This is not an exclusive club. All are welcome here. We just like to call ourselves sistahs, with the exception of a juve.. or nieces.

We'll stick to DG rules, not to offend anyone. No political nor sexual topics.

am I 1st?

I'm here!!!

Yes you are Tina-Tia.
I can smell Punk Boy!!
Okay, bringing over the interest Marion had started for a quilt project for charity. Crib/Baby/lap quilt size? BJ also suggested a ragged quilt. That's very fast to put together. We can have both!!
Willing to do other sistahs' squares. I know there are a couple that don't quilt.

Hey Kim.. the exotic!! How's the cruds??

Jaye I feel a whole lot better : ) Thanks!

I know I'm one that doesn't quilt. You can do my squares- but then you would have to put them together lol Isn't that like you doing the whole thing???

Tina, lolol!! I'm just doing the blocks!!! Okay, I can do 3. So, Kim, do you quilt.
Nice to see you back with us Tina.

got an idea and I would be willing to do it, those that dont quilt or sew, could send the fabric to ones that vol. to make a lap quilt or baby quilt.

poppin in to keep track of threads will be back in a bit have to hit the shower yet but will not smell like grapes when I get out ..rofl

Punk boy and I are in an argument, I told him if he didnt start to settle down I will not let him sleep in, he said if I stop being a punk can I sleep in. He stopped. Dang it gotta keep the upper hand. Is it saturday yet.....................

I could have a V8!!!
Why didn't I think of that.. lolol... cause I know I'm gonna end up making one!!

I will when I get him to sleep. I do not dare leave him alone. A tornado hitting this house would be more better.

ROFL!! Tell Punk Boy, each complain you have about him, especially not following sound orders, mean his Christmas present from this granma shrinks in size :D

I made the jump... but I'm going back to bed in a minute... was thirsty, and thought about getting caught up here while I drink some water...

How would you like to have 4 punk boys running around ??--Tornado doesn't even cover it !!

BJ, are you still having the inexplicable pain??

They're all yours, Tina in MB?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Tina bite your tongue................ I have 4 punk girls all with in 5 yrs of each other

Gran's Jaye, I told him, he just pfftttttttt me.

Not right now Jaye... I'm just exhausted from not sleeping much last night.

They are all my DGS's. They 9,7,and 6 months. Oh I would love a girl !!

Oops forgot the 4 year old.

I hope you sleep good tonight BJ. I need at least 8 hours of sleep and lately I've been getting the most.. 5.

Okay I finally found everyone again.

Kim, the exotic, so glad to see you post!! Yikes, you been down with the crud? That's not fun--get well we need you here with us all in good shape and no bugs, please!!!

Grapes? Okay I prefer peaches but grapes will do I guess. Punk Boy's adopted grandmas are going be unhappy if he doesn't do as he is told. LOL, I would say you have a hand ful Tia, Tina, Whatever.

Well Tina, I was thinking about you this afternoon and wondering where you were. Good to see you with us again.

Okay, let me think this out!! Yeap, I do my best thinking out loud so....if it (they) are going to be donated to a children's floor at the hospitals then the size should be anywhere from baby to lap size. I think they could be left up to the individual. BJ's idea of a rag quilt is perfect.

That would not require hand stitching or locating someone to machine quilt--I don't do either very well. Hand stitching is definitely out as I just can't anymore. I am trying to think of all the pros and cons right now so anyone please jump in with advice!!

Having not done a rag quilt but familiar with them would there be a problem with the edges for small children? Allergies? Yes, those who don't quilt if they would like to send fat quarters to the others would be perfect.

I really don't want to over burden anyone right here at the holidays so I am thinking maybe starting it in January--time isn't an issue as hospitals are always in need.

lol, I get a granddaughter any day now. I wont get to see her much but she is still mine. I think she is due around the 15 of this month.

Tina in MB I have 2 GDs would like a GS--hummm trade maybe? Blond, blue eyed but a wee bit animated--no, a lots animated and active.

If this goes I was going to yarn quilt it, something fast simple and easy. Could have some done just in time for christmas, babies in the hospital at that time of year is just so sad.

Marion, whatever you decide on, it will be fine with me. I can always learn a new craft!

Yea for a the girl- I'm going to buy her a baby doll. I bought one for one of my DGS and his Dad got mad. Can you imagine that?? lol

Thanks Tia, I forgot about tying them. That is fast and a really good method. Shucks, those who don't quilt could take them after they are assembled and yarn tie them. Hummm, got me thinking now. I agree, it is so sad --any child having to be in the hospital at any time much less Christmas.

Anyone interested in yarn tying any? Should this go to the other thread Jaye or can the SI group do it as a charity project in the name of Dave's?

My oldest GD has requested a gasp!!! gun for Christmas!!! She is a sight sometimes in her ballet costume over her cammies!!

Jaye, I want all to have some say before this really flies.

I dont see why not. Sounds like a very heart warming idea.. I am in for sure. We could do it for our own local hospital or one we all pick?

Marion, maybe you could post it in the sewing and quilting forum, as to gather more interests. You would get more quilts too.

Feel free to do it here, if you're more comfortable with us. We do have quite a number of sewers. And the raggy quilt goes fast too..

Ok maybe not a quilt for all to do, maybe something that would bring a smile to a child or anyone in the hospital/nursing home make it an adopt a person away from home type thing. It could be a blanket, quilt, baby doll, toy truck ................... just adopt a person for Christmas.

I didn't mean to ignore your posts about the quilts for children in the hospitals- ya'll are just too fast for me !!

you didnt, we can be chatty at times and then there are times that it is quiet here. I know Imagine that.

Tina-Tia, then I have to bow out. It will be after Christmas.
Every year, we 'adopt' kids... from the local elementary school and whatever names the Salvation Army gave us.
Then we also 'adopt' senior citizens...
That's why we don't do Christmas decorations except for one wreath that's from his late brother..... all the money goes to them.

Oh Tina from MB, we didn't think you were ignoring us at all. I dropped out this afternoon to finsh my laundry and cook dinner only to come back and find an entirely need room to chat. Just chatty, fast women here! Correction fast typing women here.

Where is eveyone now? Trisha, Laura, Cindy even Tink and Janice? BJ I know doesn't feel well and didn't sleep much last night. Kathy is having fudge cake so we have to excuse her.

Jaye, that is one reason I didn't really want to get this started until after the Holidays. DD and I adopt people also and with all the other things going on it is just to much on everyone's plate. As much as I would love to say do this for this year, I can't really because I don't really have the time either right now.

Everyone will donate items for Christmas, it is after that the need still exsist and donations have slacked for the children. I was thinking maybe in time for Valentines's Day.

Good idea Marion- sign Jaye up for a handmade quilt from me!! lol

ok that sounds good also. I will adopt a.............. for christmas also. I was adopted a very long time ago( when I was a single mom working 2 job with babies) and now it is time I will do it.
