Thanks for posting all your neat angel gifts, I just love seeing all the fun stuff everyone is getting.

Looky Looky... was so happy yesterday to find this in my mailbox. My quilt block for March "so cute". Some wonderful cookbooks... going to the store today to get the stuff to make something out of it. A spring dish towel so cute. I'm cutting it in half and crocheting on the ends to make two hand towels to hand on my fridge and stove. Also I'm including a picture of the cute outfit she sent for my new grandson. If he doesn't come today they are starting her tomorrow HAPPY DAY!

What beautiful material and the book looks so interesting too.

sugarpumpkin;
It looks to me like it is , two Flying geese and a triangle , with straight pieces on it, I could make a pattern for you if I knew the size of the finished block and the size of the outer borders. Let me know.

I would absolutely love to have that Shamrock pattern, too!! If someone knows of it, please share with the rest of us. It is so cute!! :D Our family has so many special events, in the month of March, that it would be nice to have a good (or should I say easy?) pattern like this one!! :D
Thank You in advance!!
:D :D :D :D

Everyone's S.Q.A. gifts are wonderful. I need to get mine out too, so my Angelee doesn't think I forgot her!! :D

love the block, and the seeds, every one is getting such nice things. I love to look at the pictures, I have my camera now so if I get anything from now on I can put the pictures in to show too.

That shamrock block is soo pretty! I love it!

Great gifts all of you. Our angels are sure creative!

Good News Everyone!! :thumbup:

Some S.Q.A. (I don't know who she is) :D, sent me links for the St. Patrick's Day quilt block, that karielt received. Her quilt block is pictured on page 99, of this thread. I remember that a few other quilter's were asking for this pattern. So, here goes.

The block in the photo was drawn from:

:D :D :D :D

thanks for the links those are all awesome!! can't wait to make a few for myself!!

SulaBug, thank you for sharing! The St Patrick Day blocks are darling! :thumbup: That's what I really love about this board, people are always willing to share and help one another!! ;-)

Thanks Sulabug!
I am going to get started on my quilt this weekend! Yay! I am so glad I found a pattern I like for my green quilt!

I started a thread about this however I thought I would also post it here. March is national quilting month and March 20 is national quilting day. Since we seem to all send for holidays this SHOULD be a good one to remember your Angelee and send a pressie. :-D :-D :-D

Thanks sulabug!!

Wouldn't this block be fun to make using the quilt as you go method??

Thanks Sulabug. Your the best and so is the SQA who provided this.
I'm home from school (teacher is stuck in Memphis, can't get a connecting flight from Atlanta home due to weather), so I think I will work on one of these today. Homework can wait-right?

Thanks Cheryl, that is so sweet of you to get all those addresses for us!

Jan,
You are so Welcome!! :D I am just glad that (:D the someone who I don't know :D) contacted me & asked me to list them for her!! :D :D :D

I got a nice surprise in the mail today from my SQA.
A pretty quilt pattern called "Dreams of Sedona" and
a packet of paper piecing patterns called "smokey Mountains". It was sent to me from Ellens Quilt Creations
with a note saying "Welcome to March. Everyone should visit
Sedona once, even if only in a quilt. From you SQA".
The Sedona pattern gives me ideas too. I think the center
section would make a really unique table runner.
I've got a middle ear thing going on right now and I'm
dizzy all the time. Doc says it just has to run its course
as it can't be cured, but am on medication for the dizziness
and nausea. I'm thankful for the medication, it really helps, but it also keeps me housebound. Hubby says he'll
take me to my favorite fabric shop when I can walk a
straight line. LOL. Anyway, thanks so much to my SQA and
I'm going shopping as soon as I'm able.

If that's not an incentive to feel better fast, I don't know what is! Take care - be well and do it quickly! :-D

Catlady,

Your comment about "walking a straight line" made me giggle: when I had something like that, my husband once told me that I should have a good, stiff drink ... said it would make me walk straighter! Something about cancelling out each other.....

what a guy, right?

Nice SQA gifts, all!

Did they give you a name for the ear problem??????????? I am only wondering because I suffer from disabling vertigo ALL the time and it has lasted for years. I have been to doc all over the counrty and I am the worst case they have ever seen. PM me if you want to talk and get support from someone who has been there and is still there.
I KNOW HOW SICK YOU FEEL
{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}

Vertigo is the pits! I have it too.

So I am not alone. Are you able to go out?? or drive?? do you fall down? how long have you had it? Just wondering.

Gosh, I've had it several years. Yes I can drive, and yes sometimes I stumble but don't fall. I can be watching TV and all of the sudden the room will spin and I'm not even moving! I don't drink or do drugs (except for perscribed) either!

I get dizzy all the time when walking. I can't look at certain fabrics because they won't stay still. :lol:

has your hearing been affected? I can't drive, I have had it for 22 years. It was 1st the right ear that caused the vertigo and I was bedridden for 18 months crawling to the bathroom then it got a little better for a few years then it returned for about 2 years and once again got better but 5 years ago my left year was affected and I haven't been able to leave the house since then. I am always dizzy but then have BAD attacks of vertigo. Your balance is your ears then your eyes and then the soles of your feet. if something vibrates under my feet I loose muscle control and go right down. I have NO balance system at all. I was in a wheelchair for awhile and the doc never thought I would get out of it by balance is soooooooooo bad. I had surgery but it didn't help. I too don't drink or do drugs I am not on any meds because nothing helped the vertigo. I have where the room spins or things look wavey, but more often it is the inside of my head that whips around and around sometimes everything is white if I open my eyes. There is no cure for me, I would like to go out or drive but it is impossible I get really depressed. I couldn't even go to the hospital when DD was in ICU that says how bad I am. Funny I can't look at certain fabrics too. Pin dots is one it make me feel like I am falling over to look at it. But life goes on I do the best I can.

deleted....... the above got printed twice

OMG true, I am so sorry. Mine isn't that bad.

I always thought it had to do with my eyes, not my ears. Hummm.

Stripes (tiny ones) and tiny dots make my head spin. So does bargellos. Whoa, I can look at one and I almost fall over, even when I am sitting!
