Good Evening everyone...
Excuse my absence, it is really all of your faults! lolol...now that all the cleaning is done, well now I am lost in a sea of materials.
I have been concentrating so hard on the patterns, mix and matching the variety of materials, shaking my head here, you gals got me started in whole new world! I eat, while looking through the book for next block, how should I put it together, and blending is really hard!
But, I have discovered that using clear plastic for the templates are the best way to go for me...lol, today i forgot to eat. But I worked a Basket and the Pinwheel, Just finished tracing and cutting the template for the OH star.
Thank you for your support on my blocks, I really appreciate it because you all do such lovely work. I am beginning to feel more confident with mine...Big smiles for Jaye and Marion, and you all!!.
Jaye, how funny, just thinking your boulder holder, molds, ice chests, and whatever other funny use name was provided...Had to giggle some more that you still getting them!! Well, now I sure hope your feeling better. Your 5in. will melt in a quick hurry!
Heheheh, Marion and Linda Kaye off to the corner again, need A new Bailey's bottle?
Awww, Kim, I was a bit bummed you couldn't make it, but I did realize you probably got over whelmed with all the appointments and traveling you have been doing. Thanks for telling me you forgot, I appreciate your honesty over it...LOL, You just want me to Hand deliver your present that's been getting grey hair since you moved, ROFLOL! Yep i am still planning on coming to visit with you and Susan-T.Chi!

So nice to see you post BJ!! LOL, I sure know what you mean about DH's getting bored! Sounds like your project is well underway.
Awe, how cute you have a Beagle, keeping fingers crossed training will go quick and easy.
Barb, Ohhh your Honey bee pillow is so Pretty! How neat it was your first square too...LOL, My first square was just that, lol Worked a 9 patch for my first real quilt! Marion helped me with it. Got to laugh, it was suppose to be a weekend project and it took me 3 months.
Cindy, I know you are just a busy bee! I hope having fun with the towels too. What a cute frog you sent to Jaye modeling uh, the frogarment! too cute, did you make the frog? OHh, lol I thought The Camelia was the name of the rose, thanks for setting me strait, it's a beauty.
Crissy, Sure hope your feeling better. Gentle Armwraps to you. ((((((())))))) Also, thanks for the reminder on Brug!
Well, looks as if I've written a book! I think about all of you all the time. Especially these past couple of days since most of the material is from you from last years birthday. Jaye, you know, This quilt could be used as a table cloth or a cover up. I am making it as a Sampler piece, hahaha mind could change at any given moment.
OK, I better go see if Tacos are ready I'm starved...
See you later.
Shucks, I was good for a couple of days and I am still in the corner!! Must be me personality!!!!! Everyone knows I am going to do something bad so put me in the corner and never let me out. Sob! Sob!
What Kathy is snowed in? Oh that is something!! Waving as I hope she does have her computer working and that she is staying warm. We had the sun out brightly today but was oh so cold!! Thank goodness no ice or snow to deal with. More rain is predicted for the coming week but not sure what day---temps to stay in low 50s or high 40 a couple of days.
Please all, stay warm and take care.
OBTW Jaye, love you froggie and his attire--all! ......and the red! Well all I can say is greeeeee.
OK - reporting that my beaujolais is good, very smooth.
And that Celtic Woman was AWESOME. That gal with the fiddle kept leaping off the steps and dancing while she was playing. And she did it in SKINNY HEELS!!! Randall said his heart just about stopped the first time she did it.
he was mesmerized by the drummers.
Write a book anytime, sistah Judy. You've always made sure to address everyone.. no sistah left behind!
Slept when we got home. Got invited to a Chinese New Year steam boat dinner, but had to turn it down.
Think I'll be staying home tomorrow, let Kel go to church by himself.
No, I don't have the flu. Got all my flu shots.. but like Bon here, proned to chronic sinus infections, even though I flush out my sinuses :*(
Good night sistahs.
Jaye, I just got home from work and your package was here!!lovely fabric, thanks so very much!! and the pics in the mag are great!! ^-^ thanks much for that too, some interesting quilts from the peak I took also....I will check it out more in the am.....but I could not wait to look at the tatts!!!
Hello all!
Well, busy day today, and I'm about ready to sleep - it's almost 1am........
Take care sweet sistahs! Jaye - ColdFX is available in the states....... not sure where though........ take it, and take care!
Susan
Good morning everyone. Happy Valentines day to each and everyone one!
Thunder, please explain the tatt's???
Happy Valentine's Day ladies.
Everything that's sweet is wished for you all!
Susan, Coldfx is sold at almost every drug store here at discounted prices at times. Some sites say it might not work for all, so.. I might have to triple the dose instead with the next purchase.
LK, some quilters use tatts to express their love of quilting. Wished I had scanned the pages for you.
Where will you be taking your dad today?
Staying away from church. Ears ache, throat's sore.. still on antibiotics. Gonna eat 'clean' today. Grilled veges and soup.
Have a fantastic Valentine celebration !
I'm waiting for my Sweetie to come and take me to lunch, and bring me my Valentine! He always brings me a dozen roses and a Teddy bear! Last year be brought me a smaller one 'cause I'm running out of room to put them! I have two hanging from the walls! I love them! He's so sweet! Can you tell I love him?
You better love him!! Roses and Teddies are not cheap anymore, unless he plucked the roses off someone's grave!!!
Joking... I am glad you got a good man there that loves you unconditionally.
Good Morning Ladies,
A little something for you all.

