Get well gifts for April? Let's FILL Isabella's Easter basket!!

LovingIzabella 03-05-2013 10:58 AM

Thank you everyone for the well wishes and prayers. They are much appreciated and welcomed. I am sure all will be wonderful on Thursday-I have a fabulous neurosurgeon!!!

I just wanted to post a quick reminder to please be careful when taking photos of blocks and uploading that they do not include anyone's name and address anywhere in the photo
Hugs
April

urgodschild2 03-07-2013 04:38 PM

thinking of April today as she has her surgery. Hope all went well and she is at home resting.

LovingIzabella 03-08-2013 06:56 AM

Thank you all for the prayers, they are much appreciated and welcomed. I am home now getting ready to go lay down but just wanted to update you all. Your thinking of me means the world to me! Luckily it was just a small piece in the ventricle that needed to be replaced not the whole thing! I am already feeling more human than I have since Mid-late January.
You are all the best!
Hugs
April

I sent out all of my squishies this morning on my way to women's fellowship. I am looking forward to spending some time this weekend working on some grown up blocks. LovingIzaella, my thoughts and prayers are with you. May the Lord heal you quickly.

wendsy 03-11-2013 03:58 PM

LovingIzabella 03-14-2013 02:10 PM

Hello everyone,
I am sorry I have been MIA. I thought all went well with my surgery on the 7th but apparently not :( I am going back in on Tuesday for a complete replacement of my VP Shunt. Hopefully it works! Keeping everything I have crossed that it does lol

I just want to post that by now all F8s should be mailed. I understand we all get behind and have 4 months to make blocks but the F8s do need to be out fairly quickly (within 3 weeks) to allow everyone proper time to think about block & fabric choice and not have to rush a block back home.

Hugs
April

urgodschild2 03-14-2013 05:31 PM

Good luck April. Hope this time works well.
I stil have not gotten F8 from the following: Eagleoneowl2u2, MdmSew'nSew, Navarre2011, Oma7 and Wendsy.

wendsy 03-14-2013 07:51 PM

Got a f8 from MaSimmons.

bibliostone 03-14-2013 09:44 PM

Got my F8 from MaSimmons and Wendsy today along with my block from Wendsy. Thanks for the beautiful rose block. I will post a picture later.

Please do not stress over other peoples issues...we Boom veterans know that in the end it's just a coat of paint! Thanks for all you do for us...even when faced with your own heath issues!

I have been really careless with bookkeeping. Please excuse me if I did not rave about your work earlier. These blocks are terrific! The lower left hand block just arrived from Wendsy. TY!!

Update for my "frwappers"...that's friends and swappers combined! Surgery on my thumb joint was Thursday and today (Saturday) I almost feel human. Pain management is under control (somewhat) and I can sit here and pick out the fabric and patterns for the rest of the F8s, and do a little 1 finger typing and texting! The splint comes off on the 25th and a purple cast will go on for 4 weeks! Qll of your grown up blocks will be done and mailed out on time!

ljdugas31 03-16-2013 05:26 PM

wow,glad your feeling better!!!Don't over do it,i know when your feelingbetter you just want to keep going when you shouldn't,thats how I roll and then boy I am sorry for awhile!!!LOL

MdmSew'n'Sew 03-16-2013 06:52 PM

Hi Everyone -

sorry I've been MIA for so long - I have had a torn meniscus since late last year (and have had real problems going downstairs to the GirlCave), with no insurance as of Jan 31st, finally got a conversion policy, don't have the card yet though, then fell and messed up both knees, cracked a rib or two and re-tore my rotator cuff - and then to top it off, my email was hacked and wouldn't get on-line until I was sure it was all cleared up - you wouldn't believe some of the nasty responses I got to the emails going out in my name - anyway, as some of you have noted, my F8s went out a few days ago, hope you have fun with my colorful fabric, let your imagination soar.

I have 13 F8s to play with, hopefully will be sending them home within the next few weeks,

hugs to everyone!


urgodschild2 03-17-2013 07:33 AM

Missgigles.....hope your hand heals quick and Mdmsen'nSew......hope you heal fast too. I had a knee replacement because I was virtually walking bone on bone but I also had a torn miniscus and torn lateral something . In otherwords, my knee was really messed up. Hope you are out of pain soon.

ljdugas31 03-17-2013 12:47 PM

Looking for f8s from eagleoneowl2u2 and oma7

dotcomdtcm 03-17-2013 03:13 PM

Did anyone study Color and Light at Syracuse U? I keep hoping to meet a fellow quilting Orange-person. Made my block for MdeSew and Sew using my knowledge of color, learned at S.U. Complementary colors do pop!! Hope you like it!

