    Gemm, thanks for the photo of how you have used some of your 2.5 stash. One more option, my friends and a good use of orphan blocks too!

    Crispy, 12 it is! Our lists agree!

    I made a few more wonky stars but have but it aside for a few days. I need to tackle some other projects and make my June list of Quilts to finish. I know it will be three bindings and a UFO to be quilted. I hear tell I also will be getting two hospice quilts that need repair next week. Lots of "To Dos".

    Happy Belated Birthday, Gaijin! Although this greeting is a week old, I trust you are having an absolutely great time enjoying your newest trip around the sun.

    To all the June birthdays that are coming up, I have mailed my candies (last Tuesday evening) and they will hopefully be winging their way to you well in time for your bday.

    I can't wait to read what everyone has been up to but I will have to wait a little bit longer to do a dive into the QB. Too many things are going on.... normal life things, but keeping me hopping and traveling more than normal and I am having no time to quilt and no time to explore online rabbit holes. "Life disrupted" is this chapter of my world at the moment. Off to Houston in a couple hours to visit a newborn niece. Yay!

    Quilty hugs to all.

    Oh, a baby, ibex. How delightful! A distractions from your everyday responsibilities I am sure. Travel on and enjoy snuggling the new little one.

    I have internet again. UGH, So very sorry everyone. I was without technology for about 2 weeks bc of many things that happened at once all bc of all of the RAIN that we have had. So I can now say that the June envelopes have been mailed. I am hoping that some of them may have arrived. Sorry everyone. I am hoping that I can finally get caught up on all the posts. Boy we really are reliant on technology these days, although as the days passed, it was rather nice to not be tied to a computer.

    Heathermom, sorry you had the internet problem. I feel your pain. Been there, done that.

    Ibex, congrats on the new family member!

    Here’s my work for the last 2.5 day that I had to finish. It’s a 9 patch top made with 2-1/2 squares from a swap years ago. For some reason, I struggled getting this done because I don’t really like it but done the top finally is. I’m going to give it to someone else to finish and donate away. The pic is poorly lit. The borders and sashings are white.

    Have a pleasant evening!

    Thanks for the post and photo, Janice. Little squares put to use is always a good thing. And you have a plan to pass it on for someone else to finish it and that probably feels good. Out of your hands and into someone else's sewing plan.

    Almost time for our first June birthday, June 2nd. Prep the confetti, balloons and set aside time to bake the cake! Tee-Hee-Hee!
