I love those little baskets! They are too cute!
I have 6 more completed blocks heading out in the mail tomorrow. I am getting more confident so I am getting them done a bit faster now. It is so fun to try new patterns. And I am learning that there are some huge holes in my stash. So now I know what fabrics I should be looking for to fill it out. The finished blocks all look so wonderful! I am getting some great ideas! Does anyone here have a link to an easy paper-piecing tutorial or can you recommend an easy paper piecing starter block? Some of those are amazing! I want to learn! Have a great weekend everyone :) Oh, I received fabric from ispy today, too! I love the color! |
Hello everyone-I've been quiet this week. My darling father-in-law decided to check out on us on Tuesday. We knew it was coming but didn't expect this soon. After coming to a complete halt with everything I should be able to start concentrating on my blocks again. I'm sorry to those that I told I would be sending their completed blocks this weekend but I haven't been able to package them up before I take pic's. And to those who I said theirs would be completed and in the mail well . . . it will be shortly. I'm five behind now but hopefully will get caught up soon.
Everyone is doing a beautiful job! And I'm proud to say that while my mother-in-law has been staying with us I've been able to share with her what I've received and we peeked at the board when we could! She too is getting excited since she is an ole time quilter from way back! She helped with a few color selections and a few patterns. Trying to get her back into the swing of things and get her mind going in another direction all of you have been a big help! Thanks! My update on squishies: of course I have sent a pm to those I have received which is eight so far! I have loved everyone of them and can't wait to start laying out my quilt. Although I know I'm being premature (but so anxious!) and will have to arrange several times until the final. I'm waiting for two more squishies from jan-10 and cjt_mama. But I know they will be here soon. Thank you again ladies this has been so much fun- learning lots and trying different things. Happy sewing everyone! |
Sorry you lost your FIL, wine woman and happy that you get to share the joy of quilting with MIL. Not sure why you are apologizing. You do realize that the deadline is still a looooong time off, so no worries. Take care of what you need to take care of.

Wine woman, sorry to hear of your loss. I am glad that we can be of some help and support during this time. What great fun for you and your MIL to share our little group ( that is not so Little).
