Thanks Robert unfortunately there a frequent visitor so this weeks have gotten better but I know they will be back either next week or the week after. Diabetes isn't any fun either. I'm glad you have your little piece of comfort my Pom comes in the bed with me and cuddles too when I don't feel well. How was Cathys chemo today? Did they ship the machine yet? I know I couldn't wait for it to come. I love it

You know my little Bentley ( the dog) knows when I'm not feeling well (diabetes) and we will jump up on the bed and just cuddly down with me. It's like a sugar cloud melting in your mouth, it's almost like heaven.
Let me know if you need anything....R

Crafty3790 09-01-2011 12:56 PM

I like that I meant it to be that way.

dotcomdtcm 09-01-2011 12:59 PM

Who is getting it next? I just got Judy's & Robert's from Abonda.
Am I #4 on Judy's & #6 on Robert's. Yeah, I need a scorecard!

Crafty3790 09-01-2011 02:33 PM

Your doing the last row on Roberts then its home to him.Judys go to Robert then its home to him.
Linda and Abonda each do a row on yours then its home to you.
I got Abondas today I do a row then Linda then its home to her.
Lindas is at JUdy I think then I get it then its home to her then I confuse you all and change the direction for the next one.

I will bind it. I like to add binding. Dotty

Crafty3790 09-01-2011 03:38 PM

Great thanks for volunteering did those links help I have a few more I just need to see which computer there bookmarked on.

dotcomdtcm 09-01-2011 03:44 PM

To review, we are doing another RR w 2 new friends and making blocks for a fidget quilt. Correct?

rfbrazell 09-01-2011 05:13 PM

Love to binding, I am willing to do it. It's relaxing for me to sit and watch TV while I sewing the binding, by hand.
We just got back and today will be a good day, but starting tomorrow we'll see. It usually starts ( the side effects) about 24 hours after the infusion. So I probably won't get much sewing done this weekend.
Haven't got my machine yet, Ron ( the owner ) just called me and will have a shipping date for me tomorrow.
Then I can get Dotty's packaged and shipped to her.
Glad you are felling better.

abonda 09-01-2011 05:34 PM

Maine lady I love your center. Can't wait to work on it.

Crafty Love the color you chose for Dottys. I think it was meant to be that way! :) Love to start making block for the fidget quilt. Is it that we make a block and send it to you? I'm not sure how you are working that? Robert thanks I'm glad you like my new center. Hope this time the side effects are not as bad... saying prayers still. Anything ginger will help with the nausea..

lfstamper 09-01-2011 05:35 PM

Love that frame - really makes the beautiful flowers stand out! Lucky friend

rfbrazell 09-01-2011 06:00 PM

abonda 09-01-2011 06:09 PM

All of you guys are way too much!!! I love you all. As for an update: I have taken a shower! Washed my clothes and dishes (yuk)didn't miss that! Have cut off branches to the trees but not cut main trunks yet? Have my Air Condition so I'm all set!!! heat and me do not agree... Am holding my fence up with bungee cords for now ha ha hope it works!! And my cabanna is in Kansas with Dorothy lol I have my computer and quilting friends and my sewing machine so life is good! Thank you all so so much, you did not have to do what you did but??????? I

Crafty3790 09-02-2011 03:40 AM

Abonda I think you need some duct tape to go with the bungee cord you know it's good for everything. LOL
Dotty the blocks for the fidget quilt is in addition to your own center youse only need to make either one or 2 blocks for that then I will have them sent to me to put together into a top. For example I'm making a block and it will be a rectangle and I'm going to sew a zipper on it. Im going to back it with flannel the edges will be fringed except for where the binding goes this way they have something else to touch.
I'm glad everyone likes the row I added.
Does everyone understand what where doing?
So Dotty you need a center to send out.

dotcomdtcm 09-02-2011 05:03 AM

I have my center planned. I have to get the fabric.

