Good for you Carriem, but I bet you are learning to sew really really fast

Have a safe trip QuiltE chat to you when you get back, where are the marshmallows??? did you take them with you...

Mirabelle, I had some more coffee. I don't know if it helped
I added some pictures to the Ode to my Mom thread. I thought I only had 1 block to go but I have to make 2. One applique and one pieced and applique. I should have done the applique blocks first.

Marshmallows? Where? Who has them?

Anael

Carrie how did you finish a Spike block and quilting a row within 1 hour? We should call you Speedy Carrie

Anael--I just had a few pieces left to add to the SYE block #2 and then joining the 6 sections. For quilting it was outlining 3 planes and then just 4 "x's" in the little blocks....sounds like a lot more than it really was.

Today I hope to get the 1st border on...

We just got home from lunch (Red Lobster) and I got the mail...my pretty MB from D_D came today!!

D_D--you may have had trouble pp'ing, but it turned out great. Thanks!! This block will hopefully help to prepare you a little for the SYE blocks.

I spent most o' the day at the old house & am bushed! We packed & threw away a ton o' stuff. It's hard for me at throw away stuff. I'm emotionally bushed also! I have all my kids clothes in the attic. I was gonna donate 'em but they will all have ta be washed. No organization in Midland wants 'em unless they are washed. (I don't blame 'em either, They don' have washers & dryers.) We have decided ta just leave 'em there. Whoever gits the house can trash 'em. It would take us a couple o' days ta git 'em outta there.
On another note I found my first stash! It was in my bedroom closet! Wow. I'm gonna love makin' quilts outta that stuff.
PS I have just heard from a friend o' mine. She is gonna be in Midland tanight & we are gonna grill ribs for her & her DH.
