That's so sad! We need to tell ourselves everyday "I am beautiful...maybe not perfect but God thinks I-am-beautiful!"

Kelsey is doing fine, as far as I know. She has been very busy catching up with friends. Sunday she took off for Michigan to visit her boyfriend that she met while in Korea. I hope to see her again next week.

Howdy Yall!!
Cathie is here and we have been having tons of fun. My mom and step dad are in NC and so we have been house sitting. I have been commissioned to make a quilt that will be auctioned off to raise money for an organization called Better Bed Rest. As I understand it, the organization helps moms who are on bed rest before they have their babies. Anyway...I'm going to to expose my ignorance here but I have to. I need your help. The quilt that I have designed and been asked to make (the picture of the design is below) has quite a few triangles and I have almost NO experience making half-square triangles. The finished HST blocks need to be 2 1/2 inches. HELP!! Thank you guys so much in advance!! Missy |

Missy,
I am confused. You need a nine-patch, of which one block inside is 2.5 inches? Or you need the entire nine-patch to be 2.5 inches? |
Missy, maybe this link will help
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-8342-1.htm If you don't want to fuss with the 7/8" you can just add 1" and then trim to size. Much easier IMHO. |

Good evening you beautiful group of skinnies! (In mind first, then the body follows)
Murphy1 and BettyKay, thank you for your sweet words about my quilt. Judy, thank you, but I have never felt that putting colors together was something I did well. Actually, my friend Michelle helped me. I was buying the fabric in her shop and fell in love with the leaved print (border fabric) and we went from there. Really this pattern calls for more contrast. You sound adorable with your red curls! Pam_H, thank you, thank you. With the exception of our 2 year RV stay, I've slept on a waterbed since 1990. They are getting harder to find. You can bet once we settle again, I will be leaving no stone unturned for another one. I love them! LaurieJo, good to see you. It has been pretty chatty lately. Isn't it great? Xylie, I so agree with you. Losing weight is easy in comparison to keeping it off. I have lost weight dozens of times - if I had KEPT it off, I wouldn't have to keep going around this mountain. This time WILL BE DIFFERENT! |
duh-ble post!
so sorry |
