K-Roll, I think we all have more than one project going at the same time. LOL That just seems to be a quilter's trait. I have to be in the mood to work on something. If I'm not, I just mess up everything I touch and have to re-do it. I've learned to just put something down and walk away when that happens.

Update: My machine has actually died. My poor Brother started smoking and I could smell burning wires. It kept locking and giving me an error code. It was only 15 years old but maybe that's like cat years so it was really 100+ or something. I have one other machine I can use and it always works no matter how long it sits. The irony is that it actually is 100+ years old. It's a hand-crank Singer! I will be shopping for another machine soon. It may be time for an upgrade so time will tell. In the meantime, I will finish the last two sets I have started on my Singer.

GracefulAnn, I am so sorry your machine has died on you. I hate losing something that I depend on. But, on the bright side, you'll have a blast shopping for a new machine! How lucky that you have your vintage Singer to use. Aren't they wonderful!?

Libster I love my old Singer. I bought it at a boot sale back in 1989 when I was stationed in London UK. I used it to stitch my husbands patches and ranks on his air force uniforms back then. I used it to stitch my oldest daughters first Christmas dress and lots of baby quilts. My husband would actually crank for me while I controlled the bulky uniforms under the needle.

I love the blocks I have been seeing from all you talented ladies. I adore the little gingerbread girl with the curly icing hair! Great job everyone!

snownannie, love the blocks I PMed you with the address info.

Sleepy Hollow I did receive your blocks I PMed you the day I got them.

GracefulAnn sorry to hear your sewing machine died but as Libster said you can have fun looking for a new one, there are a lot of them out there now. I have a Topaz 40 and I love it. Just got to figure out how to work the embroidery part of it, I would love to make some Christmas Ornaments on it.

Ladies just a friendly reminder that The deadline (October 7th) to have the blocks to me is coming upon us fast. I am loving all the blocks that I have received and the ones that are getting ready to arrive.

I am doing well, thank you. Still working on my blocks but hoping to get them out by Monday. We came through the hurricane in good shape except for some roof damage.
