Another WOW!

I had 7 days of 4 grandkids in the last 9 days  - 3 of those 24/7! so this was the last thing I've done. Do go over the Esther's blog for this week's WOW and see the fabulous flower blocks she and others have made for the Forget Me Not BOM that is coming to a close.


PS: The telephone repairman said it was a wonder we had any telephone and internet service from the mess that was in the junction box. He worked two hours on it - even put a new wire from the pole to the house.  I do believe my NET is faster - woo hoo!

Design Wall Monday 3/11/13

This has to be quick - I'm having phone line problems and it only lets me on for a couple of minutes when I catch it behaving.  Telephone lineman is coming tomorrow in the afternoon.  I still can't show you what's on my design wall as guild members read the post, so here's a photo of a quilt I fell in love with at a quilt show I attended in February and the accompanying info.

I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times and Lyn's BOMs Away site. Go check them out.

Stash Report 3/10/13

Very busy babysitting - two twelve hour days and then this weekend all four of them for three days -makes for very little quilting but lots of fun.  And for three days I was able to do a lot toward piecing my BOM quilt.  I used 1/4 yard to make handles for my tote and .61 yards toward the white outer border for all the 12 blocks plus 1 yard for inner sashing, 2/3 yards for first border and 2 yards for outer border - I have to cut the last border on the length.  Here are my numbers:

This week:  in 0.0 yds.; out   4.53 yds.
Stash YTD: in 3.0 yds., out 18.63 yds.
Donated this week: 0.0 yds; YTD: 8.09 yds

Net for 2013: out 15.63 yds.

Here are my two two-year-olds playing together in January.  Lily is 7 months older than Alan.  I'm linking over to Judy's Patchwork Times and Lyn's BOMs Away.  Check out all those links.

Another Flimsy

I'm making the Raincross Quilt Guild's Block of the Month into baby quilts each month instead of blocks for an eventual quilt. Why? ...
