I was in a hurry for it.) My Bee Block practically made itself. And the video tutorial was fabulous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv2gKMx9CCM

Now, that being said.... I didn't account for user error. I bought fabric I hated. And, found out it was kinda of thin. Problem 1. Problem 2, same problem as problem 1, only, it was a white print fabric. Then of course, I was using the free pattern "Circle of Geese" from here: http://piecebynumber.com/circleofgeese.htm. Well, half my geese went clockwise and the other half went counter clockwise. :D Yep, I will be re-doing the entire block tomorrow including new fabric. But, the 1/4" PP ruler worked fantastic! I highly recommend it.:)

Sounds like something I'd have done! :D That was just a trial run and doesn't count! :thumbup:

Well I managed to crawl out of the hole long enough to do a tiny bit of shopping today. Picked up some _______, a ________, and some ________ for my SS. Hope she likes. She hasnt posted much here but that also depends on what you call much. As you can see some of us post alot, not mentioning any names.

Well since it seems that Dreamer is the leader in naughty I have to ask, May I please have another day of leave from the hole since my son would like me to join him on his field trip tomorrow and I also need to finish up my shopping for my SS. Please, I promise to be really naughty over the weekend and ill bring back goodies to the hole. LOL

I'm still too chicken to try anything complicated! I could use a good pair of scissors, a seam ripper (or 3-LOL). I haven't tried fmq, but have been interested in starting with a border stencil and see how I can do with that (I just need to follow a pattern or guideline, something about doing it without makes me nervous), marking pens that wash out. I like odd pincushions (homemade too), angels and windchimes. I hope these ideas help (if you get on the board).

My first quilt was a mystery quilt. It was so easy to follow step by step. I'm hooked on mysteries now.

Also when sending international, keep in mind Quarantine regulations. Some countries (like Australia) wont allow seeds etc in, so if you're sending a pin cushion or thread collector stuffed with rice or anything that they cant identify by xray, they wont let it thru. Some foods (like honey)aren't allowed either. Just thought you might like to know.

I learned that the hard way one year, didn't I?:o Boy, Girl, you've jumped right in here to have lots of fun, didn't you? I told you it would be fun...life is just so hectic for me right now that I read & lurk...that takes so much of my time to stay caught up...this is just such a chatty bunch!:D Love it!!! My ss pal has not posted since we got the names:(, so I'm trying to get a couple things made for her that I hope she likes....... Ok, everyone...get over the crud you're NOT passing around...& prayers to the others that need them...............
