۞ Sweet Interruptions ۞ 52

Deborah there was a movie "The Bucket List". Great but a little sad movie about two men who were gravely ill and what they wanted to do before "kicking the bucket" Hence: my "bucket list". I do have a book, once again will have to locate it, on doing t-shirt quilts. Add to my search list now.

BJ, that is larger than a lap quilt but nothing wrong with that. I personally like the size.

Janice, did the instructor mention anything about preshrinking the interfacing? Used to have to do that by soaking in lukewarm water, putting in a towel and sort of wringing but not wringing it out. Purpose is to have it not shrink once the quilt is washed as the shirts have already been washed most likely several times. Curious if they still advise doing that?

Well, BJ, that is 5 ft. x 6.6 ft, so you judge if that is too big.
I keep forgeting how big a single, double, queen size bed quilt is but there are tables on the web to look it up.

OH, Jack Nicholson, right?

Janice I'd be tickled to get the pattern. I've got shirts all the way back to when my boys were in kindergarden with tee ball all the way to college game shirts.

LOL Deborah... Don may be skinny, but with his long legs, and the way he likes to cover, he'll need every inch of 80" long... as for me... I just like to cuddle a blanket when I watch TV.... any size blanket.

Thanks, Marion... cause... it's kinda too late now... I sort of lost count when I was cutting.

Well, 5' by 6.5' is a good size, right?

As I said above, I like the lap quilts to be bigger than the normally stated sizes. I like big, roomy!!!

I would think so--how do you feel about the size?

No, Marion, not that kind of interfacing. This has a sticky side and a cloth side and is woven; you put the sticky side on the back of the t-shirt and iron it on (with heat). That keeps your t-shirt stability and keeps it from stretching while you work on the quilt.

Can I have some pie?

I like them big too...
That's the problem with the store bought ones we have now...they're too small... and I can't cover my feet and my chest at the same time... I wanted it bigger.

BJ, that's the size of my Double Lap Quilt!! Kel is soo big, I want it big enough to smother him in it!!!
Remember that log cabin quilt.. here it is again.

Hey Deborah,
My cousin that you sent the persimmons too.She made a quilt out of her daghters baseball jerseys. I'll have to email her and get the pix

Off to have dinner. All this quilting and food talk makes me hungry.
See you later.

Alrighty then... that's the size it's gonna be... it's gonna be just right for Don, and IF I ever get to use it... it'll wrap all around my feet... and I can scrunch it up around my ears... cool.

Janice when you get through with dinner, tell me more about the name of that coth sticky stuff you were telling Marion about. Like Staceypoo says, Im' confuddled.


Cindy, yes!!!! tell here to send you a picture!!!!

Janice, give me your plate dear big or little

BIG! That is my favorite kind.

Any one else for pie before Rick gets a hold of it? I made one about 3 weeks ago, I got 2 slices......................

I think I ate a whole cow!!!!! I've calmed down somewhat..

Judy, chin up girl. Don't make me sing "The sun will come up tomorrow" it might empty this room!!

Gosh, in my craziness over the game, how could I have missed Exotica Kim. Don't stay away too long now!!

Here ya go....Any one else?????

Back again…..had to run Laura to the store she wants to make a cheese cake for her DH…tomorrow is his birthday/

Mom and I make a lot of cards so get most of our paper in full reams (250 sheets per color) at PaperZone…..smaller amounts we get at the stamp stores, JoAnns or Michaels. No, most of my paper cutters either have a roller or sliding type blade like they use for scrapbooking. When I get some time I will add a bunch of cards to my Picasa album and post it so you can see some of the stuff we do.

Sounds like I should just ignore the ball games from what I’m hearing….

Depends on how many laps ya want to cover BJ…

Jaye I have some spare Prozac?

Me, Me. me, please.


Janice that is the type I was referring to. Fusible interfacing. Deborah, unless I have totally misunderstood Janice, Fusible interfacing is what you buy--the weight I think will be "featherweight" . Janice, what weight are you using?

Jaye, love the quilt--the colrs are super!!!

I have this visual of BJ covered to her "eyeballs" all cozy and warm!!!

Jay I love that quilt of yours!

Oh dear, has the ball game done her in? Do we need to call the rescue squad?

Wow, BJ, Love that wreath you got. So pretty, and with the peacock feathers you like so well! Bet it smells good too?
Cindy, love the pie, you got any left?

LISTEN UP everyone. Cindy can not only do candles, and fish, and bake, but looky what I got today. It is a lovely frame with hand made little shrinkys to hold all my socks I got from everyone. I did not include the socks, because I wanted to show off the board, and all the hard work she put into it. I love this board so much, it is so pretty!!!
CIndy, thank you so much.
But there is more to follow, so don't go anywhere!
LK

The LSU QB has had a bad day. :0( Throwing badly.....like he hasn't thrown before. Maybe something off the field is in his head becuase he's not in the game skill wise.

Looks like there were handmade too! Pretty little flowers and butterflies on the tootsies! And so comfy too!
LK

Poor Jaye!! Guess I should see what the Seminoles are/have done--then maybe not. Not sure!!

Linda Kay how nice. A place to hang all our one of a kind sock!!!

Cindy made the socks? Wowzers as the Tink would say!!!!

And I got my fabric from her, not only for the swap, but all the pretty Christmas prints as well. Here are the fabrics from the swap. All the beautiful fall colors, for my runner I am working on. it is going to be so pretty when I get it done!
Cindy, thank you so much girl, you have definately outdone yourself!!!

Bad day?? My dear sistah Deborah.. I don't know where Les Miles' head is?? Lee 'scored' more for the Crim*** guys!!
Sorry... LK... nice of sistah Cindy to do that board for you. I might need your socks to wipe me tears :**********((

Sending bag of rags for your tears dear Sistah!!

Socks are on my feet, and staying there, till I have to wash them. Cindy, do you wash them by hand?
LK

Linda Kay! Girl friend my sistah! Love at all the love Cindy sent you. Such a wonderfully thoughtful sistah she is! Oh Cindy sistah you are such a sweetheart! And Linda, did you see her pie! Not everyone can make merique. She a baker too!!!!

My mom made the slipper socks, I love wearing them in the winter.

Here's your pie, enjoy.


LK, my pleasure. It was fun making it. So let's play a little game.Those of you that sent LK socks see if you can pick out your shrinkie.......winners will get a Christmas candle

Jaye, you'll only down one touchdown. All is not lost. He'ss got a good team behind him.

Oh, wow... LK... what a really unique way to display your socks... and such really wonderful socks you got too... they look all snuggly and warm...
Nice job, Cindy... I can see LK with that big ole' grin on her face now.

I'm cutting mitered corners... now, there is a trick to this, and I'll probably figure it out about the time I finish cutting... but, it ain't easy to be me right now.
