Krystyna, dont get grumpy. Sometimes things happen. I PM'd you earlier and will gladly do another partner. Mine is so wonderful so I am keeping her. Also, I finished Hobbykat's today and will mail on Monday. I could use another weekend warrior project.
tammy if your like me you put it at the store where it belongs I am a newbie to using solids. Give me blenders anyday and shoot while I am ordering out hows about nice patterns to go with it on the side?

I am finished with my DQ... I loved working with the solids... A little story I found out last night. My Husband is a painter and often times I go with him as his helper. We did a job for a childhood friend's parents. His friend had passed away earlier in the year and the Mom was so sweet to us. She found out I was a quilter and gave me lots of fabrics, a huge box of fabrics that were mostly solids, and also she gave me a hand quilting hoop, really cool to quilt while you watch tv... Any way last night I was showing hubby my Amish quilt and told him I used some of the fabric that his friend's Mom had given me. He told me that she was Mennonite, and had come from Pennsylvania.
So my Amish Doll Quilt was actually made from Mennonite Fabric, I have found very little difference in the styles of Quilting. Here is a sneak peek for Needle Grammy. It will be in the mail Monday Morning.

Krystyna I would love to be an Angel... Although I do on occasion have some tiny horns poking out... (I though they were necessary to hold up the Halo)

I am not grumpy at all today. Actually, reflecting on the words of a quilty pal, the stinky days, when they roll around, make the other ones so much sweeter ~ and today is a honey of a day.
And ... I received my quilt from Lara already. I think she set some kind of record. Pix to follow.
And Marybeth sent me the sweetest little monkey whose arms were full of yummy FQs! Thank you for brightening my day.

Just looking at QuiltingKrazy's fabric, I think most quilters on this board would say, "Blah" ... BUT I think this is going to be one of the most amazing months ever. The simplicity of the fabric really allows the design itself to shine.
I have my blocks done and am now working on the sashing. We went to Joann yesterday so I could pick up some goodies for my secret pal and I noticed the Accuquilt Go! dies were on sale at 40% off. They didn't have much there, but I picked up a strip die. Not sure if I'm going to keep it or not. It is really tough to crank that long die.
