I had to sell my big salt water tank, sad day because I love to watch those fish.
We go back to Florida in Sept for Bill's son's retirement from the navy, then fly home and really start packing for the first trip down. As I was cutting blocks and sewing them I just started piling things up that I have 2 or 3 of, no sense buying it again. Can always buy the focus fabric for a project but I have so much blender and tone on tones that for 1/2 of the year figured I better take some of it.
Then I need to start on the kitchen, lots of the small appliances I have 2 of because we had them at the cabin. When we sold it I just brought them home. It's those little $30 to $50 items that add up real fast, like cutters, mats and rulers I guess. I'm having those "cha-ching" moments that I feel the money can be better used elsewhere
Don't envy you at all terriamn, it might be a stressful month to say the least.

For Ibex94. My DH picked the gold.
This is is called "Table for 4" on Quilter's Cache. I played how many times can you sew the same piece on upside down with this block!
