Halfway through the book already. I find it very entertaining to see my donut next to my sewing machine. Looks like a snack waiting for me. And when you shove pins in it they look like sprinkles. hehe. It's endlessly amusing. To me anyways.
I haven't finished an actual quilt yet. I've only been really sewing for like 3 months.. well I guess I did a couple baby ones and I'm still slowly working on a top I'm going to donate but I have to find some more red tones that I like to finish another row. It's a four patch on point pattern and I hate the outside triangles on the block. Haven't yet found a good trick to line them up so they meet evenly at the top. I've been busy making a ton of baby stuff for all my friends' babies getting ready to pop out. After that I'll work on quilts for real. And hopefully never mention that I've ever made baby stuff ever again so I won't have to ever make any of it ever again.. hah. So I've never done any quilting, just tie-knotting so far. My mom has always hand quilted so it's what I know and have equipment for at the moment but I like to keep my fingers intact. Saw the video about the aunt becky and was like.. omg I have to have it. Can you tell I'm susceptible to infomercials? I have to find something else to do during commercials or I'll become a hoarder.
Also.. anyone that wants to.. I LOVE berries.. all kinds of berries.. you can unload them on me and if you want to make them into jam first, I'll take that too.

I don't know how taking photos really solves the problem...I notice that many a time, you receive a PM that your package was received but they don't acknowledge it here on the thread. I think that's pretty sad....after sending a package and not even letting the rest of the players know that you received yours. Kinda makes you (the sender) feel like others are wondering if you sent anything at all, huh???
Even a Private Message would be nice from the person... but not so far... this month...

not sending pm's is another thing. that is a problem that lori can do something about by not letting the offenders play again.

Just like Ladybug said...once you know that there has been enough time for your pal to receive and to have thanked you and there is still nothing posted....THEN post yourself...we all know that half the fun of this is seeing what is received and getting new ideas and seeing things that might not be in our areas.

WhooHoo....look what I had waiting for me today when I returned from Florida.....Thank you Stephanie (not for sure what your screen name is). I got lots of homemade goodies....love them....the cutest scottie dog (my real one is Lily), several bags (for shoes and such), a sewing machine cover with a thread catcher and pin cushion to match. Love Kaffe Fasset and got 2 nice pieces of his design fabric, sissors lock (LOVE this....no one will now use my sissors for anything but material!!), a needle case with needles, embroidery thread, note pad and a necklace. It is a great package with all the things I love. Thank you Stephanie!! Can't get my pic to load ;o( must be doing something wrong.....
Enjoy!

Wow had a lot of catching up to do. Let me say that there are so many wonderful packages coming in! Awesome! I know my SP received hers and I haven't received a pm at all. It is annoying though when you put your package with effort and not get a simple thank you. But oh well I love these swaps and the friends I've made here!
