Just a reminder ladies that the due date for mailing the rows onto the next person is February 1. If you need to adjust that date for any reason please let the person you are to mail your rows onto know when they can expect to receive them - and remember to also let me know.

Anyone up to posting progress photos?

Maria and Whigrose, I received Kris' blocks today. They are beautiful! I have been down for a couple of days, an antibiotic backfired and affected my tendons in my legs, I almost literally cannot walk it is so painful. Anyway that is why the late maildate on Group 3. All for this group is done and went out on the 1st of Feb.

Charlottemarie,
Thanks so much for letting us know about the rows.

Take care of yourself first and foremost.

Hi all,
just popping in to say that I received Mhobbs rows today from Charlottemarie and they look like they will be a blast to work on.

Anyone else have an update? Photos?

Oh yes, photos would be nice to see. Love watching them grow and steeling the ideas from you. LOL

Hey ladies,
How we doing? Anyone want to check in with the group? Krisb, Mhobbs, or Charlottemarie? Everyone busy sewing. Shoveling? ;-)

I'm not shoveling, but I am sewing. Working on quilts.

Can I just complain for a just minute here?

So, I find the PP pattern I want to use, pull the fabrics, cut them and stack them into piles for each of the five blocks.

Commence sewing - This is going great! Or so I thought. When I place the block segments into a block formation, things aren't lining up. What? Huh? Ugh.

Human- check everything again - your copy of the pattern, follow the pattern - opps, turns out I wasn't doing section 6 right. Start next two segments. Still, not fitting together the way it should. Now I could almost understand this if I was a junior paper-piecer, but I have done more than a few quilts with the pp method.

I have decided not to become frustrated and waste my time. I'm ditching the whole thing and moving on to Plan B.

Grumble~

Just letting you know that I am still here and actually slightly ahead of schedule on Row 3. Want it out before we go home on March 27. These SB Sue blocks are fun and am trying out a new applique method.

Whigrose I am glad not to be the only one with trouble with paper piecing! Hang in there! Krisb I am getting so excited about my Sunbonnet Sues!
