August Block of the Month - posting for Danielle - it's early!

My stash is going up by 8 yds/month and I don't have time to use any of it. This could be the beginning of a very bad habit. I'm just going to have to call myself a fabric collector.

Just think of the fun you'll have when you get vacation time. g
I'm printing the paper piece templates for the August blocks now. I may get started on them today. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 "Debra" wrote in message ... : On Mon, 31 Jul 2006 20:23:54 -0700, "maryd" mardor@*net wrote: : : Isn't time always the problem? :-) I worked 18 days in the past 3 weeks so : today was spent catching up with housework and a little yardwork.

wrote: For some reason, it seemed like a good idea to make the applique blocks 6.5". My ultimate plan is to do all 3 blocks every month and use them all in one quilt. So I will put 4 applique blocks together to make 12.5" blocks, which would give me 24+3= 27 blocks. So I will make duplicates of some of them and produce 30 blocks. Set 5 X 6, should be a useful size! The sunflower is done, thought it best to just jump in and get it over with. Came out OK! Wasn't nearly as bad as I thought! The others will have to wait a bit, I'm machine quilting something and need to get it finished. Roberta in D Wow, you are doing all three of the blocks each month. I can't even get the time to sew the June applique ones. I had two ideas on how to use lime fabric on the ladybug block so I cut out pieces for both ideas. The pieces are all cut and ready, I just don't have the sewing time right now due to my new job. It'll get done eventually though.

I had a lovely stash a few years ago and when I moved from house to much smaller apartment, and from job to being unemployed, I sold most of it. (My bad.) I love scrappy quilts/projects in any color. I'd be happy to send a check or Paypal "donation" for anything you might part with. Thanks very much for asking. NancyB |

My first thought was that Walmart clearly doesn't pay enough if all she can
buy is 4 yards of fabric! Roberta in D "Judy" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... .... and, that's why there's NO such thing as "Fabriholics Anonymous" BEG ME-Judy "Debra" wrote in message ...

I'm a little afraid of what would happen if I bought all the fabo fabric I could. This job might not last anyway. I've been out of work due to sickness three times already. Right now I can't work because I'm too dizzy to walk across the floor and I'm feverish and nauseated too. I've lost 4 pounds in the last three days because I can't eat.
