Hooray for Bertie indeed. Love someone who keeps trying and doesn't throw up their hands in defeat after the first try. Or is that why I have so many UFOs 
BuzzinBumble, your little quilt looks so amazing hanging in your kitchen. Krystyna must have had a sneak peak because it matches your curtains perfectly.

I am sorry to say that being accused of not sending my partner her DQ in May has made me angry and since I have not received any PM regarding not sending. I do not believe I have the desire to be a part of this group any longer. I will send the June DQ that is ready to be mailed to Grandma Di.
I have enjoyed being here until I see these post. As everyone can see who each others partners are, not one person either the hostess nor the person who said she didn't get her May DQ, which she post in the May thread post #798.
Enjoy your future DQ swaps.

Yes. And I am making one for you! It will be a crazy quilt but I am going to cheat and use my embroidery machine to piece it -- otherwise you wouldn't get it until NEXT May!
Speaking of embroidery machines, I never wanted one. Didn't see the use of them. Then my husband and I stopped by a machine shop on a whim to look at sewing machines. By that time my business was well under way and I was still using a Singer that I bought in Kohl's department store for $79! He ended up buying me a Babylock Sofia 2 and once I started using it for embroidery, I never used it again as a sewing machine! Nonetheless, there is nothing like relaxing with handwork in the evening. I was never one who could just sit and watch TV with my husband without doing something else. I loved piecing hexes. I know many don't like Y seams, but they were heavenly to me!

We're going to have to make a list of Oompa Loompa words for August. Luckily most folks (up over, not down under) go on vacation in August so maybe we won't draw too much notice!
