The day didn't work out for me, either, but it was great seeing the grandkids (even the dog they brought with them). DDIL brought me a quilt to make a label for and bind for her. LOL Poker Diva, love the wall hanging -- was so surprised to see the stars cut in half, but I really like the effect. Ube Quilting, love your teapots -- they are absolutely adorable. Raggiemom, was the fabric in your sweet treat "Aviary"? Such soft and pretty colors. Kristakz, your shades of blue in your storm at sea is so dramatic -- love it. Meanmom, your bright baby quilt is so cute -- sure you'll get it finished in time. See you all on June 24th -- it's nice to know the date ahead of time. Thanks, Rachel.

I pieced one round of logs and triangles on 64 "Pineapple Blossom" blocks today. Hope to finish the blocks this week after work while I pre-wash some linen to make several gifts over Memorial Day weekend.

Am I the only one who had a serious date with her seam ripper today? I had to totally unquilt one block and it was little overlapping stitches. I tried a different flower pattern in the nine patches. Not! I think the original meander will have to do.

since you shared yours, judy, i'll share mine. i made a small wall hanging for my sister and i had sewn the binding on after straightening the sides, then i noticed it didn't look even so i trimmed all the way around (mind you, i had not done the hand sewing) and turned the edge over to do the sewing on the back. i had cut off all the miters for the corners! so now i have to take the complete binding off (rippit) and make a new one. so no, you are not the only one having an affair with jack the ripper! boooo!! turn the light out ! night!!

Got some of the blocks together - it's just a start but it's great to finally get this project moving beyond the block stage... I plan to add borders with the green leaf fabric & the pink small rose bud fabric in the upper right hand corner of the pic. The recipient loves pink roses!

haha! Maybe I'm the last to bed tonight. Not quite midnight here in CA. I got a patchwork purse pattern cut out, and all the pieces and interfacing cut out. Picked the fabric for my next block trade. A good couple of hours work. Now its off to lala land, until June 24th! Night all!
