Janice, I sent you an email about losing my receipt from the post office so I do not have the tracking number. I mailed yesterday and somehow lost the receipt when I went to the grocery store. I am praying that it doesn't get lost. I am so upset! :(

Susisews I live in Lincoln.

Life is never dull, quiet (like now) and peaceful, (always) and free to quilt when ever I want to (heaven)!

This is is my fabric for the Night Owl’s. A very not me fabric. I love bright and bold fabrics but branching out and trying some pastels. I have been quilting about 23 years now, love piecing the blocks but not so great on putting them together. I am married to my second dh and along with our old dog Rio we live in Minneapolis Minnesota. Have 4 adult children and 5 treasured grand’s. Sadly only one of my kids even live in the state anymore. Spend my summers in a destination camper at the lake so little sewing then but make up for it in the winter. Gorgeous fabric, Terri! Good for you. What are you going to want with this one? |
Suzisew: I started sewing on my first treadle when I was nine. My dad bought it for $3.00 at an auction. He tuned it up and handed it over to my 2 youngest sisters and I. I still remember the first skirt I made on it. The fabric was a hot pink cotton that was $.35 a yard at the 5 and dime in our little town. Within a couple months I put the sewing machine needle through my right forefinger. Dad pulled it out with a pair of pliers. That taught me to be more careful and to slow down when sewing. I just loved those day.

SusiSews, how darn lucky to live by Shipsewana. I was there last year for a retreat. Think we have been to Shipsey 4 times. They have the best peach pie in the whole world. Does that mean you eat noodles with almost every meal?
I have requested to keep the block looking pastel so no brown that is in the tree trunks, minimal white for the background if you need it. Other then that choose any of the colors in the fabric except the green, that will be my lattice Julia great looking blocks, you are off to a good start |
Afternoon, Night Owls. Love reading your bios. Thank you for sharing. I'm not in the group but I'll share a bio: married eons, 2 adult sons, one engaged just a short time ago and a baby on the way, (yay!), 2 dogs, (a pitbull and a mix), one cat I inherited from my mother. DH will prob retire next year but maybe hold off a bit longer bc he's having fun. Started quilting about 2000 give or take. Before that was XS but my old eyes conspire against me so the detailed work I used to do is almost impossible. I took up the Booms in 2013, starting with #11. I've tried to let them go a couple of times but I'm addicted to putting people together in a swap. I'm detail oriented (you've all seen that email, right?), and am very happy you all are here for Boom 23. :)
Reminder: still need email response from marija, lstew2212 and smglover207. Thanks! Also: Klaws, the tracking number is in an email to you. It popped up online for me a little while ago. :) |
Janice you are on top of things. I'm so glad we have you to keep track of all of us.

I had to look up those dolls, and must say I agree w/ your kids. (well maybe not scary, but unnerving for sure)

I have a bad back with a host of other issues so don’t work and use an accuquilt to help with the cutting part of quilting as it can get pretty painful. We tease my husband about being a closet quilter because he gets roped into helping me with cutting a lot too. As a matter of fact, he cut the fat 1/8ths for this boom!
I have just one one of our four boys still living at home. He’s here with hubby, myself, and our little bichon dog, Ellie. Ive recently discovered doll collecting and have acquired a few blythe dolls, which my kids tell me are scary. (They have big eyes and heads and their eyes change) |
I think I remember this fabric, didn't someone think about sending it a few booms back?
