@ kat - Wow, glad ya'll got the fire out. That is such a scary moment when you have to grab the fire extingisher!
We have them (estinguishers) under the kitchen sink & under our bed.
I had to use one on a grease fire in the kitchen once, really close call & after I got it out my big thought was not only how glad I was it was out but how glad I didn't have to call 911 as my DH was currently at that moment running a training session at the local volunteer fire dept. , can you imagine how @##$ he'd have been to get a call b/c I was burning the house down
Besides brooder bulb wattage, ya''ll keep in mind the top housefire cause these days is LAPTOPS overheating while not in use (we turn ours all the way off esp. when we go to sleep).
The other big cause here of several house fires was dryers, lint built up in the trap or in the dryer itself. So everyone check that & by all means have those ABC extingishers in kitchen AND bedrooms!
@ quailtrail YAH! You did it!
I've really enjoyed the whole group effort part of doing this swap. The eventual quilt will have character, AND be perfect in its memories of how we all did our best and everyone is a learning work in progress. I think your blocks look lovely btw, great fabric choices too.
@ cathiesue The 2 dresses I like but my short round self is not the body type for either one. The big snuggly fleece will be great for hanging out on a snowy day reading sewing patterns etc. & pockets are good, everything should have pockets!
Ok now I need to go mark diagonal lines on fabric sq so I can get on w/ doing Ohio Star blocks for the flip side of the log cabin quilt. I'd debating between a row of them top & bottom vs. just one in each corner. The center will have a large Red O for Ohio State background being grey (school colors). I'm going to do 4 blocks then we'll see if it is corners or more for rows...
