Finished! It did take me longer than Ricky. I love it.
I cut too many border strips and wish I had that fabric in...

Here is Ami's design:Originally posted by Quilty204

While (whilst, for those of you who speak kings English) I was vacuuming today, I had a couple of other ideas for the spools. If cut almost circular or oblong, they can be little jelly jars. You just need to add a cute cap/lid. Put a wick and flame on them (circular or straight, doesn't matter) and they can be candles. Remember the ones with the layers that have a different scent as each layer burns? This is how my mind works while doing the mundane task of housework! Quality thinking time! :lol:

That made me think of this:Originally posted by lorraI have been thinking of ways to use my reels. A few years ago my DH's puppy got into my sewing room and attacked my thread rack.
:x Of course I should not have left it leaning against the wall, but I was picking out embroidery colors and had only left it for a few minutes.
ops: So I was thinking of putting the reels on in every direction. And maybe a little appliqued beagle puppy looking ashamed. I will have to see if I can draw a pattern for the puppy. I really liked Rosemary's design and it sounds so much easier. I don't know what I will do, but I have plenty of time to think about it. Half the fun is anticipating the reels arrival and planning the quilt.

I'm really liking the idea of a cookbook. If Rosemary can scan all the reels and let me know who made each one, then you can send me the recipes and I can match them with your reel. Is that too much work for you Rosemary? Right now this is a maybe until I can look more at the site that was posted earlier.Comment

About those recipes....are we sending recipes that reflect our block's foodie name, or just a favorite recipe?
This could REALLY blow some diets! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Only if you try to eat all of the recipes at once :POriginally posted by Margo
I would think that it would make more sense to try and have the recipe relate to the reel, (how many recipes are there for Tequila Sunrise anyway?) But we would possibly need to be a bit careful about some of them in case of copyright issues. Remember how Ricky wasn't able to do us a recording of 'Sorting Queen' because of copyright.

The Blurb website is really good & easy to use, I am in the process of sorting out a book using it. What I particularly like about it is that it is a print on demand method. I first became aware of PoD books, because of Gregory Casein one of the 4 series programmes. He used Lulu, but with Blurb you get page templates & you just add the pictures & waffle to preset layouts, & you can keep changing it very easily - as Isabeau would say it is 'pips' to use. Once scanned, I would probably put all the pictures onto a disk to send to who-ever takes up the baton (& hope their machine can read it :evil: )Originally posted by Franceslovesfabric
Will we be adding our avatar photos as well?

Anybody who volunteers to do this is wonderful. Rosemary, I had a look at that website and could not make head nor tale of it. Sorry my brain just doesn't work in that way. (If it was a musical venture that would be easy peasy.) I am more than happy to send a receipe for Spinach Soup (and it's really good) and the best brown bread ever (Irish Soda Bread to those of you not in Ireland - which seems to be everybody except me :lol: ). And my receipes are good and healthy to balance out some of the puddings/desserts. The big question is would one contribute two receipes if one has two sets of reels in the pot (forgive the pun!)? I can't think of another green receipe unless it is some kind of a tossed mixed leaves salad?
Love the 'Gotcha Day' - what lucky children! Hope you had a good one 'tbrown'.

Does this mean you're volunteering to do the book or just collect the recipes? I'm not sure that I will come up with any recipes for my blocks. You could just include a picture of cotton candy and a jar of olives.Originally posted by Franceslovesfabric

And my reels are turquoise!! I couldn't really come up with a food, per se. The closest was saying they were the color of those blue raspberry icy summer treats the kids love. You know, crushed, slushed ice with syrup with turquoise food coloring on it. Pure sugar but so refreshing! LOL
Does any one else have an idea for a real food that is turquoise??Comment

My other 2 came home in April (different years), also from Guatemala so we get to do it 2 more times this year. Right now one of them is complaining that she will have to wait until April for hers. Also she told all her class mates last year and they all wanted a Gotcha Day and thought it unfair that they didn't get one.

In Hawaii they call it Shave Ice. Just Google Hawaiian Shave Ice, and I'm sure you can come up with a wonderful exotic name/flavor for it! Have fun!Originally posted by heartnsoulquilts

It was the best day ever when we got to hold our daughter for the first time and 4 years later we got to hold our boy. One was six months and the other was five months and look at them now growing up so fast. Mine also talked about gotch day at school and doing the family tree was very interesting with foster mums and us. I cant wait to go back to korea for a holiday.Originally posted by tbrown0307Originally posted by tanneswe also have a gotch day in june and august my darling children came home from korea.
