See biz, I recall my mother saying the same thing “I don’t know how you do it!” But we did, and they do. I enjoy being a Gramma so much better.
glad you got to see them and they needed to know you are safe and sound. Rest now as this is what Labor Day is all about
love the kitty blocks and libster

A double blessing! I've been going through all the baggies. All 19 are present and accounted for! Last night I actually sewed a few more rows of a charity quilt I wanted to get finished before doing the f8s. There are some really pretty F8s this time. This Boom should be a lot of fun! Hope all of you get yours soon too.
My daughter and son and SIL and grandkids are all coming to see us this weekend. Daughter will cook and clean house for us... a real treat! They will arrive tomorrow evening.

[QUOTE=travelinggramma;8615388]Reba - your F8 yelled the loudest! I was able to use you charm in the middle and your fabric as background. The pattern is called Checkerboard Star. Hope you like.
Now for a first:
My Bernina Record 830 does not have an on-off switch. I had finished the outsides and middle and ironed them all, placed them under pressure foot so fan would not blow them, and went to bed.
This morning they were all tightly sewn together. one of the dogs must have laid on the foot pedal and I had forgotten to unplug the machine

I received my package Friday afternoon, then we left for camp. I just got home a couple of hours ago, and was able to open each package. Loving all the beautiful fabrics.

Good morning. Gorgeous WNC day again. I updated the gallery just now. I'll try to do it every morning from here on out - at least as time permits. Can't wait to see more pix of your blocks! Have a nice week.

Thank you Janice and Log Cabin for the adorable kitty blocks, the colorway is just what I had in mind.
This morning I went to the post office to collect my Boom package. Inside were 19 beautiful pretties that I can't wait to start sewing with. I've read your notes and now can start pulling the requested fabric...ah now the fun begins!
Our trip to the South was uneventful which is always a good thing. I ended up convincing DH to make the trip over two days instead of driving for 16+ hours. I'm so happy we got a well needed break from driving and a decent night's sleep. Our kitty was so well behaved, she slept in her bed the entire time we were on the road.
