Roll Call: What did you do "quilty" today?
double wedding ring? If so -- how are you doing it? Paper pieced? template? I'm on the end
stretch of my second (and probably last ever DWR)! I used the acrylic templates -- What colors are you using? Tell us more!

For $6, I came home with a grocery bag full of exciting scraps, squares and even a full yard piece. Now, all I need to do is start sewing. Rita L. I started cutting out pieces for my first wedding ring something or another... lol |

Roll Call: What did you do "quilty" today?
does it just kill you how DH's can drop pounds so much easier than we can? My DH is the same way.
When he decides to drop a few... within a few weeks he's down 20+! Makes me want to kill him!!!! (or at least buy him candy and cooking lots of pasta for him!)

I am also still in the middle of bear-claw quilt for myself, which always gets pushed off for another project. My husband has asked me to try to take in his pants because HE LOST 55 lbs on MY DIET!

Good Luck on your exam! Long ago (in a previous lifetime) I did pretty good with math... Not sure
that part of my brain still functions.... I'm sure you'll do great! Kate in MI http://community.webshots.com/user/K_Groves -- "Debi Matlack" wrote in message link.net... Sadly, not a darn thing. I have an algebra midterm on Monday and I did homework, studied, did some more algebra, figured out that radicals won't kill me, decided that my grades would be better if I could actually add and subtracts regular numbers ;-) and still have some practice-for-the-test homework to finish. -- Debi Chaos, panic and disorder ... my work here is done. |

Uhm, I read the news group and I moved a piece of fabric from the dryer top
to the table; does that count? I need to do some pressing and cutting for a Steelers quilt for my daughter; I am using Jessamy's 4th of July mystery quilt pattern for this one. I liked my red/white/blue one so much, I thought I would try it in other colors. Elizabeth in Spring, Texas "Kate G." wrote in message ...

Nothing, but I did unpack boxes for my office. After the garage, my
sewing room (the BOX ROOM) is next. However, I'm currently uninspired sewing-wise, so I'll wait for the muse to strike. Or the pink squares I ordered to arrive, which ever comes first. Have to find the iron. Have to find the ironing board. Have to find the sewing machine. Have to ..... : joan On Oct 14, 10:42*pm, "Kate G." wrote: I didn't get any sewing done... *but did receive a special goody in the mail! *Nancy's Notions had advertised a great deal on thread with a nice storage case AND a sewing machine travel case. *I splurged. *It came today. *I am so excited!

I finished making 9 paper pieced blocks. Last April I won a "Tin Box
Sampler Series" of gorgeous crackle charm fabrics as a door prize. The pattern is "Courthouse Steps". Now I just have to put them together and finish the 12" X 12" project. I had plenty of time to sew as DH and all three sons were at the Penn State football game....they won't be happy when they return home today! Alice in PA "Kate G." wrote in message ...

Not only that, but my secret sister sent me some chocolate a while
back. I hid it knowing there would be a time when I would REALLY want it. That time was yesterday. Went to get it - it was gone. He found it and ate it!

Whoops, just remembered, I put a piece of backing in the washer
yesterday to pre-shrink and forgot all about it. Linda PATCHogue, NY On Sun, 15 Oct 2006 14:52:42 GMT, "elspeth" wrote: Uhm, I read the news group and I moved a piece of fabric from the dryer top to the table; does that count? |

Roll Call: What did you do "quilty" today?
It's been fun reading what everyone is working on!
I bought a pattern "Fat Quarter Quilting: Four Fabric Quilts" Thre are 9 small (16"x20") quilt designs. I finished up the top piecing yesterday and stuck it in the "Top Finished, May Never Look At It Again" drawer. Either I misread the instructions or they were plum wrong, but I used Thangles to make the squares for the outer border and they were too big. After making 68 of them and putting them together, I found myself chopping out squares and cutting down the inside border to make it come out even. You can see the patterns he www.frommyhearttoyourhands.com They are really cute, but that makes me so MAD. Cindy |

Each motif has one of four very strong colours in the background. I have already finished the green and gold ones. Today was making the purple and blue. They're so nice, Cheryl! I think I'd be tempted to use the back side of them, since those cats are so cute. G I also posted some pictures of F's cow quilt. http://tinyurl.com/yz7qrh She does classes with me on Monday nights and this was her first applique project. Her second was the elephant head - http://tinyurl.com/yn39m6 -- That elephant still amazes me -- a first appliqué project isn't allowed to be that good!
