QuiltE, I just trotted over to the Int'l Patriotic Challenge and your Monty is quite the dashing fellow!! I like the mustache as the only facial feature and the horse will look fabulous next to him. You're very creative.

Back home again...didn't get a lot of cutting done the past couple days, but we did go to 3 quilt shops. Crystal and I both were able to find a few more FQs for our pony club blocks (30s for her and KT for me). We had a great little trip with the kids and they didn't complain too much about going to quilt shops as we found other fun places to stop in-between. I also bought fabric and a pattern for a table topper...needed something for a wedding this weekend! Guess what I will be working on tomorrow? I'll post a pic when I am done. carrie

Boy are we a busy group!
Honchey - beautiful block!
Meribelle - I understand about that empty nest comin' up. Though DS recently told us that he is still gonna stay in Midland & go ta Midland College one more year. He's the last one.
OK - it sounds like ya are havin' a good time at the fair. Your DGSon looks so proud.
Jan - I love that blue w/your blocks!! It ties 'em all tagether! I'm so sorry about your DM. I know that I used ta make my DMIL walk outside every day for about 10 min.s The Dr said that she needed the exercise. (I pushed her pretty hard ta do it.) After a while I realized that she had more trouble when I walked her. I had ta decide what ta do. I know that your DM needs the therapy, so you were doin' what you thought was best, with the info you had at the time. {{{HUGS}}}
Carrie & Crystal went on a FART (& did some other things!) Fun!
GG - Your quilts are gorgeous!!!

I did sign on my "new" lake house in Brady! Yippie! (I found out that it was built in 1920 & was a farm house, & someone moved it ta Brady in 1966! My DGP's bought it in 1982 & GM sold it in 2006 after DGDad died died in '05.) Now I gotta do a lot'a work on it. Inside needs paintin' & all o'the floorin' needs to be replaced. The hot water heater quit heatin' that afternoon. Lots ta do! We are gonna check out the store room & figure what we want ta take & do a few other things here in Midland this weekend & go back next weekend.

Here is the table topper I made for a wedding gift....this is some of what I bought Thursday. Definitely a pattern I will make again! It is ~22" finished. (original pattern was 44" and used 8 strips so I just cut everything in half).

I started this table topper yesterday. Just had to sew one seam on the top this morning and then quilt and bind. I decided to use heat resistant batting so it can be used as a hot pad too.

Sorry the one picture is a little blurry!!

Lovely job; very colorful and useful. Lucky couple who gets the gift.

Ggal your quilts are beautiful well done,
Carriem I love your tabletopper, is that a smaller version. I made one and it was huge..

Mirabelle--the original pattern was 44" across and used 8 strips. It is called "Crazy Eight Strip Teaser". I made it with 4 strips and cut the triangles with the base half of what the pattern said to...it finished right around 22". I thought the big one was too big for what I needed, but really liked the pattern so figured I would buy it and make it work.

Ggal--I agree your quilts are really great! I missed them earlier.

Oh! Carrie, it sure is purdy!
