I think you only get one new-post notification, until you visit the thread again. Once you visit the thread and catch up, you'll receive another notification when there's a new post. But if you miss seeing one, you don't get any more until you remember to go back in and read the thread yourself.

craft phanatic 08-19-2011 09:31 AM

Whaaaaaat?! They want me to remember stuff?! What do they think I am...organized?! Heheh! Took me four trips thru the first 8 pages of swaps to even find it...and it was on page 5 at the time!

Short an Sweet 08-19-2011 06:36 PM

lol I have them saved under "my pages"

Robbi24 08-22-2011 03:03 AM

I have this thread under my bookmarks,so it is very easy to find. Still late though, two blocks done, one has a little details to go, next one half done and then one more soooooooooooo sorry but will continue to work on it this whole week, plan to ship it Mon. we will see.

Short an Sweet 08-28-2011 12:36 PM

well r the "little behinds" becoming the "big behinds" lol I am hoping to have mine mailed by next weekend I think life is settling down? most of this week has been spent with my granddaughter, she auditioned for American Idol this weekend. She didn't make it, but at 15 I think it was a great accomplishment that she even had the courage to try. LOL very very proud of her and she does have a beautiful voice

Short an Sweet 08-29-2011 01:03 PM

I received "BookLady"'s quilt today, I am going to finish up on Craft's b4 I hang it up, but I did peek and it is beautiful, I have my patterns picked out so maybe I can get this finished on time lol, I will have Craft's row in the mail by Saturday, sorry to be so late.

craft phanatic 08-29-2011 07:19 PM

Well, I finally have all the blocks done. Tomorrow I will sew them together and get them on the quilt. Should be able to mail it Thursday or Friday. Boy am I excited to get this back!

Short an Sweet 08-30-2011 03:29 AM

lol yes I know it's very exciting to know this is the last row to be added

craft phanatic 09-02-2011 11:17 AM

hehehe, well I thought I could send it out until I went to put my row on the quilt and realized that I oriented my blocks wrong....rippit rippit said the little froggie! I fixed it today and will send it out Monday because tomorrow is my nephews wedding.

Short an Sweet 09-02-2011 03:10 PM

nope, you'll send it Tuesday because Monday is a holiday lol

Good thing I think ahead!!!!!! Sooner or later I will get things together......then I'll prob have a breakdown cause my brain isn't used to it!

Short an Sweet 09-02-2011 03:32 PM

I loved the blocks you did

craft phanatic 09-02-2011 04:28 PM

Thanks! I wasn't sure about it at first but I am quite pleased at the outcome.

Short an Sweet 09-12-2011 07:46 AM

awfully quite? I guess that means everyone is busy sewing and and life lol

booklady 09-14-2011 05:39 PM

Why am I so far behind on this one??????? I have it hanging in my studio, the blocks are designed on paper, but I can't seem to find the time to sit and sew. And I can't say I've spent much time on the board either.

The start of this school year has been a major bite in the bu@@! Lay on the extra work but don't give us extra time to do it. Oh well, most will just stay an extra two hours after final bell to get it done. I've just got to quit staying late on my own time.

Sorry just a little mini rant! Thanks for listening. I promise to work on this over the weekend.

Short an Sweet 09-14-2011 06:02 PM

First off, you're entitled to a little rant every now and then and second, I'm just glad I'm not holding you up because I'm behind too, mine has been family issues, but at least the kids get moved this weekend and things should calm down. I have 3 blocks done and will finish the last two and get it in the mail by Friday next week. I promise!!

Oh and I would love the apples and crow pattern. Please!

I'll look for it but it might be awhile. I'm forced to work every other shift this weekend and our house goes up for sale Monday. Needless to say, I won't have much free time for a couple of days. BTW, I love the fall quilt too.

Thats fine, cuz not ready to make it yet, thanks in the advance oh I told the kitty not to eat the crow that ate the apples, lol (can you tell I'm around a child a lot)

Short an Sweet 10-03-2011 06:14 PM

I have sent PM's to Booklady and Craft, apologizing for being horribly late, I will be starting my final row tomorrow and will be working on nothing else until it is mailed, I have the plan and the fabric, How is everyone else doing?

craft phanatic 10-03-2011 07:23 PM

Got your PM Short. Waiting for Robbie's row from Booklady. I sent the one I had out about 3 weeks ago.

Short an Sweet 10-04-2011 02:59 AM

I'm sorta glad I'm not the only one running late, lol, is that selfish of me? I have to say, I love the Blue fabric I picked for yours, I'm going to have to go get some for myself lol

here r some pics of the blocks for Craft, I just need to sew mine to hers and mail it tomorrow

craft phanatic 10-04-2011 05:03 PM

Oh my goodness. It is turning out EXACTLY as I had hoped. It is beautiful!

Short an Sweet 10-04-2011 05:20 PM

I'm so glad you like it

Robbi24 10-04-2011 06:10 PM

Wow, who would have thought the quilts would be turning out so great, love the blues (and not my usual colors). I will post pics of my mom's quilt, also blue, as it is her favorite color. More later. Robbi

Short an Sweet 10-05-2011 01:51 PM

OK Booklady. I finally got Crafts row in the mail, the expected delivery date is Friday, 10-7, Have all the fabrics and patterns laid out for your and one is cut and ready to sew

saritabee 10-05-2011 10:30 PM

All right, got back home and found a box from Robbi waiting for me -- it's the autumn browns top, and it rocks!! :)
Perfect timing on this one, too -- it seems like fall is officially here.
The blue and brown row is looking fabulous as well! :)

Short an Sweet 10-06-2011 03:01 AM

well it sounds like we're all a little behind, should we extend our final ship date? I'm still going to shoot for the original ship date.

saritabee 10-07-2011 11:17 AM

I'm also going to shoot for the original ship date, but I don't know that ship date matters as much for this one, since once we receive the final product we don't need to do anything more with it.

Short an Sweet 10-07-2011 01:05 PM

very true lol

booklady 10-16-2011 09:56 AM

Sorry, sorry, SORRY for being so late with this project. It's just been a very busy and stressful fall. I promise to get this finished and sent out this week. Please don't throw rotten tomatoes at me!

Several busy things have come and gone, and I'm talking with my principal about reducing my stress tomorrow, so that should lighten my shoulders. I'm telling him I'm leaving school at 3:30 (we could leave at 2:55) from now on no matter what. This 5, 5:30 and 6pm departure times were killing me! We start at 7:10am!!!

So my plan is to leave school, do my walking, come home, start dinner and head to the sewing room. I'm gonna make this work (as Tim Gunn would say!).

Short an Sweet 10-16-2011 03:54 PM

Please don't make this a part of your stress, we are most of us behind also, my old boss just called me and needs part time help at the new company she works for, so I am now working 2 days a week also hopefully it will turn to full time lol

So behind also. Robbi
