Joan, come here when the real world gets to be too much. That's what I do. It's one of my happy places, an escape avenue from real life. I like that we are focused on fun, and quilting, and personal stories and camaraderie. I like that our biggest problems here are how we make that blasted piece of fabric measure up to 12 1/2 inches so we don't have to hear from Janice about it again 
and is this piece of fabric white or snow? Or this one teal or aqua? Shall I join one group or two? And I like to wonder, just how is it that an ugly grey fabric can turn it into a beautiful block? And how do all those little hexies go together? And should I join the postcard swap? And then my bad thoughts are as simple as And what am I going to do with all those Boom blocks I have? Am I a Boom'aholic? These are the tough things we have to deal with here. I like it better than out there by far.

(I love that chicken) thank you, Janice for being willing to give of your time & maybe a bit of sanity for our well-being. I maybe the newbie, but I know a good thing when I see it. Nope, a great thing!

I've been working on a mini for the July swap, the theme is kalideoscope. I have finished the design and assembly, and am thrilled w/ the look, but now I have to quilt it, quilting is not my thing, I always think it ruins my piece. Oh and mine is a modern kalideoscope.
Janice couldn't agree more.
GramE, those feathered chickens may laugh at the nakeds, but they are getting the last laugh in this 100 summer.lol

I cant wait to get off work tonight...its my late night so will be 6 or so before I leave but its Friday...I can sew as long as I want..trying not to think about the world problems! God must have had me in mind having to work late...that way I cant watch the 5:30 news to see all the problems! LOL...Also got a tracking notice my 2 bolts of fabric are waiting for me on my front porch so that will be a wonderful thing to look forward to! I laughed at the chicken comments....I never thought about them needing sun screen LOL

I got some Cornish cross ladies (well girls they are growing into ladies) they will grow to be very big girls. I got them to cross w/ my naked boy to increase the size of his line. They aren't laying age, but when (if, they are hard to get to live to laying age) I plan on mating them w/ my naked boy. I may have to resort to AI (artificial insemination) depending on if he can balance that "high up". Anyway I was thinking I should get that "I like Big Butt" song and play it for him when that time comes.

Oops...I may have misunderstood. I thought QM would be sending civil war reproductions, not asking for them. If not providing them, it might be much tougher for everyone to come up with fabrics you'll ultimately be satisfied with QM. Just a thought. I do like AnnaQuilts suggestion to send the reproductions.

Kaass I am rolling over the floor. AI on chickens. My 19 yr old DD is learning to do AI on cows etc.
