| The rubberized fabric is nice Mittsy but I wasn't thrilled working with it. Whenever I had to sew with the rubber side down on the faceplate, I had to use a piece of tissue paper to keep it moving smoothly. And of course it took at least three seams for me to realize what to do about the problem...But, after really taking my time with it, the bag did come out all right.
That mushroom fabric was sent to me by the Mom-to-be. She asked if I could use it when I made the bag and then I found all those other delightful fabrics to go with it.
I'm off to Quilters Cache to find more blocks to use for a row robin swap in the other house. I have several to make and don't want them all the same... |

Also, Norm oredered those DVDs for me and I think it might be a good idea for me to wait and use them. I have a great setup here in our office with two computers. I can put the DVD in Norm's and watch and pause while I have mine on EQ7 and can do as they say. I learn a lot better that way. Did that with Word and Excel and it worked out great. |

| Okay, so the quilt was already made, just waiting for the perfect fabric for the binding. Thanks to Karen the perfect fabric made its way to me and now the quilt is finished! Soon it will be given to little Lucas (he is about 6 months old now). I'm glad I did not make him a 'baby' quilt, I think this is more a little boys' quilt. Hopefully he will treasure (and USE it) for years.

On the panel and pinwheels, the pinwheels are SID with a + with in the block, the smaller panels are stitched over the inner printed square surrounding the blossums and the larger panels are stitched along the stems of the flowers and along the edge of the vases... all using machined. |

| When I joined Rocket Quilters I participated in a service quilt in. We stayed after the regular meeting to quilt a bunch of quilts. They taught us a method of quilting that is quite easy. If you have a sewing machine with decorative stitches, you choose the serpentine stitch and open it up to the widest width, be sure to use the correct foot that will accommodate this width. Now do some practice stitches, adjusting the stitch length as you go until you get a nice serpentine shape. This is so forgiving, decorative and easy. Give it a try! |

My D9Q is not by any means perfect. In fact, I couldn't arrange the re-oriented portions of the squares exactly as Mojo suggested due to issues I had with piece size (I now know not to measure by the grid on the cutting mat), but like the results.

| Kizmo... I like the effect. Wish that mine came out as nice the first time I used it. I would consider it again if I had the ability on the new machine. I have a walking foot that I recently got on line for the singer, but, although it was wasier for me to work with the quilting bulk (manually manipulating the quilt through the machine), it doesn't compare with the new machine. May try it again on smaller quilts or if I want to 'mix-it-up' within the blocks sometime.
Psych... There were a couple of on-line sewing machine outlets that I found when I googled the model # of the walking foot that were decently priced. The sight 'The Find' (I think) will give you competing site prices side by side and you can then link up to the site of the store. |

| Pat , You get a gold star and a (((HUG))). That's called "Scrap Management". I paid $15.00 to learn that! I did however get to pick out of the trash and got some nice Batik scraps! Reward yourself by buying a half dozen clear shoe boxes. Label each one as to size. Keep one size in each box. As you build up your stash, you separate into lights and darks, prints and solids, etc. I have several boxes of 3.5" squares so when I need 20 for a scrappy Ring Around Rosie, it's very easy to just start pickin! |

| There's coffee, mint and chocolate flavored yogurts and lots of stuff made with Carob. Can you eat the flavored yogurts as I'm sure they're flavored and not true mint/coffee/chocolate? |

| Oh thanks Stu, I didn't realize you could get yogurt in those flavors!!! Usually I just go for the Greek plain yogurt and haven't paid that much attention to the flavored ones. I think I might be able to have the flavored ones--sure hope so. It is just precaution right now as I have had some trouble but I really think it is stress related. Gonna miss my Starbucks and yes, I am one of those nuts who buys Starbucks. Besides I have to help my granddaughters college fund--LOL |

| Stress can cause a surprising lot of physical problems. I've had itching without hives, back muscle pain, and headaches in addition to stomach pains all from stress. |

| Marion, I used to drink at minimum a gallon of coffee every day...and doctor told me to give it up!!!! I now have one cup most days, occasionally two, if I do the second one is decaf... and one coke every day...(much cheaper than migraine meds)...I feel your pain :( just keep thinking of those lovely grands...and how you want to be here to spend time with them...makes it easier to give up the goodies we love...You can do it!!!!! |

| Thanks everyone, it won't really be all that bad. Just need to say I can do this and I can--have done much worse like adjusting to being a widow. The grands are what keeps me sane through all of this. I keep hoping to get some time in sewing but it just seems to evade me at the moment. Maybe today as I hate being so late with things. |

| no worries, Marion...we have all been "late" more than once!!! Life happens...do it as you can...the most important thing is to take care of YOU, then you can take care of Momma...and somewhere in there if you have the wish to sew...you can take care of us...again NO WORRIES...do what you can when you can, or when you feel up to it!!! oh you know what I mean!!!! ((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))) big hugs to you !!! |
