bebe, just wanted to let you know I will be gone for the next nine days or so. I didn't want you to think I dropped out. I am finishing up the quilt for my family reunion & will start on my blocks when I return.
I added borders & photos of my grandmother & grandfather to a quilt top my grandmother pieced before she died (not that she pieced any after death of course!) and quilted it. We are going to raffle it off at the family reunion. Everyone is going to sign the border. I think it would be a nice quilt to have.
I have several tops she pieced & now I'm inspired to get them quilted.
The list never ends!
Have a great Labor Day everyone & I will talk to you when I get home.

Sorry everyone. The "deadline" I meant was the monthly deadline for our two blocks per month. I've got three done and will have the fourth done before 9/15.
I can only sew on Saturdays. My time is really limited. Much as I wish I could say it, I am not able to "whip out" blocks no matter how simple they are. I am slow. I take my time. And if I get it right the first time, great. But, if it doesn't turn out right, that sends me in a bit of a quandary because I don't know what I did wrong and have to figure out how to fix it. But, my mom's always helping me.
Mom's got some really cool autumn fabs that I'd like to use. Fortunately, she's always got scraps of them and I can use the scraps!
But, I'm sorry I'm not able to keep up at the pace most of the others are at. That's discouraging for most people because it seems like you're almost done and I'm holding everything up. But, I'm following the guidelines and doing my two a month.
I hope to have a picture to post for tomorrow!
