April got your purple flowers done today and will send in the mail tomorrow. Would love to see a pic of it when you get it done. I'm sure it's going to be beautiful, anything purple is beautiful to me too, favorite color.
I have got to tell you all, got the wedding quilt on the table and it's about ready to go, just keep pondering how I'm going to quilt it, she wants it pretty simple.
So glad you guys like the placemats, I really love them. Got the edges on strawberry basket, 2 of the granny smith apples, jar of blueberries and the blueberry pie. I just can't leave them alone. luv 'em, just luv 'em!!!!

wow! i've finally finished reading all the posts from the 11th ( i think) forward! thank you , jaba! the horses and riders would work very well. afraid i don't ( at this time) have a home for wild bill. he may have to keep wandering the west! i can use scrap down to 2.5 inches. i'm happy to swap with anyone who has cowboy fabrics. thank you!
i'm still missing from 1000, areinn and lv2quilt2. i still need to send f8 to pinklotus, and april. i had misplaced my book with all the names, addresses, colors, wishes, etc and was like a fish with no water! floundering and panicky! i have since found it, so all is well. ( truly, if dh is going to straighten once every decade, is it too much to ask that he warns me??) lol
i am busy working on the quilt for ds#2 who is leaving for London on oct 2nd, for a year. i have 34 blocks made, and expect to need about that many more. what do you think about kona black sashing with varied colored batik? comments?..... i will get started on the boom blocks as soon as he is on the plane!

LOVE the blocks oh so much fun.
Kona black sashing? truth is I think its an ok idea but myluck withmachine washing quilts is the black fades faster than the batiks I was seriously disappointed in the long term results. that is purely my humble or not so humble opinion.
finshed several blocks today a busy sewing weekend. About twenty more to go. I think I will easily hit my Nov 1st deadline by weeks in fact. I am very happy and over time my work is getting a tiny bit better. Today I also got tired ended up with a block 1/8th an inch toobig and took it down to the center cut that down stitched it back up.. 1/8th an inch to big still no idea how but it is. So.. I quit sewing. Enough for one day perhaps. Sticking to two a day max. ah heck it just dawned on me how to figure where that side angle size was (not a math genious here) and how to figure out if that was the issue in the first place. AH HECK going back to the table to see what it should be... dork how could I have missed that one.. tired. too tired. have a good one everyone,

Hey ladies!!! A while back someone posted that we needed to make sure we included their Lot Number or some kind of number with their address because their neighbor was getting their mail, can someone let me know who and the number I need to add to the address? I've been through over 30 pages and can't find it.

That is all that I have. Hubby is out of town (again...) so I'm setting up my room as a sewing sanctuary this week and going to attempt to get some knocked out. I'll keep you all update when I start mailing grown-up blocks home. Y'all have a GREAT day!!!
