No, I think what Scarlet actually said was, " I'll think about that
tomorrow". See? the brain was fried. Today it's only toasty. I'm still playing with my graphic and digitizing. Getting closer though.

I think I'll drag the video out and watch it this weekend.
If I can't even remember it has been a long time since I watched it. Guess Rhett didn't give a dam* now that I think on it ; ) Hope the graphics get there.

You are right Diana, when I do squeeze in time to work on the quilts it does
make me happy! I find it very relaxing too! When I decided to take up quilting I told myself that if I ever started to feel too pressured (by myself) to get things done on a certain deadline and it started to feel more like a "have to do" than a "want to do" that I would stop quilting. I tend to be bad about pushing myself to get a lot of things done and all that does is stress me out. I took this up because I love it and I want to continue to love it so I will not pressure myself! Therefore even though I hope to be making these quilts for Christmas for my two grandchildren if they are not done I won't worry about it - they each have birthdays in Feburary and for that matter you don't even have to have an occasion to give a gift of love to someone you love! Slowly progressing on my quilts and reaping the benefits it gives me to work on them! Bonnie -- http://community.webshots.com/user/bonnied9 "Diana Curtis" wrote in message ... Sometimes the thrill of getting a whole block made before going to work was enough to make it worth while. Im at home with a fun 3 year old now. I have more time to quilt than some, less than others. Its kind of like that AA philosophy, its not how much you quilt, or how often, but what happens when you do. When you squeeze in time, it makes you happy, yes? Thats the important part. Good luck on your first full sized quilts! whoohooo! Diana -- Heart and soul can make up for technical lacking in any form of art, but let the heart be lacking and all the perfection means nothing. "muse9" wrote in message ... I'm working on two twin size I Spy quilts. These are my first full size quilts so we'll see how it goes! So far I have all the squares cut out for both quilts and I've started cutting and piecing the sashings for one of them. I also have patterns and plans on making a Christmas wall hanging and buffet runner but I've not gotten anywhere with those yet. I am *very* impressed by everything all the rest of you have in the works! Some days it's all I can do to get home from work and get dinner and laundry but I try to work a little each day on the quilts. I love hearing about and seeing what everyone else is doing!

What a lovely and healthy attitude you have! I especially love the part
about not needing to wait for a special occasion to give a quilt. Your grandkids are lucky to have a gramma like you. Diana -- ..

Well I am stitching away at the Cathedral Windows that I have been
talking about for the last week or so that should be done in the next couple weeks. Then I want to get started on my "dream quilt". However I do have a couple WIP's that should be completed that I had to put aside earlier in the spring when I took that little turn with my health. They really should be completed since they are really right at the finish line. I also have to design a "Red Wings Hockey Quilt" for my daughter's husband. He is almost 'foaming at the mouth' for this quilt , and has been for several years. So it too is at the top of the list. So these are the top projects for my quilting projects right now. juliasb Diana Curtis wrote: Well? ;-) What sort of things does everyone have going at the moment in the quilt family?

Love the elephants, Wendy! This is shaping up into a fantastic quilt. Does
MFR know about it yet? Dee in LeRoy, NY "frood" wrote in message m... Aside from my daily chaos management and occasional piratical duties, I've been working on several projects. - I Spy quilts - one each for Spike and Giles. These are twin size (of course!), similar in design and layout (which I'm making up as I go along) but Spike's has pink fabric borders, and Giles' is purple. (also, Giles' has a block with Paddington Bear holding the letter G, and Spike's has Paddington holding an A, just so DH doesn't have to remember who is purple, and who is pink ;-P ) I'm about 1/2 finished with assembling the tops. I work on them alternately, one stage at a time. - FFF3 is basted, and ready to start quilting. The other 2 FFFs are done. - I finished embroidering around the edges of the elephants for Miss Fussy Rose's quilt, Pink Elephants on Parade http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/WIPs.htm This is all I'm currently working on, however, I will soon start working on a plaid quilt for my mom, and I'm sure I'll work in a few Halloween projects. Oh, I'm also busy packing for the Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza (what's a vaganza, and how do you get an extra one?) this week in Ft. Washington, PA. I'll be flying up Thursday evening, and going to the show Friday and Saturday. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Diana Curtis" wrote in message news Well? ;-) What sort of things does everyone have going at the moment in the quilt family?
