Hey everyone! I still don't have my fabric yet. I was told the mail from the States is delayed by the cold! I have been going home and finding something else to do each day:
-making a gift for my swap partner -making cookies for a friend -printing some new block patterns -looking at my sewing room and cleaning it up just enough to keep my housekeeper husband from going in! I hope, hope, hope my fabric comes today! Gaijin |
Ah, bless your heart. All these gorgeous pictures of finished blocks being posted and you still don't have your fabric yet...That is a bummer. The cold is beginning to let up a little here in NC. Maybe you'll have yours before long. Sure is some beautiful fabric in that package.

Totally understand. I look at the fabric, pick a pattern and then look to see if I have fabric that matches. Only problem is with hubby, no social security yet for men at his age, he could easily do a side job or 2 custom making cabinets and vanities, etc., which is what he does for a living, but then you have to have all the insurance and social security payments and etc..... What a pain. I owned grocery stores for years and when I was done I had a feeling it was time to be done. Thank heavens I was smart enough to get out before all the Walmarts and big chain stores came to town. Little individuals just can't compete, I had a great following but prices are prices. Very appreciative I had the opportunity to have my own business for many years but also glad I could retire when I wanted to. That "pay in" to social security kills you until retirement age. Advantage he has is that he pretty much works when he wants and takes off when he wants. He's building cabinets and bathroom vanities for my son's new house in Florida right now, think we'll have to take a trip and a little time off. Might have to ship them all and wait until the house is done so I can see the new....yup that would be smarter for sure!?!

I kinda got on a roll and used the same pattern (Greek Cross) for most of the blocks, with a few Churn Dashes thrown in. Hope nobody minds. The Greek Cross pattern is one of my favorites. :) GroovyPieces - Very pretty and unusual fabric! Hope I did justice to it. :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]455578[/ATTACH] |
