'Brat/Linda...I thought you were off to clinic today?? Hoping the fact you are here means it was not a bad day. Here is the trouble you got me into with that sale site just over 30 yards for $81 (including two yards of 108" quilt backing at $6/yd) plus $15 shipping. Delivery guy told DH "don't know what it is but it sure is heavy." DH is being very patient as that was third package arriving for me today...best stay away from sale fabric!

oh face it girl you LOVE them all

that turkey fabric is MY turkey fabric. I have this stupid thing with turkeys I used to feed them every day in CA and I have for years collected these ceramic planters (fifties sixties stuff) you know the old ftd flower vase things and well the turkeys are my absolute favorites lol. So when I saw that fabric I had to have it.

Clinic is for dialysis its three days a week four hours a shot. this week its four days. oh so much fun. lucky thing about it is: one they invented it or I wouldn't be here. Two its not very painful a couple quick pokes with a big needle and you just sit there and either nap or watch tv. I can't nap.. my blood pressure is low to begin with napping puts me in seriously low blood pressure (60's) and well they get all cranky when that happens. See I run about 90/50 normally so its a fine line from ok low to uh oh. Other than that.. its not a hard thing. You just end up tired. There the lesson on clinic for the day.

I am leaning towards the colors that are in that bright batik that was posted (its on the lefts side) that vibrant green and red and gold.. yup those are saying make me make me! I have a grand collection of oranges and yellows to pick from in batiks. I am however not terrifically into the black with it yes its striking but it goes with nothing in my home so I will make sure my partner would like or not like that in theirs. phew.

Wow! So many beautiful choices in that first link!!! I may need to save that search! I saw a couple that look like I could make them!!!

We have wild turkeys roaming our neck of the woods here in Florida...don't feed them but always enjoy seeing them. We see the toms during mating season (and occasionally get treated to them strutting full plumage) but usually what we have walk though the yard are the hens. High count for one time in the yard--27 hens. (You may be surprised we have turkeys here...we also have black bear, which most people don't realize. We see bear fairly regularly, even have one large male that roams our neighborhood as his home turf. He doesn't bother us or we him, but we put out the trash just before pickup.)

Not sure how I'll use the turkeys in a runner. Also got an F4 (my monthly free one from LQS) that might be the basis for my tabletopper. Or maybe I'll make two!

It's FRIDAY!!! This has been a very busy week :/ I'm hoping to have all of my work done early today and then make a run to a couple of LQS to find fabric for this swap as well as the FQ swap. I also need to find border fabric for a couple. The hunt is on Hope I'm lucky and find what I want....we are having a UFO party at the Rec. center tomorrow evening and I hope to get started/finished with a few things! Can't wait til I get my partners name "Chomping at the bit" to get started.

Have a GREAT wknd everyone!

tlambing - I loved your paper pieced blocks - the colors are spectacular. It's actually very similar to what I was going for on the table topper I did for the previous swap. I have had many compliments on the red white & blue that I received from you - you do such beautiful work. Good luck with completing a few of your UFO's.
