Got a bunch of squishies today! F8's from cuppy, kareno, and Quiltaddiction, and a block from GrandmaDi.
As soon as I get my work area cleared off, I'll get caught up on taking photos of the blocks that arrived in the last few days, and start working on the F8's that have arrived. Over the weekend, we made a prototype rain/sun hood for my recumbent trike, along with new flags, and it looks like a tornado swept through my craft/sewing room! Here's a photo of my trike, with the hood on. The mounting bracket's not finalized yet. Right now it's a piece of plywood. LOL! My husband built our trikes, using recycled parts from broken bikes. We go riding nearly every weekend, and have put close to 800 miles on the bikes so far. He's going to re-paint mine a brighter red (right now it's dark red), and he's going to paint his blue and it'll have a blue hood. The flags match ... and they're quilted!

Here's a video I made a couple of months ago. It's loud for the first couple of seconds. A noisy truck was passing by on the road behind us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR2YBfkGc_I
And here's a rather funny video of the very first time DH took my freshly-built trike out for a test ride. It still needed lots of adjustments, especially getting the gears right, and he couldn't initially climb our hill. He pedaled as far as it would go, then said, "I'm stuck". The way he said it still cracks me up! The seat was just plywood at that time, and the steel was bare metal. He didn't want to paint it or do the seat covering until the mechanical kinks had been worked out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwZ5Yv6BXkA
We've had a BLAST with them!

I love seeing the blocks posted here on the board. I think this encourages people who aren't in the swap to join another time. I know that's what 'hooked me'. I would never have thought about looking in albums when I started. We are away on vacation for a bit. I did bring F8's with me for the few that were delivered before we left. I'll update when we get back.

Got 4 F8s yesterday and a finished block from Moon...I didnt have internet at home OR cable so I couldnt post pictures of the 4 or 5 that I have ready to mail or of the finished one from moon. Ill do that tonight if Sudden Link decides to get off their butts and fix the neighborhoods cable. POOR customer service to make us wait until the next work day when there are several houses out! ughhhh..... I do have a question for Cuppy...who is the F8 gonna be for with the flip flops on it? There was no note with it...boy or girl? colors?? Its so cute!! Hope I can post pictures tonight!
