CW challenge for anyone. Guide on 1st post

[Nancy R.]

Almost all of my fabric is pre-washed...is that okay? I usually come home from a shopping trip and dump them into the washing machine.

BTW - can we cut from our yardage, and send same or similar more than one person?

i REALLY miss the personal info that used to be on the profiles :angry: , like what your favourite colours are, what kind of quilter you are, traditional, modern etc. I often used to refer to that info before making a mug rug. Now it's going to be hit and miss...

Who wants to make this a 'new topic"? Whose idea was it in the first place? :lol:

[Nancy R.]

I hope prewashed is okay since I do the same as you and if it's coming out of my stash, that's what you'll get. This was Rosemary's idea, as usual. I think she's our idea gal.

Guilty as charged :whistle:

Been trying to make useable quilted teacups, the first one leaked like a sieve, However no.2 shows extreme promise :woohoo:

Congratulations to your DIL Terrie. I will have to look that one up. Have fun grandma time and hope you can sneak in some quilting.

[Lois B.]

Terrie, I did look your DIL's Brown Eggs and Jam Jarsup on Amazon and read the blurb about her book. It sounds as if she is a very creative young woman and the book sounds very interesting to me. It promotes Urban Gardening and healthier eating/cooking. You should be very proud and happy those Grandies are getting such good nourishment. I must also say this news is especially good in that it indicates you are well enough to care for the little ones. I hope you aren't overdoing. Having the little ones around might also help your newly retired husband interesting diversion. Hoping he is helping you.

[Lois B.]

Thank you so much Lois. Yes to all the above. You are very thoughtful. DIL just sent me a link to a very short video that said that grandparents who babysit are less likely to get Alzheimer's or dementia. LOL. Hubby skis everyday, and I join him once in a while,(Xcountry) if it's above -10C.
I can knit while bbsitting, but not quilt.

[Lois B.]

Is the fat 1/4 swap on? Is there a deadline? Seems this topic just lost steam...

[wendy w.]

I'll sit this one out if that's ok.

[Beverly C.]

Remind me again when the Libby little quilt reveal is supposed to happen - is it March 1st or April 1st?

[Beverly C.]

Hi Beverly, I believe its Aprils fools day (April 1st)!
Barb :-)

My niece, mother of four, recently circulated that same video reguarding Alzheimers among all those in our extended family who are grandparents. My husband was quick to reply, "Less likely to get Alzheimer's and more likely to have heart attacks." :lol: :lol: :lol:

Reguarding fat 1/4 swap. I want to stay focus on finishing up stuff I am working on and have deadlines. Got to thinking it was going to take a bunch of time getting myself organized to get it done. Sorry.

[Lois B.]

That's funny, Lois.

I also feel the same about doing my 'other stuff and UFO's etc' before committing to another swap , although I do really like them very much. We all have good ideas. I tried the 'red & white' one, and now I think it was Rosemary who suggested the 1/4 swap. What if we swap something we loved at one time, and maybe still do, just haven't found its place yet?
I'll wait on the sidelines and see how it rolls.

[wendy w.]

I'd forgotten the date for Libby reveal, thanks Barb. I've got on with it but now have to wait 6 weeks+

I learn't how to block from you all and wow it makes so much difference to a distorted wavy piece. Thank you

[Maureen A.]

I'll sit this one out if that's ok.

I will sit this one out as well.
