And it was Kass who sent me the template patterns for the ribbon star block. She gave it to a lot of us. So beautiful. |
Kelsey's water broke she was air lifted to Minneapolis. My daughter and I raced to the hospital so she wasn't alone and we sat with her when the doctors told her how she would be able to hold baby when he passed etc. my nephew, her Mom and Kelsey's mom arrived several hours later. To make along story short baby was born alive and he is still alive. Have been here about 5 hours now, haven't seen baby yet, just waiting on updates

Im so sorry Terri....I cant begin to imagine the pain she must be feeling..to carry a child inside and then lose it is just heartbreaking...No words can take away that kind of pain. Hugs and many prayers for comfort to all of you!!
|
Praying for you all now, Terri. Don't even know how or what to pray in this situation, except God's will be done, and his peace, grace and comfort be HUGE over all of you. Thank you for the update.
|
Hugs, Terri.
|
So sorry Terri, may the parents (and family) find a small bit of comfort in the way to short time they have w/ him.
|
I have my squishy bagged and tagged and ready to ship, Gary has promised me he will ship it tomorrow.
|
so sorry Terri.There are no words.Prayers and Hugs!!!!
|
terri my thoughts and prayers are with you all

The last of seven guests/family left an hour ago. Sigh of relief. It's been an exhausting two weeks.
I did a lot of sewing. My son and I made the backpack. My niece (10) and I made a quilt with squares everyone had drawn on. My Omaha boy (8) made two little pillows one for him and one for his sister. He was quite good. The Omaha kids liked the Ispy quilt I made for them. We still have a queen size bed in one of the rooms if any of you ladies get tired of the snow..... Downside: you have to share a bathroom with my 20 year old son. Janice does this count as a bribe so I get the fabric I want? |

[ATTACH=CONFIG]565289[/ATTACH]Day of the Dead squares for MJPEncinitas
I’m hoping the overall effect of all the squares are colorful. They will be going next to black ‘skull’ squares so your squares shouldn’t be mostly black. The middle will be a larger appliqué of three skeleton musicians, banjo, fiddle and harmonica. Your square will not be set on point. They will be used on a wall hanging so if you wanted to use techniques you wouldn’t ordinarily use on a bed quilt go for it! Most importantly have fun. While I do not want you to stint on the fabric you use for your boom square if you don’t think you have a use for the leftovers please return any usable fabric to me. I need to make four more of these squares and it would be helpful to have a little bit more fabric than I have and its not available online. I will post the fabric, and an example of what the middle square and skull squares will look like and a beautiful 5 minute animation that talks about Day of the Dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCQnUuq-TEE It always makes me tear up a little but I’m a wimp. [ATTACH=CONFIG]565290[/ATTACH]Middle square: Instead of a wedding couple there will be three musician's in the middle. Sorry didn't get black skull square pictures yet. |
Terri prayers are sent your way! That is one of the hardest situations of losing a child. Prayer you will all be comforted.
|
Bummer Janice, I did the wrong baggies too! Sorry! Now I know. I sent you the tracking number.

Hello to all. Can't sleep to much excitement yesterday. Doctors expressed shock and guarded optimism that baby Liam is breathing on his own. He is in NIC, death is NOT imminent, hope to find out prognosis and diagnosis today. This little guy is a miracle.
|
Janice sorry I tried to edit post and delete the picture when I saw how large it was but it didn't work
|
Terri, he's a beautiful little boy. May God hold him in the palm of His hand and protect him as His will is done.
|
Terriamn -- !!! He's a fighter!
|
Yeah Liam! Hoping for a good report from the Docs.

|

So many of us up so early in the morning! Hugs to all of you whether or not you're awake yet :-).
Kassaundra, I'm hoping Janice gives you one of the two stripes. :-) Billi -- I have to get my Mardi Gras quilt done before I get to play with the fairy quilt. As slow as I am, it may be a couple BOOMs from now before the fairies are good to go, lol. |
He's beautiful. :) I'll hope he continues to surprise everyone, especially his doctors.

Liam is beautiful! May he grow stronger and healthier by the minute... What a miracle baby. Congrats to the whole family.
|
No worries...I thought I'd put the "no hard zippers" thing in the rules but apparently it was only in the Boom 18 sign-up thread. It'll be in future rules. I hesitate legislating anything else but those will definitely be out for the future.

Wonderful Liam news. Put a smile on my face and made my morning brighter. Thinking of you and your family.
|
Regarding shipping packages, You may ship in whatever container you wish as long as there's tracking. The mailers I use are ONLY available at USPS.com. They are free but you must make an account but you need not supply any credit cards unless you order something for which there is a charge. I've never heard anyone say they found the padded priority flat rate envelopes at a post office and mine said they're not a normally stocked item. If you want them for future booms, I'd go ahead and order a package of three or five now. I cannot recall the exact number of the smallest available bundle. I order two sets of 15 every couple of months.

I finished another baby top and tried a new technique too. the border is made with the leftover fabrics sewn onto calculator paper. It worked pretty well, all I had was the 2.25" roll. Next time I do it I want to use the 3" wide. [ATTACH=CONFIG]565339[/ATTACH]
|
Billi -- looks great! That is a great idea for putting a border together quickly without having to measure anything!
|
How pretty is that! The calc border turned out really well. :)

Great idea to use the paper to stabilize the scraps into a border, and bright and happy baby quilt.
|
Love it, Billi!
|
Mjp.thanks for YouTube clip. I'm not really familiar with it so this helped.
Terriamn, prayers are being answered. God is in control. Billi, what a great idea. I will certainly remember this as my candis never line up |
Terri - May you and the family find peace and comfort in this trying time, so sorry for such a hard situation
|
Wonderful news Terri! There is always something precious about a new baby. Prayers & hugs.
|
Hope we get an update on the baby from Terri soon. So amazing!
