Ok. I got a box full of squishes. I got Immemother, Jacquie, Lovingizabella, and Buddy's Mom.

It was pouring rain at lunch so I did not get the the post office with my Fat 8s but they will get there tomorrow.

I am up stairs having fun...

sorry you don't have any squishies yet...hoping they get there soon. I have the bestest matches for your fabric...it was sooo dang cool when I opened yours and walked right to my stash and pulled out a jelly roll that looks like it could have been made just for you.

BTW, I love your kitty on a leash. My cats have always acted like a leash/harness weighed 10 tons when you put them on...they lower their stomachs to the ground or flop like a hooked fish. Yours appears to be quite pleased with his surroundings.

I love your dad and his quilting help. Bless him. I would like to borrow him. He can have the spare room as long as he likes.. I love to cook (bribery here just tell me what he likes its his)..

Anastasia WOWSA only since May? you are one heck of a smart cookie my dear. I think its amazing. I imagine your a go getter in all that you do and that you do it well too. Hats off to you kiddo. Even if your a miser with your cake.

I received an envelope from Buddys mom and from Scottland today. yippee hip hip horay and all that stuff. Oh one from the last name Straley not sure if that is this group or Diamonds so I am posting in both. ok thats this post.

Ok confessions post. I had a very bad sewing day yesterday, the kind that one gets tears over. I worked hard cut things correctly (this is hard work guys really it is) and sewed dilegently. Scant 1/4 inch. Finished it. Looked ok measured perfectly. Took photo looked at photo. ITS NOT GOT THE POINTS IT NEEDS. I look hard and look hard and know if I take in those seams to 1/4 inch I will have points. I take the whole thing apart. Restitch and sure enough the block is golden. Golden 12". So what to do here: do I A) add a stupid bony edge strip to the sides and be happy (not going to be happy) B) do I buy more of that fabric as it was not a piece that can be reused much at all and start from scratch. I am not going to not have a good block. Trouble is I have only four 4" pieces left otherwise to work with and that is totally lame unless I buy more fabric. What would you do? super sad. whole thing is super sad.

well I totally butchered Nexxus's black so I have to get more.. I tried ripping it apart and putting it back together but that didn't work and I also don't like to add little borders but I had to with my boat one because well.. I cut improperly and there wasn't any spare to fix.. so it has a couple of those annoying little seams. Since you can find the fabric that you need... in my shoes, because i'm a perfectionist, I would get more.. If you couldn't, I'd say go with the tiny border.

So I completed about 1/2 of Moonwork's block. First time I ever did this type of thing. I did part of it by hand and part of it by machine because I got tired of doing it by hand, and well there's a tiny little.. not quite a pucker, not quite a fold, not sure what to call it.. when I got to the last bit.. I'm gonna leave it there. It's gonna be the add the character flaw haha. Freaking ladybugs everywhere I tell ya... taking over the place.

He does love it, in fact he often demands it. it did take me a little while to train him on it, but now when i pick up the lead he leans against the door and over the harness goes, he thinks he's a dog! he loves when i garden because on goes his lead and he gets to roll around in the soil, not the best thing for a white cat, but it makes him so happy.
