Fall Quilt Block Swap due October 15th

[WriterofWords]

Thank you, I'm a basket case and I admit it, but I hate doing this to you all.

Your good WriterofWords, hope everything settles down for you and we see you in another swap. Thank you for letting us know.

Just checking in to let you know I'm still here. lol WriterofWords sorry you had to drop out and you would not believe the names I was calling you like, so busy, to much to handle. God be with you.

I will have these done I also have a lot on my plate but I need some me time without worrying about everything else going on in my life.

Working on these takes my mind off of other things.

This is good therapy

I'm going to sit this one out due to an ornery sewing machine and should be able to do the next swap. Sorry to miss out!

We look forward to seeing you in the next swap. Thanks for letting us know.






Ladies, I need a name for my chicken coop I'm building. Something creative. I will post pic when I'm finished.

Hello Ladies,

Here is something some of you maybe interested in. These are called Priority quilts because they are only big enough to fit in a Priority Mailer. 9"X12" or smaller size requirement. They need quilts to auction for a great cause. Or you can bid on a quilt. The Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative. Here are the links for more information.

I sent my Mum's name in a couple of years ago to be included in the names quilts.

I'm sorry your mom had it.

This is a horrible disease my mother had it. She loved old movies and we had a collection for her. The only thing I said that was the beauty of this disease was that she got the joy of her movies like it was the first time seeing them in years. She would say " oh let me see that one I haven't seen it in years", but in reality it was maybe days. But I remember the smile she got when she would watch her old movies guess it transported her back in time.

I am sorry about your mothers. I have seen the disease but never experienced it first hand.

So ladies when is the next swap? I am behind on my "chores" so to speak. I have made one baby set and have another baby set to go & have yet to start my son's quilt. I am starting to feel more comfortable with my "new to me" sewing machine. Here's the baby set I just made (not a true quilt but a flannel rag with bibs & burp cloths to match):



I was thinking of making these to sell. What do you experienced quilters think? good or bad idea?
