Hello, all. I am still here, it has been a hectic summer, we are on our third set of visitors & we went to WI. We have a family reunion the weekend after Labor Day & I have a quilt I am finishing for that then I will knock out all my blocks. Like bebe I work well under pressure!
I am chomping at the bit to get started on the blocks. Jo |

Grandmother's Cross is for mghrs...I only used 1 red...do you want me to do it over and add another? and Barbsbus's Pieced Star. Hope they are alright. Let me know if not Patti |

Oh my Barb that must be very difficult. Perhaps when you premake his meals you could put different things in different containers, for instance tupperware small rounds are soup, and rectangular glad has lazana? I know different kinds of containters "feel different" either in the type of the plastic or with the name imprinted on the top. I don't know what your collection of plastic looks like, though I just learned that while the deli select lunch meat has glad emblazed on the top, the Butterball slices have Butterball indented on the top. Would something like that help? |
Barb, we did the same with my sister in law.
We would put "tags" on the arches of her shoes that she could feel the difference and sameness with. Many times she would leave the house with mismatched shoes. Silly girl! :) She loves the Glad containers since they have an embossed seal on them and we had gone and bought her a braille embossing machine. Would make labels for her clothes and food for her. That worked wonders! She is a very independent woman and doesn't like to take help from anyone. Makes me mad at times. We would make recordings for her so she could remember where things were. I actually told her once that I wrote her a note and left it on her counter. If she needed "help", she could just go and read it. lol I thought I was going to be caned to death! So glad I'm the favorite sister in law! lmao |
My plan is to do 2 each month. Posted 2 for July & have the fabric picked for 2 for August but not started sewing yet. :roll:

Elizabeth A - I like that block just fine. Thank you! bettlove

Hello Ladies glad to hear from several of you.
Thanks for making great looking blocks and being such good troppers. I myself am boggled down with different groups I belong to and things I need to do asap!!!!!! Yikes :!: :!: :!: :roll: :shock: :shock: Get going Bebe I have not made blocks yet for this challenge but will soon. :?: :?: :oops: You ladies keep up the good work. Love the new blocks that were made :thumbup: :thumbup: |

I finally bit the bullet and tried the log cabin block for Bettlove, but alas, I made a mistake on the first piece I sewed on. Boo Hoo, I didn't even see it until I was completely done. I will have to rip it out and fix it, but that is okay. I'm thinking about changing my board name to Sir Rip-a-lot. Heh, Heh.
Bettlove, I hope you like the colors though. Debbie P.S. I know what I was supposed to do, but I must have been having a senior moment. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it. LOL |
That's one good looking Log Cabin block, in my opinion, Deb. Good Job. Log Cabin's are one of my favorite blocks.
|
Puz that is a beautiful log cabin.

Thanks, I did redo it, because it was way too big. I went back and remeasured the strips and measured after each round I sewed on. I didn't realize that the pattern showed what the measurements should be along the way.
Here is the mess I made just for one block. LOL Debbie |
That is a very pretty block Puzwhiz. Thank you for doing it.

Just checking in- I haven't started my blocks yet, but printed all the directions and started fabric piles. Just finished the last of the reunions and christening. Now I'll be able to get to work on it.

I have a question about colors: Dreamxer you listed pastels with black background. Do you want multiple pastel colors and the dark of the pattern to be black? Or can we use one pastel?
ccBear is the white background just in the fabric or are the white colors on pattern to be white? I have found most of the colors but didn't really want to put the stark white with the earthtones. I think those are the only questions I have so far. |
Sandpat, those blocks are just great!
|
Congragulations Nellie on the birth of your Gradaughter yesterday!!!!!!

ccBear is the white background just in the fabric or are the white colors on pattern to be white? I have found most of the colors but didn't really want to put the stark white with the earthtones. I want an off white or beige backgroud. I'm sure that anything you make will be great. I can't wait to see more of my blocks. |
