Just Sew Simple Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Yes, well I have! Today I cut out several blocks using a pattern I knew would turn out to measure 12 1/2 square. I got the first one done and measured and it was 12 1/4 square. What??? Lets try that again. I, re-measured, re-cut and tried it all again. Still is wasn't exactly 12 1/2 square. Finally, I punched it and pulled it and threw it in the air. I crumpled it and twisted it and squashed it thread bare. After I took my foot off its neck and ironed it out flat, it gave in, squared up and was the right size. Whew! Only 15 more to go!:o:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltnana Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Ah, Sylvia! You make me feel like I am not the only one who goes thru this! And you are so experienced and I am not! By the way, folks, Sylvia is a lot younger than I am, but she has been doing this for years and I am new, so she is my mentor. I want to get started on the blocks too, however, I am concerned because Teresa has not acknowledged:D my u2u. I just want to make sure she got my mail. How do I do that?

I just want to make sure she got my mail. How do I do that? Have you emailed her as well....we don't always check our U2U's on a regular time frame, although I'm sure that Teresa does as much as she can. Go find one of her last posts and below in the box where all the little blue icons are..is one that states email...that is her personal home email addy....and she will get that I'm sure. Just put in BOLD in the subject box the intent and she will get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam H Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Yep I've started on them, and since I am locked out of the house right now and can only get into my studio I think I will work on them some more, while I wait for my guys to get home from hunting and let me in the house.

Just Sew Simple Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 You all are just too funny! But sometimes it is just as much fun to think about quilting as it is to quilt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocoholic Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 New Year's blocks?? What New Year's blocks? Are there rules? Can anyone join? Are we exchanging? OK, I admit it, I am a bit behind on the list, but will someone take pity on me and let me know about this? Sheila (who has been very busy with customer quilts lately, which is good, I guess. It pays more than reading the list does, but isn't always as fun.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore1223 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Sheila, If I did this right, here's the link for the New Year's swap. http://www.apqs.com/quiltboard/viewthread.php?tid=13471 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocoholic Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Thanks much, Colleen. Sounds like fun, but I won't be joining, however, as I don't have any 30's fabric in my stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirabelle Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Well my muslin arrived and I was all excited to start until someone rang on Friday pleading with me to quilt her Christmas quilts for her. There is only 3 she said. She must have caught me in a weak moment or I just might be a sucker but I said "yes no problem you'll have them by Christmas" Now where did I put the valium!!!! Will post photos of the finished Eagle quilt tomorrow (if I find time) So the plan is Boxing Day I am putting a Do Not Disturb sign on and piecing my blocks. Well that is the plan, we'll see if I can stick to it......My DH goes back to work on Christmas day so it will be very quiet in our house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
