[Lynette B]

Many thanks Barbara I'm home with a bad cold , instead of watching the TV I am sewing or ing hate having to stay indoors as soon as that night air hits
I am down and out for the rest of the day
Kept up with the beautiful work you are doing too, lots of time to catch up take care

[Barbara Sr]

Hi Lynette,

I hoped you would have been feeling better by now, my dear friend

However, it is rest you need and having free time to quilt is a nice bonus, isn't it

Yes, I keep up with and enjoy following everyone's work, but don't always get to reply to each individual, as much as I try to do so

Keep up the great work Lynette and all our IFQ Friends

It is time to celebrate. I finally got to start on my center square last night. I am excited to get started but when I think about it all of the other projects I have started and piled up come to mind like a horrible nightmare. lol
All is well and I can't wait to get a start!
hugs and love

Hi Kenna,

Just hang in there and enjoy the process, you still have time to complete this project. We are all at different stages of this project, too.

Miss Kenna Dee That is absolutley blooming beautiful

My June block is finished still in joying this BOM

[Kenna C]

Dear Ms. Terry Pearce, I absolutely love the greens you are using. It is nice and energetic but relaxing at the same time. What a great combination you have chosen.
I spent some time this morning cutting out my blocks for Feb, Mar, and April. When I get home tonight or maybe in the morning I will finish cutting out May and June, then next week I can begin to sew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone has finally left for the summer. My hubby, daughter and son spend the summers at Boy Scout Camps working on staff. I get to have some valuable ME time! love it
Have a great summer everyone!
Love and hugs,
Kenna

Thank you Kenna - it took me ages to decide on the colours. It sounds like you will quickly catch up with the BOMs with all that time to yourself! I look forward to seeing the lovely colours you use.

[Kenna C]

Celebrate, I am caught up!!!!!!!!!!! Last night I finished appliqueing my January block, I used a blanket stitch on everything but the small circles and like the way it turned out. I told you all that I would work on it when my hubby was at scout camp, by looking in the photo gallery you will see that I am caught up. It has been a productive summer for my sewing. I have also sewn two twin size quilt tops for my church's humanitarian center, and worked on a few other things. I hope you like my blocks but if you don't, it's okay, I sure do! love ya all

I finally managed to catch up, only got the July block to do. Been so busy lately at work, get home tired. So I did not do a lot of sewing these last 2 months.

I'm coping well with the Diabetes so far, try to stay positive all the time. Thank you for your support Barbara, I missed you my friend.

Love you all.

Joey.

[Barbara Sr]

Hi Joey,

You are so sweet and I've missed our conversations, as well. However, you are not far from my thoughts.
I'll keep you in my prayers and hope you will feel better very soon.

Thank you for your kind comments, and I look forward to viewing more of your lovely handwork and quilting here at IFQ.
You are so talented, my dear friend.

I am soooooo behind with all my IFQ projects, not entirely from laziness, our guild has been very busy this year and that has consumed a lot of my time, and we had one of the coldest winters in years which drove me under the duvet more often then not.
I am trying to dedicate September to "UFO month", hopefully other things don't get in the way and knock me off course again. I am enjoying doing these little blocks, one really has to concentrate on the accuracy of cutting which I did not do with August block so now have to do it over.

Hi Anne,

I'm with you, behind in everything due to household remodeling projects taking a lot of time and some traveling, too.

So you have a good friend working right along side you, however, I know you are ahead of me on many of these projects we have signed up for.

Loved your Sew and Share projects - great job - will have to dicuss later. Gotta run.
