Rachel~I attach the sqaures together as I go, then I attach them to the ghan half way through and then I do the other half and attach those. I did a whole row the first row & really wanted to kick myself for it.

Morning everyone,

 

Rachel I have found that if you leave enough thread at the end of the square its enough to whipstitch to the row and to the ghan all at once. I have been doing it this way and found its much easier and you use less thread. So I guess you can say Im adding a square at a time.

 

How is everyone going.

 

Im trying to finish my first rail fence block for friday but Im only on to row 6 out of 12.

Howdy there Pardners:cowboy

Just an update on me-- I have been working steadily as I can on my woven blocks. I hate to even inform you all that I have yet again changed horses midstream . I have changed horses so many times, the horses all climbed out of the stream and are standing on the bank wondering what move I'll make next .

Anyhow, I AM working on mine ,it's not real far done yet but I have the top row complete and together as of now .

 

Anyhow, just thought I'd let you all know I am still plodding along at my own pace.

 

My horses deserted me, Tabby is threatening to pull out her slingshot and let 'er rip, so I am crocheting with my head down so one of those rocks doesn't knock me for a loop .

Morning Ladies

 

Im spending the day working on my cassa...ive got six rows taken apart,weaved in the ends and whipped back together Im hoping to have it put back together by photo Friday...My middle finger is going numb from the needle But its looking tons better.

 

Have a great day everyone!!

 

ETA-Maggie you're quilt is looking great...i love the colors.

 

 

Shaylen ~ So sorry you've had to take some apart, but I know you'll be happier when it's finished!

Evening everyone. I finally finished another row on my country heart afghan. Have been working on squares so it will go a little faster. I probably have about twenty five squares complete. It takes 22 to make one row.

Hi, all. I got a fourth of the next block whipstitched together today. Kim and I went outside and sat in our glider and read for about an hour and a half this afternoon. Temp was in the mid 70's. Really nice. When we came in, Trouble brought in a stick and left bits of bark all over the house. :dog Sigh!!!!! I got the biggest bits picked up, but will have to vacuum up the rest. She really lives up to her name some days. John's softball team won one of their games tonight and lost the other by only one run.

Pam ~ Great! I love the Country Hearts... show us pictures when you can!

 

Wendy ~ How are all of your ghans coming along? We know you have so many to work on!

 

Julie ~ So glad you're crocheting again.

[Skysmom]

Linda T. ~ Wow! You are really making progress. Our weather has been warm, but windy and very light rain. That's okay, because if it was better, yardwork would cut into my crochet time!

[JulieKay]

Lindabee-

Sounds like you are making steady progress ! You amaze me that you get so much done -- your life seems very busy . You must use your time much more wisely than I do . I don't know what I do with all my time.....

 

Pam- I have been wanting to see the one you are working on ,so this will be exciting to see a photo once you get some of it together .

 

Shay- well, I just asked her to HOLD the bat --- now try to take it away from her . I don't think anyone here has enough power to take her down and wrestle her for it. She's only half my age, so she would beat me in a wrestling match. Maybe some of you others out there are tough enough to give her a sneak attack --- come up from beind her and yank it out of her hands before she sees you. That's our only hope .

Hi Julie your up early or late whichever.

 

Hows it going with you.

Morning everyone,

 

Rachel I have found that if you leave enough thread at the end of the square its enough to whipstitch to the row and to the ghan all at once. I have been doing it this way and found its much easier and you use less thread.

That's a great reminder, Wendy. I wish I'd know all this when I made those bazillion squares for my cat quilt (not even close to being done).

[JulieKay]

Hi Wendy

Yep, I'm usually awake by 5 if not sooner . I don't always check in here that early, but I'm up moving around by then .

I am almost done with my second row on my Woven blocks, so that is exciting for me to have that much done . I won't get much done today. Cam will be here later this morning and the rest of the day and evening . His mom has to work late tonite, so I will have him til 8 .

We may get to go outside for awhile today if the weather cooperates. It will be around 50 something today I think, but it may rain, I'm not sure .

Anyhow, we'll get out for a little while if we can . He loves riding his bike and his jeep and taking wagon-rides .

[judianne]

Julie, kids (esp little boys) are like puppies with their energy level! One good thing, they keep us "older ladies" moving!

Take your vitamins!

Little ones are so precious...

Morning, everyone. Just jumped on for a few minutes before going upstairs to be with Kim. Hope everyone has a good day. Keep those hooks flying. I think that I'll be doing more whipstitching today, although I'm not sure on which project. I have way too many WIPs it seems some days. Not too many permanent UFOs though.

Julie - I feel like I lead a quiet life with Kim most days. I can stay more peaceful if my fingers stay busy though. Enjoy your day with Cam and give him a hug for me.

[Skysmom]

Good Morning, Ladies! Just 5 more squares and 2 rows to connect on my first Ohio Star Variant block. I'm on my way to an appointment, but SURELY I can finish by this evening.

 

Everyone have a great day.

Mary--

 

Impressive! Good luck. I want to see a finshed product for tomorrow's unveiling!

[QueenOfCrochet]

Maybe some of you others out there are tough enough to give her a sneak attack --- come up from beind her and yank it out of her hands before she sees you. That's our only hope .

 

 

I'de like to see ya try.

[chickpea67]

Tabby--I seem to remember some people *asking* to be kept on track! NOw they're talking about sneak attacks!

[QueenOfCrochet]

I hear ya Rachel, some people are just so hard to please.

[Aussie]

Morning

 

Julie have fun with Cam today. Glad to see you have some of your block done. Will we see a pic.

 

Mary well done, cant wait to see it.

 

Im still whipstitching, its taking forever and ever.

[Skysmom]

Hi, Wendy. I'm always thinking things will take less time than they do! I've never been "speedy" with my crocheting or other needlework, so it's good there is no deadline on anything for a while!

[q8_crochet]

wendy

any photos this week??

its more than 8 am in your country so its friday:)

[Skysmom]

Okay Ladies...it's way too quiet. I can only assume that you are all getting ready for Photo Friday! My first block is finished, but DH takes our only digital camera when he travels and he'll be home tonight. My eyes need a break, so I'm not crocheting tonight, but will be back with my hook tomorrow! Have a good evening.
