I had a very fun aunt who used to send all her Christmas cards out in April. We never knew if she was late or early and she never said. But it was a treat as they were usually accompanied by a present for the family. So Henry you are in good company for sure!

henryparrish76 04-12-2008 11:28 AM

Wow, now that rocks!:)

Exquisite! And wouldn't it make for a beautiful wall hanging in a church for Easter and beyond? Are you going to publish it so that others of us might be able to buy it?

henryparrish76 04-13-2008 01:10 PM

Alas, I havent been able to start it. I have been so busy with work and then with my family. We are planning an 88th birthday party for my grandmother. :):):)

Lois-nounoe 04-16-2008 08:11 PM

Isn't that program a blast!!!! :lol: I got the Wizard cause I couldn't really afford the other one. It is a lot of bang for your buck isn't it?? :lol: I have designed four that I have made so far and another four or so on the first night that I installed it. It has more than enough toys for me to play with!! I know you will have lots and lots of fun with it, Henry. Good luck and show us more of your designs when you make them.

quiltingchic 04-16-2008 09:05 PM

Oh what a beautiful design it looks like it will be fun to make good luck with it can't wait to see it finished

Cathy M 04-16-2008 09:12 PM

Wow- 88 years young!! That is quite an accomplishment for your grandma. Family parties are very fun - its a quick way to get caught up on all the family happenings. At ours the little kids like to see if they are now taller than my sisterinlaw and myself. I can still punch them pretty hard hahahaa...not really, they tend to punch back...

Barb M 04-16-2008 09:23 PM

oh oooh, where there's a party, there's gotta be food, and lots of it! Gonna have to watch out Henry! lol Hey, that's really great your grandma turning 88, i think it'll be a great party :)

Celeste 04-17-2008 12:22 AM

Please, Henry, your Grandma is such a treasure and I hope you can share her birthday with the rest of us and post pictures! I hope this means she's been feeling better?

Cross Quilt Info
===========
Blocks are 6" by6"
There are 30 of them that make up this quilt.
The inner border is 5"
the outer is 3"
The blocks used are rolling stone 2, Greek cross and card trick. I think this quilt looks best in pastels. I tried darker colors and didn't like the results. So thats why i went pastels.

Of the fabrics used. the mostly white 96 patches so 1 1/8 yd material
yellow 84 patches 3 1/4 yd material
yellow dotted 48 5/8 yd
green 48 patches 5/8 yd
white with the red and other color dots in it 64 patches and 7/8 yd
lighter pinkish fabric 48 patches 5/8 yd
red 4 long strips 2 1/2 yd
purple 298 patches 2 3/4 yd
blue 32 patches 5/8 yd

I hope I got it all down there for you.

you are very welcome

Lois-nounoe 04-21-2008 04:14 PM

I love the info that the Wizard gives for your quilts. I like to print out my design, each block with rotary directions, and the specifics for each quilt I make. I take the fabric info to the store with me and buy what I want from that. Very very easy. :lol:
