What a great day for photos and news!
Terri, hope that appt. went well. I also do not miss the days of taking the kids to their ortho appts. (Or paying the bills!)
It's gorgeous and your mom looks so sweet with her quilt! I'm glad you quilted in lots of texture for her to touch. It looks cozy.
How great to meet up with Shannon! Thanks for showing us what you both look like, too. And those beautiful quilts. Your travels sounded fun. I'm glad you are planning to do the next boom.
Jaba, we will be hoping the last 7 treatments are uneventful and that the results are great!
So sorry QM. Sometimes it does seem like one step forward and then two backwards. Hope the foot surgery turns out better this time.
Glad it worked out! I know you talked about doing clothes before... and I'm the same way-- will sew for everyone else but mine never seem to work out. Glad the skirt is a winner!

So far so good on the radiation treatments again, I have 7 more to go and then they are done. Not sure what happens after that but I should find out next week.

Jaba, great to hear from you!! Hang in there for the last of the radiation. Continued prayers for great results!
QM, So sorry about your issues. Sounds like your DH is on the mend. Take care and praying for speedy recovery on upcoming surgery. Buying fabric sure puts me in a good mood. Glad you found some good fabrics.
Kass, I’ll bet that skirt is fabulous. It’s great that it is reversible.

I had DarcyShannon as my double F8. I sure enjoyed using some Halloween fabric. The first one is a Calico Puzzle. The second one is a Churn Dash. I was happy to use the tiny bit of green fabric left over from SewBiz in the CD. It matched perfectly with the little green in the pumpkin’s stem.

MJP, fantastic quilt and very special picture of Mom. Glad you and Darcy were able to meet and it’s great to put a face to you and Darcy’s name.
D. Hansen both of your blocks turned out great
Jaba hope radiation went better this week.
Janice love your sweet dog’s picture.
QM glad hubby is doing better, nothing like a grouchy dh. Sorry you are going through a rough patch of medical problems right now.
Abby’s appt. went much quicker then expected. She didn’t want to stop for a treat, just wanted to get home for dinner b4 her mouth starting aching. Since we were in stop and go traffic the entire drive home she chatted non stop. Think it was good for her as she is starting high school in a week or two and pretty excited and nervous. She has never attended a large school before and this one has 1600 students.
Kass think your skirt idea sounds fun. Hope you share a picture when it is finished.
Had a very bad pedi/ mani this week, the gal cut me in several places and was just plain to aggressive. My toes and finger tips are so sore. Not a happy camper.

D.Henson, fun Halloween blocks. Love the spiderweb and jack o lantern fabrics.
Mona, great barn quilt! Where did you take your class? And is that a piece of painted or sealed plywood?
Kassaundra, congrats on your new skirt. I’m not much good at apparel so I’ll take vicarious enjoyment from your success!
QM, happy to hear you found a selection of fabrics for the boom. I’ll look forward to seeing them. And good news about hubby, particularly the better attitude - woo hoo. Am sorry about the medical and dental problems. Hopefully they will be resolved and you’ll be good as new soon.
Thanks for the pix of the lovely blocks you made. Thrilled you’re down to 7 more treatments. Maybe after that you’ll be done. Fingers and toes are crossed for you. hugs.

I was thinking about getting rid of it all. But I got to thinking, I need skirts since none of my clothes fit anymore. I decided to make a pattern for a wrap skirt. A little wider then an A line but not a full circle. Thought about it and figured a reversible would be great, 2 skirts in one and no exposed seams. I made my first one this week, and the pattern works well (it needs a little tweeking but not much). I even think I can combine this pattern into some quilting. The skirt I just made had a denim weight fabric on one side so a little bulky. But I am excited about the possibilities.

Beautiful quilt, and nice gifting.
Thanks everyone for your well wishes. Hubby getting better and has an appointment Friday for his hyennal hernia. We shall see what they will do there. He came home from being out of town last Friday and a total different attitude. Was a nice relief.
Now my bad news, have some bleeding fizzures to be taken care of, when to foot doctor and have to go thru surgery again, then $4,500 for teeth. Live is just the most wonderful it could ever be.
The best part, I went shopping for fabrics for blocks this am and have something for everyone of the blocks. Now what are they odds?

Mona, very pretty barn quilt!! Central Mo has so many of them around the counties that they took a picture of all the barn quilt barns and made a booklet showing people where they can go to see them all. I love the r/w/b in yours!!

Boom Biz - shipping window
Reminder for those of you who are finished with all your blocks and want to ship early: I'll be home this coming Monday through August 31. If you ship this weekend (or even Friday if coming from several states away) the packages won't begin arriving until Monday. Please arrange for them to arrive on or before August 31 as I'll be heading out of town again later that day. All blocks are due on September 22 so we'll have another shipping window open a bit into September until the due date. If you do ship, please let me know and send me the tracking number by mail. Please don't post tracking info here. Thanks!

I'll be attempting some diaper making very soon. I have the PUL (waterproof) fabric for the outer part, and then the inside has the absorbant stuff. Elastic legs, velcro sides... super cute! My daughter wants to do cloth diapering, DIL does not. That's fine... I'll only have to make diapers for one!
