OMG...I LOVE her!!! I can't help but giggle...like she's sitting in a epsom salt bath soaking her egg maker!
I wish I could applique....yours are awesome!!
Journaling...well you can do it a variety of ways. The one that I thought would be least inexpensive, is basically just using your computer to make journal entries like in word and cut/pasting pics you took into the file as you go and then just email the electronic journal to the owner so they can develop something they would like as the final product, like you're getting the book done. Something like that, but I'm game for whatever everyone wants. Mine will just have to be typed as I have a very hard time writing with the RA & disc nerve damage.

I guess patience is a virtue...I almost scrapped the whole thing and started over with a new theme!

I machine applique...only starting doing that in the Funky Chicken Swap last year. You can do it too. It really isn't hard after you practice a bit.

Hello Sweet Sixteeners:
Just passing by to say hi.
Karen: I love your block #2.
I'm embroidering my blocks. So the embroidery part will be done next week. I then will start with the piecing part.
Will post some pictures next week.
Hugs,

Sorry I haven't been around guys. I would love to say that I've been slaving over my blocks, but unfortunately that wasn't it either. The vacation I had planned which was to stay home & do nothing but sew & organize my sewing room didn't happen because of some drama with new systems at work going in the last week of the month. Basically, I had to go in and do what I would normally do the last week, two weeks early. Oh well, I can deal with that. THAT wouldn't have been so bad.
But then Wed night the bf started not feeling well. 102 fever by 2am. So he slept all day Thurs while I worked, I got home and he was still running fever even with all my home remedies & OTC products. So I take him to the doctor on Fri and I'm starting to feel a lil puny myself...but figured just tired. Doc looks at both of us and says...ya'll have the flu. Made us take tamiflu at the office and get 2 scripts of it. We're only a 2 person household, both of us being sick is NOT fun. So we've been in bed for days straight. Today is the first time I've been up long enough to read/post. And sad to say once I'm done...it's going to be back to bed! I hope this doesn't last for much longer I'm not a sit around/lay around type person and it's driving me nuts, but I can't do anything else *whine*
