Mary - another 33 solids for me.

 

And here is my scrap baby nine-block I think it turned out pretty nice. Next one will be in shades of medium and dark pink. It took less than a week to make it working on it mainly in the evenings. It was "only" 169 saltines tiny!!

 

 

Oh I like very much Gonna have to make a full size 9 patch soon

[hseger]

I've picked up my pinwheel quilt tonight and got a few saltines to report

 

6 solids and 6 bi-color Big whopping numbers I know.

P.S. I tried to use the "insert image" choice, but I don't get a pic. I get a little box with a red "x" in it.

Mary -- I read that you are working on the totals for the week, so I am probably too late with these. Sorry I was not more on-the-ball. When you get a chance, please add 65 solids for me. P.S. So glad that the new washing machine is working well for you. Yaay, for quiet!! And, I am looking forward to seeing your IC. 7 blocks really is enough to see the pattern, isn't it?!?

 

 

LOVE that 9-patch!! Thank you for sharing. I would never have come up with it on my own, but I can see making one of those for the local nursery, when I wrap up my IC and have extra yarn. Thank you for the visual.

 

6 solids and 6 bi-color Big whopping numbers I know.

Baby steps are good. You are making progress. Nice to see you, again.

 

Suzanne -- I like that little penguin cuddle quilt design. Yours is coming right along.

 

We are heading down to visit my parents for the weekend. My grandmother is closing up her house and heading to Hawaii for the winter (she and my grandfather have had an apt over there for the past 33 years, and I actually bought my own in the same building 10 years ago. Grandma spends 6 months in the tropics every winter, and I take the girls for 4-5 weeks annually. I can hardly wait until it is our time to depart;)). The girls and I want to spend the weekend visiting with her before we are separated for too long. Probably will not get a lot of crocheting done, but we'll see.

 

Have a good weekend, Everyone!!

[rii698]

Shoot, Mary. I was typing and missed you by a few minutes. Thank you for keeping track of our numbers for us!!

[Skysmom]

Hi Dusti~I'm still here. I'll edit and add your 65 now! Have a wonderful weekend with your family. That is so exciting about going to Hawaii with the girls...when do you usually go?

[rii698]

Thank you, Mary

 

I usually leave the second week of February and stay as long as I can Winter is NOT my favorite season. DH is very understanding, and encourages me to remember to buy my airline tickets as soon as the nights start getting cooler. Now that both girls are in school, I may have to shorten our stay, but even 3 weeks would be wonderful Up to this point, my daughter's teachers have been permitted us to go with nary a request to, "Drop the class a postcard now and then." They seem to buy my belief that children learn outside the 4 walls of a classroom, too As long as it is not too difficult on the children, I will try to get us over to Hawaii in the middle of the winter -- it gives me something to look forward to through the swirling snowflakes, as I gaze out my front window.

 

Whew! If I get started, I may never stop rambling I love escaping to Hawaii Soon!! (kind of)

[Misa]

Suzanne - Your penguin is looking great

 

Mary - Yes, we need photos of your IC

 

Dusti - Have a great time with the family Escaping from MN to HI in February sounds like very smart planning to me

 

Well, I'm on the hunt for electricians again Still haven't heard anything from the original outfit. I now have a list of four to choose from so I can be pickier That's the last estimate we need then off to the bank for the moolah

 

I finished the top of my IC. That's the end of the pattern blocks. To make it a bedspread I need to add lots of the cranberry squares to the side. I've been working on this thing so long I just want it done Well, talk shears no sheep so guess I'd better get to it

[Priszm]

Mary - Yes, we need photos of your IC

 

Look who's talking missy! Someonr promised an updated photo of hers recently

 

Here's a PSA for everyone...when going to the gym, especially the gym at work, please make sure you dress appropriately for your body. It's great when people want to work out to get healthier, or whatever their goals are, but I really don't need to be able to count the dimples in a person's legs/rear or be able to tell if the belly button is pierced or not

I thought I did put up a new photo last week Well, either way a new one is coming shortly

Amen sista!

[Misa]

Okay, photo time!

 

Here's the IC bedspread so far. It'll fit better once the Casablanca and the heavy comforter that's on top of it come off the bed. Nephew gets cold

 

 

And I was dabbling and came up with a table centerpiece thingy in Christmas colors. Wasn't sure if I liked this or not, but I think I do. Think I'll make one in Fall colors too Needs to be blocked but that's beside the point

It's gorgeous! Is it on a king or queen bed right now? I'm still debating between 5 and 7 as the longest row for mine.

[judianne]

So pretty, Cara!

It's a king size

[Priszm]

It's a king size

 

In that case, looks like I might want to make mine 5 wide. After the baby blanket Mom decided she needs to have before Oct 11th of course.

[Julie B in WA]

Cara, you are a saltine machine!

 

I'm three and a half blocks into my AGC- I love my girls! I need to remember how to post pics. It has been way too long since I've done that, and now my mommy brain has deleted that file...

Very nice!! I like the table thingy - I have been mulling over the idea of place mats in saltines - I like the look of this

 

And hubby asked me to make him a checker board for his little brother (not biological - he volunteers wioth Big Brothers/Big Sisters) for a Christmas gift. I will have to start thinking about that - and will make yo-yos for the checkers