Aww thanks Cindy! Love you sistah!!
LK, perhaps you'd be interested in this too? I had ordered me a set plus a pattern. Maid M introduced me to it. Anything to make quilting life easier.

Cindy that's so sweet!!! Thank you!! I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!! Me and Dave aren't celebrating it this year, there was too much snow on the ground when we needed to be card and gift shopping, so oh well. I made chocolate chip cookies for him last night ;)
Thanks for the hugs Judy!
Jaye, are you talking about the fun n done patterns?
Happy Valentines Day, sweets for the sweetest. Okay, here is your laugh for the day: I called my GDs to wish them a Happy Valentines Day and the youngest (4 1/2) only comment was: Really?
Jaye as much as I would love to have the credit for the above site, it was me but quilter_gal who posted the link. It is really a neat idea and I, too, have ordered a set. I might get some finished by using that method as hand quilting is just to hard for me to do anymore.
Bright sunny day here, in the 50s but the rain is due back tomorrow.
Anyone heard from Kathy and the snow?
Marion, how does it work, I can't get the videos to load, I keep getting an error page?
LK, I posted it at the other building!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY SISTAHS!
19 years ago today, I officially accepted Randall's proposal of marriage! My guy is so romantic. He remembers, and we celebrate, the day we met, the day I unofficially said yes, the day I officially said yes, the day we wed, and the day we might have conceived our daughter! LOL
should comment here, before anyone asks - I said, "ok" on Jan. 14th, but then started waffling and dragging my feet about getting the ring picked out, setting the date, etc. In fact, I demanded a 1 year engagement, I was so scared to remarry.
3 weeks later, I danced too many times at the Longbranch with another guy (he helped teach me to dance). Randall about hit the roof. He set a deadline of one week to chose the ring. As luck had it, the ring was picked, sized and ready on Valentine's Day. And he made sure the kids came along to the Mexican restaurant where we'd had our first date, so he'd have witnesses this time when I said yes! LOL
here it is LK
http://www.baysidequilting.com/store/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=284
Ordered the tools and a pattern.
And wishing you and Randall both more years of celebrating Valentine's/Anniversary day together!
thanks!
At the other building, there's a new room to share our quilting enthusiasms.
Sistah Judy.. you need to post your block here.. and for those that have already started to do something with the sistah fabric!
I am still trying, but I can't get the video to load, still trying?
what tools did you order?
LK, I ordered the Fun and Done tool (18.99) and a pattern.. Blooming Bossums.
I can't wait for them to get here!
Lolol.. that 'bossums' supposed to be Blossums!!! Thank God it's not Bosoms!!

