Now that all my orders for others are done, I can actually get blocks done and mailed. I have one for moonrise done but haven't been to town to mail yet. Hope to get some done this week and actually mailed.

Kwiltcrazy!!!
I have a serious problem with your grown up. I thought it was going to be a well behaved when I decided to Broderie Perse her but guess what? She was missing for almost a week! Since she has been hand saw, she was coming with to when ever I am going, somehow she managed to disappear! Just today when I torn appart the family room, there she was hidden under a pillow.
I'll try to keep an close eye on her and send her home next week! you talk to her when she arrives!

It isn't perfect by any means but I am so proud of it, and it is nothing like the pattern so I guess they will have a very unique wedding quilt.

Children are a challenge, but well worth the effort. Mine are both on their own, but I can't stop mothering them. They pretend to listen to us, then do what they want. Those apron strings are very strong, and don't break. Just gotta love them and do your best. It's amazing how good they turn out, even with all the mistakes.
It must be hard to give up the foster kittens, I don't know if I could do it, we took care of my oldest son's cat, Stash, for three weeks, when he went to Ohio to move his girlfriend out here to Oregon, and he became my kitty, But when my son came back he took him back, now when I go to visit, he comes running and starts talking like crazy, and won't let me alone, talking all the time, it's funny, because I'm the only one he talks to like this. We use to have wonderful morning conversations while I combed him in the mornings, and at night before we went to bed(not him, he's more of a night owl that me). So I have to go visit him all the time.

I only foster adult cats. They would be hard to part with except that the organization I volunteer with is wonderful and always finds great homes for the cats so that makes it so much easier. Also, I am really allergic so I am happy when they go and I can breathe again. But, I keep taking in more...silly me!
AND...my horse is gaining weight!!!!!! It must have just been his teeth.
I am loving all the blocks, it is so fun to see them all together. I am already thinking about my fabric for Boom 4.0

Barbsbus, your block is my creation,
Fryguymore, yours is the "Angel's Trumpet" a Hawaiian pattern from Quilts Hawaii
Hope you like it. I am sending them tomorrow.

Jlin thank you for sending my heart back, received it this morning. The back of my quilt is going to be beautiful. Will post a picture of the hearts that I have received so far, in a little while.

Mary Jane,
glad to hear you're feeling better and are getting back in the groove. I'm happy you were able to shut that fabric up long enough to make it into a pretty for my quilt; I'll have a stern discussion with it when it arrives. [didn't I tell you these fabrics I picked this time were just like my youngest child? nothin' but a bunch of whiners!)
and whomever's mom is staying with her (is that you, fryguymoore?), please ship her to my house when you're through with her. I need some serious butt-kickin' to get my life in order and she sounds as if she would fit the bill. Or maybe you can just send her to shape up my 18-year-old who's dancing on my last nerve this week (and it's only Monday)...........
