PARTS of the BIG quilt 2008

here they are--all the block parts of the big quilt in Thimbleberries club...the biggest block - center left--is for one of the quarterly projects! The block in the center of the pics is the very center of the big quilt! it is also in the bottom picture by itself. It was just completed.
now it is time to assemble all the blocks with all the sashings and the borders! This portion is not 'due' till Dec 13 when we have our Xmas party....We will also get to spend all the bucks we have collected throughout the year!
I was at the quilt shop when the quilt kit for 09 came in! OH MY!!! and of course, it is in the traditional colorway. The gal that head's up the club will assemble it as we go along..That begins in Jan 09 and again, I am looking forward to that!
more soon!!!!

the usual stuff

this is what I will be using for the challenge in the local guild. you can see I have everything I need for the time being...I guess what remains will be what kind of stitching to do! I am in the process of binding two quilts, too!! I would swear to it that the log cabin quilt came back bigger!!
tomorrow I will be working all day :o)........I hope there will be block 8 before the holiday break begins!! Thimbleberries Party is in Dec---top should be done by then....have to assemble block 11 and assemble----in Jan it starts all over again! Looking forward to it already!!

JUDY'S BLOCK # 7

well, they say, better late than never! LOL--this went together much easier than I first thought--and this makes blocks over the 1/2 way point! we get a break over the holiday season (darn) --- not sure when it starts, but wanna make sure I am caught up with everyone else, for sure...

ELECTION DAY catch up

I HOPE YOU WENT TO VOTE!!!!!

Below are pics of some of the items I have been working on. previously, I worked 6 days a week at the quilt shop for 3 weeks and then last week only two and I could be found catching up on other things as well. Also, my daughter introduced me to a site that I can play games and such with friends and family around the world! THAT has been much fun and it is addicting! If I am not found posting on lists, I bet you can challenge me to word games and find me playing! Keeps my brain in tact thus far! LOL
the crocheted hat is for a friend in Idaho--Interesting colors that are more vibrant that what the pic shows...after a time, hubby refused to model it for me--guess he thought I was catch a pic of him in it! LOL---The TB strips are the makings of the french braid top for the quilt shop and the block is for the Oct TB club project....on Saturday we begin to assemble the top! OH BOY!!



Lizzie found a house and had an offer accepted and I am delighted. today I began helping them pack up! 5 kids is a HUGE move but this shoud be the last time for years to come....I wish them well and I get make lots of new things for the kids! and mom and dad of course....

going to see what poll results show and play with some hand applique and crochet
I will try not to be gone so long next time! (LOL-I do have another BOM to make already)
