Thanks! :)

The silhouette fabric (Michael Miller) came from fabric.com. I got a small piece of it in a remnant pack a couple of weeks ago. Here's a link to it, on their website:

Well I didn't let him keep the boomerangs home, I went to another post office and they only charged me $.61 so off they went. I received OkDarlas squishie yesterday and today I got squishes from MegsAnn, montanblu, bibliostone, and KarenBarnes. I am so excited I could just jump and down, oh wait I did!! All the squishes are in a basket on my sewing table and they are just chatting away, I think they are enjoying the nice breeezy weather we are having in this part of Michigan and enjoying the fact that we can have the windows open and let the fresh air in and not have the air conditioning on. I'm going to let them play till this week-end when the DH will be gone and I won't have any interruptions at all. I am getting so many ideas from them that I just know that I am going to have a hard time deciding with them what to be. I love the blocks that reneebobby got from moonrise and moonrise I love those blenders that you got, they are beautiful. I am really so glad I decided to participate in this I am having the best time!!

Just wait till you get a whole table full! They get really rowdy then! They chatter and giggle and (if you're not careful to separate them) they sneak into each other's envelopes! They sometimes try to disguise themselves too! and they multiply in the dark!

Let the good times roll! :lol:

I will be sure to keep an eye on them, sneaking into each others envelope, I will have none of that when the lights are off! Multiply? I don't know about that either but I will watch them close, they are getting louder and louder, should I be keeping any eye on the wine bottles too?

Just wanted to let 'leakus' know that I received her pretty purple piece of fabric today...she mailed it to me in California. I have received a few other pieces of fabric at my house in Alabama but my DH has yet to email me the names of the people who have sent. As soon as he does I'll be sure to acknowledge receipt of same. Hope to get "leakus'" block done sometime this week or weekend, once I decide on a block and the color(s) to go with.

Sometimes if I'm not too sure if there is enough fabric I draw the pieces I need in pencil on the back of the fabric and believe me it has saved me a lot of heartache quite a few times!!!!

Uh-oh....

I was just going through patterns at The Quilters Cache and found about 40 paper piecing ones for 12 inch blocks that I'd like to try. I'm thinking maybe each of you will get a different pattern so I can try a lot of them out.

Maybe this is too ambitious?

To keep mine from jumping into else someone elses bag, I put them, envelope and all into a large zipploc bag and seal them tight until the are mailed back. That keeps them from getting mixed up :)
