Thank you also for the extras, I will have to think of something special to make with them

Now back to the grindstone

Honchey ... you got me "pegged" ... butter! I too have been following the Oklahoma tornado updates. So much devastation and death. So sad.

MiraB and OKSGlad ... my goodness that is a beauty! Though I'm surprised that it was from Illinois ...... not Iowa! Is that yellow in the centre a Fairy Frost? What a lovely trio of blocks!

Correction--although I'd like to take credit--it's not my block, mirabelle!!

Great flowers ladies!! including QE's fabric one! It's lovely.

What a flash of diamonds Jan!! Wonderful.

Carrie--Rollin', rollin', rollin' down the river--your bevy of blocks reminds me of paddle wheels!

Orioles will be happy in the morning. but have to get both a new hummingbird and oriole feeder--broke one of the liquid containers on the 2nd oriole feeder and a hanger on a hummingbird feeder. Will be lots of fighting now!

Who wants to have my killer kitty who went kind of crazy? She acts like something is haunting her!

Great setup Anael would be perfect for quilting on, I love it

You can keep your killer kitty, I'm not allowed to have any more cats, DH and I used to breed and show Persians many many moons ago and our Grand Champion, Benfield Fatima Pasquale (yes that was her name) was not supposed to be in the driveway when I was reversing my car. I will let you all imagine what happened next. DH didn't speak to me for a week

Finished the borders on my quilt, took a photo and my camera decided to do stupid things and DS erased my pic, so will take another one tomorrow. Also finished the applique (yay) and got the first border on my lap quilt. Will try and get it finished tomorrow..

DH will be home for lunch tomorrow so I had better do some grocery shopping in the morning...

Interesting table Anael. Mirabelle, thanks for making me feel good...thought I was the only one who made mistakes on here, but you have the better excuse of being excited about the new block. Beautiful block.

Mine is finally getting the the post today ..... for.................tune in later. Not telling who gets the MB.

Not sure we will ever reach the happy 50 years of marriage; yesterday was so bad...but today is a new day. Off to get our haircuts today! If only I knew how to get dh a job!! Somewhere other than home!!

Yes, Oklahoma gets bad tornadoes every year. And Iowa gets floods and that can be very bad news as well. Dublb, have fun on your trip.

Mirabelle...I'm so glad you liked the block. For each block I do, I sweat bullets trying to get it as good as I possibly can and this one was no exception. I only wanted to give you a sample of how beautiful the Mirabelle material is. I noticed yesterday that my LQS got in more of the line in. It's all so beautiful.
Dubib...have a safe, fun trip.
QuiltE...love the GMFG. Glad you got the grunt work done in your yard so now you can enjoy it. Beautiful MB!
OK....what a good neighbor you are! Hope the preventive measures aren't put to the test.
Carrie...what a beautiful back yard. Nice place to sit and watch the birds.
QNS...sorry for the conflict at home. Does you DH have a buddy that he can spend time with on a regular basis? A change is scenery would help both of you.
Janie...I was at the garden center yesterday and was amazed to see an entire section devoted to fairy gardening. You really are cutting edge!!
Anael...a perfect quilting table! It would be so nice to have that much room.
Good day at class yesterday. A new project which I will make into a baby quilt for my GG??? I'm putting the SS quilt into rows and hope to get it done this week so I can use the design wall. It rained last night and the forcast is for stormy weather today and tomorrow.
FYI...for those sending to Australia....I mailed the block May 5 using one of those large cardboard envelopes from the PO. I did have it in a priory envelope because that's what I had at home but that would have cost over $26 so I slipped it into the different envelope.

Update on the twins: no going home yet. Bram has to go to Groningen (UMC) because he has a double hernia. It's causing trouble and he might have to go back on a ventilator for a while. Isa still has eye problems and they still didn't deicde whether she needs an operation or not.
I don't feel very happy right now