Jaye would that quilt pattern be called a "Tit for Tat".......?LOL
Happy Valentines Day everyone ~~~~~~~~~~~
Synda.. tu es mauvais!!! (loosely translated.. you are bad!)
Hehehehe.. Indeed Tit for tat!!!
How have you been. Has the snow stopped totally? Do hope the roads there, including the back roads, are safe for Rick and his work buddies.
S.O.S
Just talked to Michael... Sis Kathy's DH.. and he's asking for help.
Our darling sistah, who's supposed to be a Southern belle, CANNOT make biscuits from scratch, even using any pre-mix stuffs.
So please, post easy doable biscuit recipes to help her out and regain her Southern pride!!
Hiya Sistahs!! I found you at the other room! Thanks for posting that link, Jaye ^_^
♫♪~§usan~♪♫
Susan, I'm packing your fabric plus other essentials. They'll be (hopefully)mailed next week!! Me so scatter brained!!! ---sob---
Here's an easy biscuit recipe:
Brown Sugar Shortbread Biscuits
Ingredients
8 oz soft butter
2 1/2 cups sifted plain flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
Method
In a large bowl put butter and sugar and beat till light and fluffy and then blend in the flour until smooth and well combined. The dough will be firm. Chill for several hours. Divide the chilled dough in half. Working one half at a time roll to 1/3 inch thick and cut into shapes with a 1 1/2 inch cutter. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased shallow oven trays and bake at 300 degrees for 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Lift the Brown Sugar Shortbread Biscuits onto wire cooler immediately.

Waiving Hello, sending armwraps and kisses for a Happy Valentine Day.
Hope you all had a lovely day.
be back in a bit, I got to run an errand...
Jaye, I didn't get the roses this year, he said W*M didn't have any flowers! Instead, I got a talking Teddy, and a VERY romantical card! I would have much rather had the card!
OMG..Susan, that sounds so easy and delicious! I might have to make some too.
Hope Sis Kathy was able to use it too.
I sure do hope so, Sistah Judy!! Michael sounds desperate.. never heard a grown man beg that bad :(
Audrey, I didn't even get a card, nor flowers...nor candy. It's okay with me, as I know I'm Kel's only Valentine!!
Jaye know how you feel was all my life that way.. I so hope your feeling so much better and will stay well.
I love homemade biscuts &gravy and make the best ones but my southern husb. would rater have canned ones ugh.. why>?? beats me.
all be well. warm safe.. have great week.
Kathy, hope that reciped helped you out? All I do for biscuits, is open a can of Grands, flaky, and cook!
No big Celebrations here, we know we love each other, and don't believe all the hype and advertisements!
LK, sis said that she even failed with the canned biscuits!!!!
Goodness.. Maid M. might have to teach her at Cookie's!
Fairy tales.. can come true... it can happen to you.. if you're young at heart....
Hang in there Cindy.. Steve might be your perfect Prince Charming with all his human frailties ;)
Night sistahs!
Hello Ladies,
Yes Jaye, you just might be right. He got here last night around 5:30 and left at 5:00 this evening. We talked about all the crafting things we want to make together. He will be coming up more often to work with me. And I will be going down there to spend time with him and his mom. His mom really likes me because she see how happy Steve is when he talks about me. Just wished he could get a job.
Sweet Cindy how did you do today,I know how hard this day is for you .......((((((((((Big Hugs)))))))))) I have thought of you a hundred times today !!!!!
We are to get another big blast of snow tomorrow afternoon.........Pray it holds off until I go to town to order fuel oil,we only have 4" in a 44" tank.And I have an eye doctors appt. at 1 pm that I can't miss,I really need to see and I don't do that to well at the moment !!!!!!!!
All be well and stay warm !!!!!!!!!
Morning Ladies,
Synda, having Steve with me yesterday helped.I had gotten up early and was online, went to FB and saw where my daughter had posted about missing my hubby too. Then the tears started and I had a hard time getting them to stop. Then later in the day my mom was talking with my daughter and she told us that her ex-father-in-law has two tumors on his lungs. I am so heart broken, I was so hoping we could get through on year with losing a family member. You see he was also the man who married Francis and I, even though he is ex-in-law, he always was very close to us. He was also the man who did my husbands memorial service. My grandson is very close with him, and I know this is going to hit him hard. Ok enough of that.
How about those races huh!!!! Crissy, what a fantastic finish!!!
Morning everyone. Cindy so sorry you have another sick family member. Seems like once they have been in the family, they are always part of the family. Sending thoughts and prayers for him.
Coffee is on, and hot oatmeal for a cold morning here. Only 32 degree's. Who turned on the cold???
Dad and I went for a Short ride last night, and on the way home, the speeometer in the truck went up to 120 miles per hour, after I pulled over on the shoulder and was stopped. It would not go back to zeero. I called Todd and told him, and he said to get home quickly, as there is an electrical short somewhere. I was so scared, there may have been a fire or something. I got home safely, and he said he would check it out today. I do hope it is something easy to fix! Not to mention, not knowing how fast I was going?
