Afternoon Ladies!!!!!!

 

Welcome Melissa!!!

I getting ready to start another one to...they are additive.

[Skysmom]

I was able to get the canvas storage containers at Walmart and was trying to figure out how to label or identify them since they'll be on shelves. I went to the paint dept. and got several primary color paint chips which fit in the little plastic windows perfectly! Yay...I'm not usually that creative.

 

Here is my first Dragonfly square. I'll try to have some quilt ghan pictures by Friday.

Mary~That is absolutely beautiful! I love it, so pretty & springy.

[Shaylen]

Mary

That is so pretty....what is that pattern out of??

[nici]

OK so now I think I have the hang of this after several hundred attempts. Wow those little squares are small,but now at least they don't look like they are road kill.

[Aussie]

Melissa have fun getting your yarn and let us know which pattern you decide in the end.

 

Mary that looks fantastic, colors are great. Must do that pattern one day.

 

Tabby Im still staring at my yarn trying to figure out what colors to use for the Spinning Wheels. I have my colors for the Beckys Blocks though. Marone, Bright yellow and a autumy varigated yarn which sort of has yellow orangey red. hmm hard to explain.

[Skysmom]

Thank you, Ladies. The pattern is in a LA Leaflet called Dragonflies, Butterflies, and More by Sandy Rideout.

 

Wendy, your colors sound gorgeous for Becky's Blocks.

 

Nici ~ Before long, you'll pick up speed making the squares. It took me a while, and now I love making them.

[Misa]

Mary - Wow! I love that dragonfly pattern. Might have to try that some day Great job!

 

Nici - Road kill :rofl Yep, like Mary said, you get to where you can do them in your sleep....literally!

 

Wendy - Ooooh I'm quite interested to see how your BB will come out with those colors I'm considering doing another in greens just for the heck of it

 

I didn't get anything done all day :grump Slept most of the day Think I'm still not completely well yet Do feel better now but I tell you what, I could go back to bed right now

[busy-bee-lmt]

Gonna try this again. I finished crocheting my 3SURR last night. I still have to weave in all the tails but it's done. 33 rows and umpteen skeins and partial skeins of yarn later it's the biggest of my RRs yet and probably to only 3 strand I'll make. But it's big and it's warm. It is hanging down on both sides and the end of John and Kim's queen sized bed. I'm pleased with it. :bow:bow

[Misa]

I already said it in the ME CAL but Linda that RR is amazing!! You are the only one I know that can reach in a bag of scraps and come out with a masterpiece

[Aussie]

Linda that is just amazing. :clapMakes me what to get my scraps out now and make one.

 

Cara is the becky blocks pattern easy to do.

[Skysmom]

Oh Cara, I have two other friends who have the "crud" (is that how you spell that?) and can't shake it...I hope it goes away soon.

I wish we were closer - I'd come and steal it and use it right now! It's beautiful.

[busy-bee-lmt]

:rofl

Now, now, now, Mary. No stealing allowed.

[Misa]

Linda that is just amazing. :clapMakes me what to get my scraps out now and make one.

 

Cara is the becky blocks pattern easy to do.

 

Yep, very easy Just the same thing over and over in a block (x16) when stitch 'em together and slap a border on it. Took me about 3 days to do it but that was the only thing I worked on because it was a Christmas gift and I needed to get it done.

[Skysmom]

Going to bed early. Maggie is okay, but she got me up at 4:30 this a.m. and she has bloodwork again in the morning.

See you all tomorrow.

[Aussie]

Night Mary, hope Maggie is ok.

 

Cara I cant wait to start the BB, hope the colors look as good crocheted as they do sitting together on the table.

[Misa]

G'night Mary Give ol' Maggie a hug for us too....no phone getting blood drawn

 

Wendy - I think you'll like it. It's really just the sedge stitch which is one of my favorites. Lots of shadow play in it

[Aussie]

Cara, Im going to start it this weekend or I might look at it tomorrow after I take the girls school supply shopping. Im still comtemplating as to what colors to make the spinning wheels in.

[JulieKay]

Mary- love the first square for your dragonfly pattern-- you do such NEAT work. Perfect stitches ! And I really like the colors - what is the blue you are using ?

 

Linda the newest RR is so pretty ! Love the browns and blues shaded into it .

 

Nici- I've been in the ville for a long time now. first time I've heard anyone's project described as road kill, but that's about where some of mine ended up-- as road kill.( The ones started and never finished )

[Aussie]

Hey everyone, I have started the Beckys Blocks quilt and have nearly finished the first block. Its quite an easy pattern to do. Im just hoping I have enough yarn.

[Misa]

Good morning ladies

 

Wendy - Yep, the BB is pretty easy but that stitch takes a bit of yarn. Each block used almost one whole ball (3.5 oz) of the Vanna's Choice.

 

I think I might, just might, be finally kicking this cold or whatever it is Hardly coughing at all this morning and it's nothing compared to what it was. Maybe I'll actually get something done today. Haven't gotten hardly a thing done for two days now. I'm hoping by Saturday I'm right as rain again