Crafty3790 09-02-2011 06:10 AM

Sounds good.
People can start sending me blocks whenever They want.
Now as to what to do with it. There is a site for Alzheimer's if we want to do that but abonda posted something about making one for a family member pm me if you all want the first one to go to them.

dotcomdtcm 09-02-2011 06:25 AM

to family, first
what size block?

rfbrazell 09-02-2011 08:21 AM

Family first for me too.
Also what size block, I suppose i can wait until you answer miss doctor....

maine ladybug 09-02-2011 08:26 AM

I'm wondering if you would like to know what type of block we will be sending to you,ie, zipper, buttons, etc. If you would like to know, I will do a zipper block. Then, same question as the others, what size? Oh and, what type/color fabric?

cattailsquilts 09-02-2011 08:48 AM

Just peeking in, I have to say that I am SUPER jealous of Robert's quilt! They are all gorgeous, but that cherry tree border is Stunning!!

Great job all! Wish I was in your group! :)

Crafty3790 09-02-2011 10:52 AM

Ok so we each need to make a different block. I say anywhere from 12x12 to 12x 18 it's for a female so let's find out seeing the consensus is family first so Linda and abonda what is her favorite colors.
We can't all do zippers so maybe buttons someone said they used a garter the old ones they attached each end then they could fasten and unfasten then maybe a snap flap.
Again the most important thing is be sure they are well attached so they can't be removed and put in their mouth.

Crafty3790 09-02-2011 10:53 AM

If we can all say what we are making so if someone already said it we can choose something else.

Okay, so... I got out my Crazy Quilt scraps & found a lot of textured squares... zigzagged them down on a backing & then covered the seam with ribbon.

These squares are very tactile.

The yellow ribbon is velvet. I just have to sew down the squiggle and add buttons.

maine ladybug 09-02-2011 12:19 PM

I don't have to do zippers if you would rather I did something else. Just let me know please. Thanks.

Here is my Fidget block. I don't have a lot of ego involved, so if it doesn't go with whatever else you get, it's ok. I think it would make a fun pillow.

Crafty3790 09-02-2011 12:59 PM

I like it it looks great. Maine ladybug you can do a zipper.

Ok, thanks. That block is great. I can almost feel it myself.

ljdugas31 09-02-2011 01:58 PM

That is wonderful!!! Her favorite colors are red and blues. I will make a tree with texture and bottons like a christmas tree.

abonda 09-02-2011 02:31 PM

I will make something with fur! a purse or animal or flowers something with fur. Thanks

abonda 09-02-2011 02:31 PM

abonda 09-02-2011 03:17 PM

Robert you can have the same kind of center. I know that in the end they both will be different.... so.... don't change...

ljdugas31 09-02-2011 03:30 PM

Robert great minds think alike!! Don 't change it,they all come out different.Yours sound beautiful,i love all flowers so i tend to lean toward that. :-)

Crafty3790 09-02-2011 04:28 PM

I love it and Robert keep what you want we can make them look different.
I found these great embroidery halfs that a zipper goes in the center but Im going to use velcro I will post pics when I do it.For the fidget and I had a pillow that had these great velour roses and there tightly sewn so Im going to use one or them.

Crafty3790 09-02-2011 04:32 PM

That sounds great these are going to be fun doing and will be a great gift to someone.If you guys get on a roll feel free to make as many as you want we can donate them to other places. I have the site for the group so I can check where the best place to send them or girls if there are other people where your mother is that could use them let us know.If any of the rest of you have someone to give them to speak up.

Crafty3790 09-02-2011 04:34 PM

If you can keep a look out for garters I would love to use them on one of the ones we make.

maine ladybug 09-02-2011 05:38 PM

You guys are great! Those wheels are really turning and the quilt sounds like it will be wonderful.
I love the center Linda and I agree, Robert your would end up completely different I'm sure. I don't think you should change what you were going to do either. JMHO
