but I can appreciate the pretty...
.we actually had a ''patched'' sofa, many a year ago...it was a sofa given to us..back when we could not afford to buy anything...and it was comfy, and fabric started to wear out...so I sewed patches on it , just like we all did to our jeans back then...wish I had a picture of that old thing...

| When my nephew was young and VERY rough, I used to love to patch his jeans. He let me do "cool things" to them. I still remember the huge bandaid print iron on patch we used once on the knees of a pair of jeans. The car fabric I used... with "Going" "GOING" on the front of his jeans (GONE on his bottom!) Besides patches that were "necessary" we used to add a few just for decorative purposes... |

She pushes the mouse away when she gets a chance. When I came home from work today it was obvious she "had fun" with my laptop. I had LOTS of programs open AND the cap lock on!!!

My husband has been here since late Thursday and he will leave tomorrow. It's always hard to see him go. He took out the old gas fireplace insert and slid in a different, more effective one. It's a lot nicer looking too. He went back to bed this morning, he's not feeling well & I'm headed to work. We had lots of company for Easter.
Jalouse is adorable and funny. I got her right into the vet's and got her sprayed. She won't leave her stitches alone so we had to put an Elizabeth collar on her. She got the stitches out yesterday AND got to take off the collar. Oh my!!! Last night she was chasing her tail and doing flips in the air!! I'll ask my husband to get some pictures for me so I can get one posted. |

| No problem Sheila. I'm thinking of combining several swap blocks together and the making the label on the back a sort of map of the front. As in who made each block. I need to give this some more thought... |

| Things are going well. husband is making headway on the Boise house and hopes to move here soon.
I used to address the envelopes with the address and on the inside write the dimensions and colors of each person that I needed to mail a block to. I would organize them by colors so I did all the "same colors" at one time. If I had multipe swaps going on, I but the info for both on ONE envelope for anyone I had in both swaps. |

| I brought back a whole trunk load of flower starts from Boise last weekend and have been swamped at work ever since.
I even missed church today, I slept right thru! I'm gone out twice in the last 48 hours to the most distant place we do investigations. My boss's days for on-call were Friday, Sat & Sun but her daughter went into labor early... so I had her days too. I have slept ALL daY, no calls yet today thankfully.
We have 2 new people hired to start this month. I can't wait until they can carry a share load of on-call. I'm exhausted.
Only sewing I have done is mending or hemming... I miss quilt blocks! |

| LOL... you ladies are just TOO sweet!!! Would you believe 1/2 way thru the day the ONLY other therapist called in sick she was vomiting (she was the on-call today, so I got the rest of HER shift! Jeez, it sucks to be salaried!). I'm the SCHEDULED on-call tomorrow!!! IF ANY other therapist makes it to work tomorrow, SHE can be on-call, I don't care that I'm scheduled!!! This is INSANE!
We got high bad winds today, THAT wouldn't be so bad but when we get winds we get MAJOR dust-outs! Roads actually close because of poor visability with the blowing dust. My allergies were killing me today until I realized THAT is why I feeling so bad and took some allergy medicine. I can be so slow to "get it!" I have not had allergies until the last few years so when I feel exhausted and can't sleep it off I just assume I'm "coming down with something", I dont' think of allergies!
When the next swap comes up, let me know. Work or no work I need some quilting time!!! All work and no quilting makes a GRUMPY Pat! |

1st row...blue, red, blue, blue
2nd blue, red, red, red

| Thunder and Pat --- What you would cut at 3 1/2" square and then cut in half to make a triangle, you would cut at 3 7/8" and NOT cut. Stack together, stitch on both sides of the diagonal middle and cut apart. This would give you two completed squares.
For each FINISHED (after seams are sewn) size square you want to make just add 7/8" to it for the cut size. Ex: 3"finished = 3 7/8" cut, 4" finished = 4 7/8" cut.
Hope this makes sense to you. I don't always explain things very well...
For Thunders block above you would need 4 red, 4 blue and 8 white cut at 3 7/8", draw the diagonal line on the back of the white and sew one white to each colored square on both sides of the line. Cut apart on the line and press to the dark.. Lay out in the pattern you want and then sew together. |

| Barb, yes you have it right. I cut mine at 4 inches and trim off that extra little bit so they are exactly what I want. |

| Great idea Sondra - that would make them very accurate. Or if you have a hard time with 1/4" seam allowance, you might cut them at 4 1/4", sew them together, cut apart and then square them up to the 3 1/2" squares you need. Or whatever size square you are making...Need 3" finished = cut at 4 1/4", sew, cut apart, square to 3 1/2"; need 4" finished = cut at 5 1/4", sew, cut apart, square to 4 1/2"; etc...
This does have some waste but if you are new to triangles, this gives you an accurate way to do them without all the frustration of them coming out crooked or too small..
Just an opinion... |

| finally have all mine finished now, had to redo a couple that were less than the 12.5. Mailing out in the morning... Just a small note: To all in these last couple swaps, I sincerely apologize for being so late in completing and mailing. I realize that the deadlines were set for a specific reason, and at the time I agreed to sign up, it seemed very do-able. There is no real excuse for falling behind, other than I allowed too many Life issues to take priority over me. Hopefully you all enjoy the ones I am sending out, as I have attempted to combine colors according to your wishes.
I do appreciate the ones I have received and have them intended to make a foot covering for the bed.
