That looks like a lot of fun and a lot of work! I bet though you are glad it is over for now. I hope they raised a lot of money.

I've been stalled . . . I have half of my tiny little 7" blocks finished. I need about 25 more. Spent the last month trying to get the darn quilting machine to work. Every time I adjust something, another thing screws up. This is a singer for goodness sake. I take singers apart and put them back together as a hobby. It should be a simple thing to fix. I give up. I'm calling a repair man. :-(

Ok...so update on my life...lil miss Rusha was diagnosised with pancreatitis a week or so ago. She stayed at the vet. Brought her home last Monday. Friday she stopped eating. Took her this morning for an ultrasound. Got the call from the vet...it isn't good. She has a huge mass in her liver and her skin is turning yellow. I will be with her tonight at 6 when they put her to sleep. Please send good fur baby thoughts for her through this. Quilty hugs!

My thoughts and hugs go out to you and Rusha.

Me also Yosamitesa, I've been in your position with 2 dogs and it is so hard. I truly know where you are at and I'm sure there are others on here also. Sending peaceful thoughts your way.

Thank you. It was a rough night. My lil man doesn't understand why Rusha isn't home and why she isn't coming home. Told him she was in heaven with Granddaddy. He told me NO! Go to the vet and bring her home. My heart hurts. It isn't broken because I know she is in a much better, easier, painfree place. Just sad. Sitting at work going through the motions...that being said...

I have 13 folks who did not check in by the 15th!!!

If you have not sent me a status update I need to hear from you ASAP!!! This is a requirement for the swap.

By the 15th of each month, each person sends me a PM letting me know how far along they are with their quilt for their partner. I suggest that you put a reminder in your calendar with the following text in it, which is what I need to hear from you:

o 100% complete and ready to be shipped!
o 90%: need to finish quilting and binding, then she’s ready for lift-off!
o 75%: sandwiched and about to quilt
o 50%: nearing completion of the top; about to sandwich
o 25%: fabric cut and piecing in progress
o 5-10%: know the design; have most of the fabric; dragging my feet getting started, but I WILL complete and be ready to ship THIS QUILT BY August 1, 2014!

Sorry about Rusha. It always hurts to lose a pet even when you know the decision was the right one.

Just waiting for this cold snap to go then digging out the paints! I need some skies, mountains, plowed farmland and lots of other fun stuff. Some for this challenge and some for fun as I am getting very low. Come on spring!!

I've been busy on many projects the past few weeks and have today to finally lay out my rows and put the top together and send it out to have it quilted - jaba hope this will be okay for you - it's the growth of a quilt. I chose the Lucky Star pattern because I felt that it must be a lucky star that keeps pairing jaba and I up on swaps - I feel blessed with my on line quilty friends.

The first photo is the initial fabric selections.
The second photo shows the star pairings.
The third is a pile of 30 star blocks.
The fourth is a sample what they look like when they are nestled next to one another - only a teaser for I want the final quilt to be a surprise when she gets it.
