I haven't received F8ths from Mosher92 orTracibug, not rushing just stating :) If anyone hasn't received a F8th from me please let me know and I'll send another. All of mine were mailed awhile ago and I think they should have had plenty of time to arrive.

My blocks are just on the design wall and I snapped a picture of all of them...no tricks here. They're just sitting up there for Dad to look at :)

rec'd finished block from Elisabrat and a f8 from Lovingramma. pic of block rec'd in album.

I use a free program called PhotoScape. You can do all the regular photo editing stuff with it, but it also has nifty features like "combine", where you can combine a bunch of photos into one. Basically you click "combine", then "add", then choose the photos you want, then choose "checker" to lay them out in a grid, then tell it how many columns you want. You can add space in between the photos if you like. There are some other options, too, but that's the basics of it. Then save the combined photo. Go back into "editor" and resize it down to 600-700, save it, and it'll be ready to post online. :thumbup:

No mail today. :( Not even any bills, so I suppose I can't complain! :D

Hello everyone. Been on Jury duty the last two day. Thinking of April today as she has her surgery and hope she is now at home resting.
Got a grown up square from travelinggramma. My first round square. I love it. Thank you.

update
 

lovingrandma your block is on it's way home. I just have a small wall in my sewing room and thumb tacked a flannel backed table cloth to the wall for a design wall. Works great and you can take it down real quick. Here's a pic of all the blocks I have gotten[ATTACH=CONFIG]400413[/ATTACH] so far.

Love all the blocks! I am home resting surgery went very well. He only had to replace the catheter in the ventricle not the whole thing :) hope you are all well and Linda I didn't realize you had surgery-hope it went well and you are well :)
Hugs
April

Glad you are out and appearing to be doing well April!
