lovely fabrics ladies. I have been searching for blocks that use two fabrics. I have quite a collection, so I think I can come up with some really nice blocks. I am also going to me LQS this weekend. I am looking for a quilting foot for my sewing machine with a 1/4 inch guide. I think this will help me with my quarter inch seams.

Those are so beautiful, jlt. Glad I will get to play with them too.

For this Boom, I'm really glad I have plenty of WOWs! (White on whites).

I'm so excited about getting our fabrics NEXT WEEK! At least... I think that's right!

BB (before booms) I didn't even own a scrap of WOW fabric, now AB I always have a piece or two. Everytime I see a good thick (not see through) piece I snatch it up.

I blame this cold.

QM - Could I interest you in a BUNCH of padded Priority Mail envelopes? :) :) :)

Nice fabric jlt37869. So you wouldn't mind a Candy Dish or Grape Basket block. Good. How about a Birds in the Air? Sometimes that is set on point and it can look pretty good. I've also seen Grandma's Fans, but those are usually not monochrome. A set of 4 fans would be pretty. Hm-m-m

Just an FYI for the group, two more packages are on their way. One is supposed to arrive today, another tomorrow. In addition, we've got one "stuck" in another town 30 miles away. Why it went there in the first place boggles the mind. It's been there two days already. I expect they'll locate it and send it on its merry way soon. As long as everything arrives by Saturday, I will ship on schedule on Tues. Monday is a legal holiday so no mail.

In any case, it won't be much longer!

Well NO ice yet...90 schools closed and several business...but its all gone to the south of Boonville which is in the middle of the state.NOT that it wont happen overnight but nothing yet. :) 2017 is NOT starting out good.I had my MRI and found out that I have a full thickness tear in my shoulder. Not sure what that means but I have to go to Orth dr the 24th. Im sure hoping they dont say surgery!! In mean time back to pain pills and Icy Hot!

I hate to tell you Joan... but you are almost certainly looking at surgery. It's the only way to repair those tears. They don't heal by themselves. So sorry you have to wait to see the dr.

I only have about 12 fat quarters of kaffe, what blocks did you have in mind?

It seems the post office and me are having a bit of a battle. I ordered the padded envelopes on Monday and they still aren't here. Guess it is a trip to PO with a label ready to go.
Here are my fabrics. They are Kaffee Fassetts. No black and no white.

I'm thinking matching solids or tonals for those... but will wait to see her instructions first.
