JeanieG

Oh my Jan and QuiltE, you outdid yourselves on those blocks! Beautiful!

I am working on my Alabama Star, my December Spike Block, and just finished getting Step 5 done on my Bonnie Hunter Mystery. I got the block and fabric out for my January MB, and need to finish two mini MB to be caught up on them. I decided I was going to use the Mini's as a border somehow on my MB quilt. I kind of like all the variety I have going! I can do PP, then switch to piecing. I never get bored at any rate!

QuiltE

**more giggles**
Yes imagine that ... shame on her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Missed you too DD!!!!!!!!!!!!




JeanieG .... that'd be a no, no and yes!
Honchey ... no again .... I don't "get" sergers, and so far have not seen a need for them, for me)

(*hint* sewing machine store sells more than sewing machines,
just that I call it that, being that is where I buy my machines!)





BTW ... Honchey ... does your Gallery sell the double headed quilting needles. I have been looking for them here and have not been able to find them. CarrieM does not have them at her LQS.

QE, love the pink block and its little sister. I made 3 little ones then stopped, not knowing what I'd do with them. Jeanie I used 3" blocks in the border of my Pony quilt--I loved the look of them scattered around the corners.

Here's what I got in the mail today from DD--2 awesome blocks! Thank you, Candace![ATTACH=CONFIG]454734[/ATTACH]

Thanks

Done QuiltE...

Machine needles or Hand sewing...I can order twin needles for machine sewing...I haven't seen them..I can check the fons & porter section to see if they have them....Maybe Clover might make them..check online...I did have them years ago..not that easy to use...you need to create a steady rhythm in order to get any actual sewing done...I couldn't do it..they are weird..the eye is in the middle of the needle!!!...

Taday was a busy one again but much more enjoyable. First as I was doin' my mornin' chores (which I do before I change outta my jammies) DH was online lookin' at scopes for one o' his rifles. He was gonna settle on a less expensive one rather than the one he really wanted. Our anniversary will be on the 14th so I went & got the envelope w/cash that I had socked away for his anniversary gift & told him not ta settle. Then I finished my chores & took a shower. So he ordered it & we went ta the bank ta deposit the $$ ta cover the order. The bank is next ta Academy Sportin' Goods. We stopped in there & both o' us bought some clothes. Then DH gassed up his truck. We then went ta Walgreens & picked up his eyedrops & I got some more Musinex D. Walgreens is next ta Handcock Fabrics so we went inta there & DH bought me a set o' cuttin' mats that clip tagether & become 70" long! (For part o' my anniversary.) Then we came home & had lunch. After lunch he told me ta go online & pick out several other things for my anniversary. After I picked a few things out we headed ta Bed Bath & Beyond & bought the curtain rods for the curtains I got in the mail last week. As we got home from there My DM called ta see if she & my DGM can come over. They were here for 2 hours. Now we are talkin' supper. I think we are gonna send #2DSon ta pick up Mexican food.
