I have been wanting to do one of these quilts for a year now.

Is there a time frame as to when you need to start and have it finished?

Please let me know so I can see if I can get this worked in.

 

I'm in trouble if there is Which one are you planning on doing?

Laura Lee ~ Hi again! Oh, we can't wait to see your Casa. And congratulations on the upcoming arrival.

 

Tabby ~ Wow! You really have had too much winter already. We're having freezing rain and thunder today - thank goodness I didn't have to go anywhere. I hope you've had some crochet time.

 

Linda ~ It does feel good to get back to a routine after the Holidays. WTG on your very own snowflake design!

 

Hi Val.

 

I'm not even close to being caught up around here, but am going to crochet this afternoon. I think there are 6 more rows to do on the IC border.

[Misa]

DH left this a.m. for the week. I sure do love him, but he's been home for three weeks and I'm looking forward to not cooking and having more time to crochet.

 

I hear ya on that! BD went back to work this morning after 2 weeks off. Love him to death but I just don't get anything done except goofing off when he's home

 

Hi Mary. We did have a good Christmas. How was yours? We have just been spending our time trying to stay warm. We've already had 2 power outages lasting longer then 30 hours each. It's going to be a long winter.

 

Have a great day!!

 

Oh dear. Power outages in the winter are not fun. We went through that in NY too. Seems to be a "normal" occurance in some areas. Stay warm

Nope, just jump right in and travel at your own pace! Welcome to the group

Laura Lee - Glad to see you So, when's the new grandbaby due to arrive?

 

Linda - Sounds like several of us have been sidetracked with the man of house around

 

Very cold, rainy and dreary around here today. Just my kinda weather I have all the blocks for the GT sewn together into two halves. Today I'll sew the two halves together and start on the border. Hopefully, I'll be done before bedtime tomorrow

Melody - just so you aren't worried... some of us aren't even traveling at a snail's pace - we've moved off onto the side of the course!

[tracysthings]

Yup, it's called the cheering squad without pompoms, she waves a around instead. (Krystal, we love you for it anyway )

Oh, Cara, you have given us so much by sharing your lovely patterns with us and encouraging us. I've learned so very much from you about crocheting and creating patterns with saltines. Thank you!

[Krystal16]

mwaaaaahhhhh - aaaarargggh!!!!

 

Cara's getting all sloppy mushY! Good thing it will be another 2 years before she hits 20, 000!

Thank you, Cara. I know many of us feel the same way.

 

Man, it's taking me forever to go around this ghan with the border rows. I've never been a super fast crocheter, and may have gotten ever slower.

 

We have ice on the trees and bushes, but it should be gone by noon tomorrow. My neighbor said there was some ice on bridges when she came home from work. Scary! Back to the border.

[cropper127]

Wow.. I haven't been here very long. and I have yet to finish a blanket. But I love to come here daily and read all the posts!! It puts a smile:D on my face. I keep having other project that keep coming up so I haven't gotten back to my saltines. Maybe by February..??

I really enjoy everyone here!!

Oh Krystal do you need a huggie wuggie too. I bet you will beat Cara to the 20000th post.

 

Oh my, Wendy has corrupted Priszm now.

 

Who me. surely not

 

Good Morning ladies.

 

Howdy doody Tabby.

 

I've only got 4 going on right now Two Irish Chains, the baby rings mile a minute, an H bag for the contest and a Prairie Star. Hey, that makes 5 doesn't it? Guess I can't count

 

Are you sure you only have 5, your supposed to have 10. I guess your going to have to find some more wips, do you need help with that.

[Aussie]

Oh dont you just hate doing the borders. It took me a few days to do the GT tablecloth border. Ice on the trees would make a good picture. I wouldnt want to drive on the icey roads though . Hope your neighbor or anyone else there is safe while on the roads.

[tracysthings]

Ice? Did someone mention ICE? Woke up and our fishpond is FROZEN! The only section not frozen is where the water flows in from the pumps. I have taken some photos, will upload soon. According to the radio this morning it was -6*C overnight.

 

I have taken a photo of the ATW, just before the batteries went flat. Will show that too.

[tracysthings]

Morning all. Here is a picture of the finished ATW, version 2. It is nice and warm.

[sewnsew]

Tracy I really like how you ATW turned out.

 

I think I have all the garden saltines made. I have about a row and a half left to sew together and then it will be time to do the border.

[Aussie]

Tracy it looks fantastic. well done.

 

Donna your nearly there.

Uh, that's soon to be 6 I decided I wanted to make ME a shawl for our cruise in 2 weeks. I tend to be a freeze baby and I like the idea of a shawl. I've been eyeing the Angelika pattern, then I found one I like better, this one. I dragged DBF to Michael's last night (I really needed another 2 skeins for my H bag for the Vanna's contest!) and picked up in Vanna's Silver and Colonial (pretty sure it's that one) blue. I got those planning on doing the Angelika. Now I'm debating doing these for the Bead Shawl. I'm thinking the Silver Blue for the body and something different for the edge in the Colonial Blue. I saw it on Ravelry and someone did it in a kinda rainbow fuzzy yarn and it was so pretty. I'm planning on a quick dash to Joann's for the beads today, so I need to hurry up and decide

[Krystal16]

Tracy - you ATW version is very nice!

 

Let's see...we have....

 

Wendy the Enabler

Cara the Creator

Me, the Enforcer

Linda the Caregiver

Tabby the Icemaker

 

Anybody else wanna choose a "clan name"

[Priszm]

Tracy, that looks fabulous! And so warm!

More power to you, Priszm. The beaded one is lovely, but not something I could whip up on short notice. Go girl.

Happy Tuesday, everyone.

 

Tracy, your ATW is beautiful! I really like the colors you chose.

 

Hi Michele!

 

Val, the shawl colors sound lovely. And only 2 weeks til the cruise - I bet you are both really excited.

 

The ice is completely gone! The wind changed during the night and it actually warmed up a bit. Fine with me because I have several errands to take care of.

 

Hi to those I've missed, too.

[tracysthings]

Thank you, ladies.

 

Hope you are all having a good day.

[jessicagil]

Beautiful ATW Tracy!
