Im a happy camper! Went and picked up my sewing machine from the repair guy...I have to admit I was very embarrassed...he showed me what caused the problem...a bag full of lint and dust and broken threads! I told him I cleaned the top part regularly and he asked about the bottom...heck I didn't even know you could get into the bottom of the machine... He put a new feed dog on it and said it might be noiser but when I tried it the sound was so much smoother than it was before!! I cant wait to get to sewing again but tonight and all day tomorrow my granddaughter and 3 ggrandkids are here.. I can wait another couple days...I can...I really can....but I keep staring at the machine... LOL

I finished four more blocks and wanted to share them with you!

Just a quick fyi for everyone in this group who has not yet sent your blocks to me: PLEASE make sure that each and every block is CLEARLY labeled with the owner's name AND the maker's name. Please don't tuck the info inside the block but rather put it in the plastic bag, facing the outside. IT MUST BE VISIBLE TO ME. Now's a good time to go back and look at the blocks you've already made and make sure you've actually put your name and the owner's name in the packet.
Thanks!

Janice sorry, I know I put my address label on the inside of the block. Will make sure these are visible on the outside. Terriamn

My label is on the inside too, thought it would be less confusing to only have the owner's name on the outside.

Another color added to the mix. I can't wait to get these back!

I "was" diligently working on the blocks and have a few more completed but keep forgetting to bring my camera into work. The pics are easier to size down with the software I have here.

Then I came to a screeching halt on Friday. Went to the Doc and am now on Antibiotics and pain meds (good pain meds). Since I had Friday off, I attempted another block . . . a simple one. Fortunately I screwed up my fabric part of the block. Decided to put everything away and continue another day.

Hey, KAT, am sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. hope the antibiotics work well, and soon!

Just a little fyi that might work for you. I can quickly downsize my pix by emailing them to myself. It works on my iPhone and also on my laptop where I use Outlook. Both give you the option of keeping the original size or shrinking a lot, or a little. I send them off, when they come back in, I just re-save them. Easy, peasy, as a friend always says. hope that helps someone.
