There you go !

Thanks, my friend!

And I still said WOW, when I saw it this second time...awesome. It should bring good bucks in the auction!

[JulieKay]

Yea, I hope so. I think it turned out pretty !

[QueenOfCrochet]

The village ghan is b-e-a-utiful. :cheer

[Skysmom]

Good Morning, ladies. I'll be gone a lot today, but will be checking in! Hope to have some crochet time later.

 

Have a great day.

[JulieKay]

Morning Mary ! Hope you have a nice day today .

I love the village ghan. Im going to bid on that one.

[JulieKay]

Thanks Wendy

It did turn out really pretty, didn't it ?

[Aussie]

Yes it did. You should all be proud to have put it together.

[JulieKay]

It took a lot of people to make it turn out that nice ,so I will only take a small part of the credit.

I put the list in the package of all who helped with it, so I hope Amy posts that when she gets it. I just mailed it to her this morning .

Morning, everybody. The village ghan is Gorgeous!! You and all your helpers did a fantastic job, Julie. :cheer Once I really wake up I'll be working on my train. What WIP project are you focusing on today, Julie? Hehehe!

[JulieKay]

Linda-thanks but you are just as equally a part in it as me or anyone else .

 

and funny you should ask about what project I am working on this week.....

 

Hmmm..... I THINK it might be the Woven Blocks. I figure if I can put in about 342 HOURS, it should be finished .

 

Hope you all don't mind ARNOLD as much as I do .........

My Penguin cuddle is all together and ready for the border

Julie~He doesn't bother me at all. :lol :lol

Way to go Heather!!!

[QueenOfCrochet]

Congrats Heather! :cheer :cheer

[thropots]

Patty your Casa is so pretty . You sure are speedier than I am !!!

 

Thanks. Short deadlines improve speed. If I was making this for myself, it would probably take me a year. But when it needs to be done for a wedding present, there is a greater push to meet the deadline. I spent a lot more of my free time crocheting than I normally do, just so I could finish it before the wedding (the wedding is 07.07.07 & we fly out for it on the 4th).

[thropots]

Thanks for all the compliments everyone. It's been a challenge to get this done before we leave for the wedding (the wedding is 07.07.07, we leave the 4th). I hope my sister-in-law and her husband like it as much as everyone here does.

 

I couldn't handle the though of making over 1,000 squares.

 

It was easier if I didn't think of the total number of squares. I usually worked in smaller sections in stead of rows, and would do 4 - 16 squares (sometimes more but not often) and then sew them together.

 

This picture sorta shows how I was working on it.

[Mel2nsluvsCrochet]

Ok ok, so I am a bit of a slacker lately with this CAL.....I just everything out of my house and back at mom and dad's and we found...I kid you not FOUND my gingham baby quilt afghan that I started for this CAL. I volunteered my mother to stitch the squares together for me while I work on my other endless WIPS/CALs. I am too embarrassed to put on my signature all the CALs I joined but slowed down a bit with them......ay chichuahua!

 

And now that I figured out how to work my new camera...I will get pictures up here for the Friday show and tell....yay for me...haha.

[JulieKay]

Mel

I'm glad to see you back and that you are moved and settled in again . That is nice of your mom to put your squares together for you .

 

We'll be watching for Photos Friday if you get the chance .

[JulieKay]

Heather

Congrats on ALMOST having your afghan done ! Good for you !

 

 

and Tab-- or should I say Dolly ..... no wonder Arnold doesn't bother you !

I think Dolly likes just about all guys .

[Krystal16]

Just checking in to see what your progress is, Julie?

 

Y'know... I was wondering if you could estimate what percentage you are done with the WIP (woven blocks) that you're trying to finish for my challenge? I have a very good reason, and hope you can oblige me with a number.

 

[JulieKay]

Alright Krystal

 

I'll fall for this. I have no idea what you are up to, but I will play along .

 

I HAD one block totally done. I NOW HAVE squares enough made to make block 2. I will try to get that one put together before I go to bed tonite .

 

10 more to go.........................GEEZ .........................

[Krystal16]

OK, so I figure you've got 12 squares to make, plus horizontal joins (3 rows) and vertical joins (2 rows), plus a border... so that is 16 parts. You've got nearly two parts done, so that puts you at about..... 12 percent

 

Check out the avatar....

 

you'll notice that 12% of your nemesis is replaced...
