Doing ok here, QE; thanks for asking. At 5:00 it was 66*-we've had tons of rain all day, it was so dark all day, too. Hope everyone is ok. Running late on posting pics. Finished working on paperpieced Storm at Sea wall hanging today. QE & Anael created a paperpiecing monster---me LOL!! I love it and have been doing most of the PC blocks this way. Made all those little triangles behave in County Fair.

JanRN ... Thank goodness you are OK! I haven't heard that there were any touchdowns in Penn, though pics look pretty messy in Missouri, Colorado and Kansas. There's only been a brief mention of Iowa ... so why I am hoping that MissyOK is indeed OK!

Now .... would you please get that camera clicking and show us this Storm at Sea masterpice?
And while you're at it, how about that ten sided wonder?
And of course, this week's blocks too!!!

I'm okay for which I'm very grateful. The storm went south of us and took out a large part of a small town on the Ohio River. I didn't even realize how bad they were until the news tonight. Still a couple more days of unseasonably warm weather so we're being prayful.

JeanieG...rest well and be refreshed!

Mirabelle...stay dry and safe.

So glad to hear all of you are ok...The weather the last couple of years has been horrific... I have cut out the pping sections and fabric strips so tonite after "Survivor" i will start putting it together. Later, H

I'm in the middle of PP the county fair block. On those sets of 4 "corner" triangle pieces, I found that if I pieced C4 to C1 first then did C2 and C3 keeping the pieces in place was easier. Anyone else experience this. Now back to the sewing room have been gone all day.

And yes, everything OK here in NE Iowa. Glad to hear QNS and the rest are fine too. Rain last night and drizzle and 32 degrees all day today. Had to make a road trip today--hate the thought of driving when it's near freezing and raining as a decrease in temp can happen so fast and then it's ICE.

Yes, the weather is fine here and the pony express will run today; so all who have PM-ed me will get their packets. May be little like my Mother.... When she was a freshman, the Home economics teacher ask all 19 girls to list their Siunday dinner menu...and they all listed the same thing which made the teacher mad to get 19 same answers until she discovered they had all eaten with my Mother at Grandma Carrie's house. So it will interesting how many pieces show up at the same time. Yes, Anne, you are getting a bit more of that Red fabric, as well as the others who PM-ed me. Its all the fault of QuiltE who tiptoed in the chuck wagon for a midnight bit of fabric...from my stash...I told daughter all this activity has not reduced by stash by an inch yet. May be there is still hope.

Yes, thanks, everyone for your help. It is the size of the picture even though I had it in Picassco, the free Google program. Will post photos and story later today after working with dd this afternoon or pm. QNS

I know I know .. I'm always stirring things up! but I just couldn't resist as your fabrics were just too tempting, QNSue!It's added so much fun to the whole ride!So glad that everyone missed the storm ... the pics of the devastation are unbelievable.And then you sent it northward ho!We did get snow (not a lot, couple inches?) then freezing rain and a lot of blowing. Today again, it's hovering around freezing ... and like OKSGlad mentioned ... not good driving weather, too much a chance of black ice.I had my hydro out for over 3-1/2 hrs yesterday afternoon ... and then intermittent flashes after it came back on. It seldom goes out here, so must have been something serious. All I've found out yet is that it was blamed on the winds and ice ... some areas a little further off suffered more for that than here. Hopefully, all settles today ... again hovering around freezing, right now dripping off the eavestroughs. Weekend ... is to be ccccccold and by next Wednesday +9C. Go figure!!!!!!

This weeks blocks are so inspiring. I don't like my Children's Delight and will rework some of it before I post. Couple more sips of coffee and than back to work.

I was hesitant to post my blocks. I feel like they don't "fit in" with the theme of Pony Club. I love all your blocks and fabrics but I can't do those. I'm going to use fabric that I have in my stash and just make my own "nonPony Club" quilt. I hope you guys won't kick me off this wagon train. I really love all your cute and theme-appropriate blocks but I've been stressing over how to add some cuteness to mine. I confess that I haven't enjoyed making them and I quilt for enjoyment, not stress. So if it's okay with you all, I'll still tag along but I'll have to be your "city cousin"--I just can't do farm life. I love all your blocks---I hope I'm making sense and no one is offended. Please know I really, really love all your blocks. If there's no room for the city gal, I'm okay with that!! I'll still ooh and aah with you all.

Oh Jan please stay with us! These blocks are just a representation of how each one of us interpret the blocks. Your blocks always add to the mix--why? Because they are different just as we are all different quilters. There's not going to be sunsets or ponies in my blocks. Just pieces of fabric I already have on hand. So stay with us, okay?
