This & that and blog vacation


"Blessing Baskets"
Block #5
SAL at TQC
Block Size: 4 1/2" unfinished
Size: 16 1/4" Sq

Phew!


I just finished the top in this morning.

It was another rough ride with
the triangle syndrome I called,
but I was so happy to see that
every block got fitted in where
they should be properly (I think?).

And the most amazing thing is the fact
I didn't need to have them floated
over the setting/corner triangles
as planned :D

Yay!!


Fabric: 40ct Vtg. Examplar
 by Lakeside Linens
Fibers: GA
SAL with Janet & Deb

It was Sampler Sunday @LNS on last Sunday.

It's so nice to see everyone once a month
after all the crazy busy days/weeks.


Here is a snap shot of all three of ours 
at Sampler Sunday.

Our goal for this month is
to stitch the first band where 
you see the trees ;)


BTW, I've been on the extremely fast wheel
 lately at work and home as well.
I apologize not being a very good friend
over the blogland.

I'm slowly replying back to all the emails/
comments -I always enjoy hearing from you!!,
 I've received in the past a couple of weeks,
but not quite catching up fast enough.

I will eventually get to "yours" if you haven't
heard from me yet.

So sorry!!


In the meantime,
I will take a blog vacation for now.
No ETA of when I'll be back as of yet,
maybe a month or two?

Right now, I'm all excited about
 having my best friend whom went to college 
together in Tokyo visiting our place
 in a few days :D

Hope you all enjoy this gorgeous spring weather
and see you again soon!!

  18. The basket quilt is so pretty and soft looking - great job and your sampler is coming along nicely - makes my eyes hurt thinking about that teeny tiny stitching. I will miss your post while you take a break, but understand. Enjoy your time with your friend - sounds wonderful. Give Ms. Limo a "sniff" from Cami :)

    Hugs - Karen
