    You might look at the Fat Quarter Shop website. Another great one is The Quilting Hen website; that one is actually local to me but they have an awesome site with a huge variety.

    Like I said before, working on a customer's custom baby quilt, it's drawn out and on paper, cut tomorrow and start sewing, Sunday hopefully on the quilting table and quilted, then 2-3 nights hand binding and in the mail by Thursday or Friday. Whew 1 week to spare, anyway that's the plan, but it better be close.
    savannarandon got your F8 for the rubies group today in the mail, no problem I'll make another one, oh and if you like what I sent before no problem keep it use it....I have pretty much always made 2 blocks for everyone but this time is a little different, signed up for 2 groups, what the h___ was I thinking???? Must have had a very dense day but it's still fun, just drives me crazy that I have a stack of envelopes from [ATTACH=CONFIG]359383[/ATTACH]hell and back starring at me. Roseysue I did not have your space number but have added it to my list. Thanks for the heads up./
    Twinriverfarms you are absolutely toooooo funny!! Your stash was perfect!!! Hubby standing here when I opened it and said what's for dinner? I was looking and trying to think of a quick 1 pot dinner, hardly no mesh and easy clean-up. Stash was perfect, I love it and thank you so much!!

    I have not send any home yet as I have had no time yet. I also still need to take pictures. I did want you to know something is happening and blocks are being made at the rate of 1 to 3 a day on average. I am having a lot of fun and will post when I got pictures up and when I will do a mass shipment of grown up blocks.

    There are a couple of F8 missing and there are several people who still need my F8. They all went out some time ago but I will give the mail some time.

    Thank you for posting urgodschild. I apparently did not post I got your F8 but as you can see I already made the grown up block.

    grr just wrote a post, added pics then it says message to short please something 10 characters,lol Me not use enough characters? it did not say that/ yes yes it did. Did it post my message hell no. So short of it is love the blocks I am receiving, all the pics are now in my album. With luck I can now add some here if I write something book like and also before i go get lost in post it land there was a question on what white fabric do you use?

    I like Moda white on whites, white of course and also Robert Kaufmans whites they are true white and well both are good moderately not over priced whites. Jo Anns has sewing fabric and it is not quilting fabric.Its better grade than walmarts but its not quilting grade fabric either. Not everyone can afford high end quilt store fabric which is understandable. White however tends not to be pricey at all and high end fabric in white can still be bought at like 5-6 a yard if its solid. So invest a tiny bit more especially as you noticed in stuff where it is really going to stand out.. just a theory. I cant always use it either but its a good theory

    post it time