Navarre2011 03-18-2013 03:12 AM

Everyone here is my update for Grown-ups:
dotcomdtcm
ljdugas31
wendsy
F8's recieved:
masimmons
mdmsesnsew
tracibug
wendsy
Thank you for the hard work and returned blocks!

urgodschild2 03-21-2013 06:34 AM

wow Dotty...that sounds like a great class. My Dad went to Syracuse U. I was born in Syracuse. SIGH I do miss the New England area. Even though we moved to CA when I was 13.......I think that New England just is born into you. LOL
Today is the day. Yep I am going on an unofficial "field trip". The class I go to for quilting....someone discovered that Hoffman's has tours so she arranged for any one in the class to go. Today is the day. I have 4 other ladies in my car and we are going to the factory which is in Mission Viejo (in Orange Co). We will tour the factory and see I guess how they print the fabric. All of us "old ladies" are so excited to be going. We will also take a tour up to Kaufman's once they finish their remodeling phase of their shop. But that is in the future. So sorry no sewing blocks today.

wendsy 03-21-2013 11:46 AM

Received a wonderful grown-up block from Dotcomdtcm.

dotcomdtcm 03-21-2013 02:09 PM

Sounds like so much fun! I'd love that!

Sorry for not posting for a while, my computer wasn't letting me into the quiltingboard, and than after 3 weeks my computer crashed. Now that we're back to new, I'm back!!! I'm hoping the Easter bunny will be delivering presents this week! All my blocks ae done except for Eagleoneow12u2, still haven't recieved fabric from her. I'm sending your blocks and my fabric together. I'll be making a quilt for my local hospital, for children with cancer. Fabric is in the washer and I'll get it cut up tomorrow and send out on Monday or tuesday. Again I'm really sorry for not posting lately, but I have been working!!! Hope you all enjoy!!!

oldcatlady 03-24-2013 03:39 PM

sending blocks out tomorrow to joanelizbay, NanaKathy55, TwinRiversFarm, travelinggramma, elisabrat and roseirish48.

ahwu 03-26-2013 12:19 PM

Just packed the grown up block and labeled the envelop for OK Darla. All I have to do now is stop by the Post Office.

oma7 03-27-2013 05:35 AM

All blocks went out except Eagleoneow12u2, haven't recieived her fabric yet. Hope all is fine with her. Hope you all like your blocks!

LovingIzabella 03-27-2013 10:20 AM

Hello everyone
Sorry I have been MIA yet again. Had two brain surgeries one on the 7 and one on the 19th. Finally able to sit at the computer for a little bit and get caught up :)
I love all theblocks I am seeing :)

How is everyone doing?

I am also going to post one of my usual gentle reminders again :) This is not directed at any one person but just an overall for everyone as my duty as hostess.

1). Please remember when taking pictures that no personal information should be visible in the picture (no envelopes or tags on the block with addresses and such.)
2). Please do not rush to get blocks made. This is not a race or a contest to see who can finish first but more a swap designed to stretch our capabilities to try new colors, new block patterns and new techniques. If you have been doing 9 patches for awhile, how about stretching just a little and try a churn dash or a friendship star. I know we all start somewhere, believe me my first blocks probably left A LOT to be desired, and heck I am sure some of mine do now but I try to make sure those blocks never make it out of my front door. Send something you would be proud to call your own and have in your own quilt. Size is important folks. We all want to be able to use the blocks we receive in our project without having to modify them or cut them down. Measure, Measure and measure again :) Any help we are ALL here to provide that. This is a Friendship swap after all :)
3). Please try to adhere to any requests a member may make. If they ask for you to please use only white it would be great if that is what was done. If there are no requests, than by all means have a ball! (that's what I do lolol I love picking out fabrics)
4). I think that is it for now...I may post gentle reminders again but again that is all they are. No one person is being singled out or admonished :)

Anything else? Send me a message.
Hugs
April

urgodschild2 03-27-2013 05:43 PM
