Hello world! I just got the computer up and running again. sigh its like no water in the desert! I need internet! I need internet send the computer doc.. lol tada. here I am again to bug the heck out of you all :) HAS ANYONE NOT RECEIVED MY FABRIC? I mailed it day one. I have one in my other group who hasn't either. I realize things go out by horseback around here at the post office but surely they should have arrived by now. PM me and I will send a new piece of fabric out with my apologies asap.

I think I have a large amount of the fabrics from this group.. 11 which isn't bad. there should be a few more in the mail on Monday perhaps? I am devoting today and tomorrow to block making which should put a good dent in the blocks I have to make. at least half of them. Wish me luck!

And ArizonaKat really wowed me with her fish. Is that cool or what!! Thank you - thats three adults in just a few days - wow!

WHOOO WHOOOO some mighty fine blocks coming in! I am so happy to see not the norm. Its nice to find a break up in patterns being chosen. And it makes a finished quilt that much more interesting :) I wonder who will be done first. probably not me as I am on the last fast block I needed to make but surely not the last either. I am pretty happy with that. how about you? have you not started yet? if you figure you can do two blocks a week you will finish a bit early if you squeeze in three per week darned doing better and four your golden! I want seriously this group to be the group that finished all our blocks all of us before the deadline. I am thinking its time to show those who delay their work that its possible its not hard and its fun. I sometimes cut a block before clinic which btw I leave for at 6:30 in the morning.. and sew it together later in the day. even on overworked days I still get one done. just an idea... (ps they don't call me a brat for nothing...)

Good for you Elisabrat! Wow, you must be tough to be able to come home and not just crash! My dad goes in to clinic at 5:00 AM and usually manages to eat a bit and then takes a long snooze-either in bed if he makes it there or on the front porch in his favorite chair. Of course you are so much younger than he!
I try to come home, eat dinner, sit a few minutes, and then make a block before bed! I usually have to look at the fabric the day before, pick out companion fabrics, decide on just the right block, and lay everything out. I joined three groups, a total of 50 blocks, and I have a goal to finish sometime in September. Whether I make it or not depends on everyone sending me their fabric well before the deadline!

hugs. Jupiter

I just received my first grown up block in this swap, from NanaKathy55. Thanks so much. It is perfect! I posted a photo here, but it is also in my album of Received blocks.

hugs,. Jupiter
