This month's block is another simple one! Who will be the first twelve to get them done???

Margo,
Would love to be one of the first 12 - My printer has decided it has a mind of it's own. It is now printing in a foreign language which I don't understand. :? But I do have the pattern part and it is OK - so plan to get started tonight.
There are a lot of speedy girls out there but even if not in the top 12 - I will love working on it.

I wish I hadn't posted that.....
ops:
I've said before that this really isn't a contest.....
I just hope everyone is enjoying working on their blocks and stays motivated to get them together early next year!

Margo, this is a block that we really need incentive to get done on time. I ignored the earlier conversation about the October block, but I just looked at it and wow!. Wonder if there is any way we could get that one early, because it is going to take a loooong while to make!
I have my stars glued onto the background and will start it tonight.

I did the berries early for the October block. That should speed things up!

I think that anyone who wants to get a jump on the October block can do like Linda and get the berries ready. It looks like there are 47 large berries and 14 small ones. I don't think the center of the heart-shaped flowers are berries, but having 61 done will help! There is also a background star on the October block. If you go to the photo of Sue's entire quilt and click on it, you will get a larger version to see what parts of the star will be showing. I'll probably just go ahead and applique all of the star parts.
But....first things first....today is only the first day of September! Let's get some of these blocks posted!!

That's a good tip, Margo. When this block is finished, making at least the circles would get things started for next month.

I am NOT going to stress here. I've decided to not even print the September block until August is done. I only have the hand embroidery and french knots (or beads) to finish which I will do next weekend at a mini quilt retreat with friends. Until then, I will enjoy viewing all the finished blocks of the over-achievers.....I say that with a <giggle>.

Margo not to worry - a little boost never hurt anybody. :lol:
I thought maybe Bridget might see my printer problem and respond - even though this is not a printer forum. :wink:
FYI -- PRINTER PROBLEM RESOLVED !!!!!!!!! :shock:
Now on to big and better things - like auditioning fabric!

I just printed the pattern and will wait until tomorrow, when lighting is better, to pick my fabrics. This does look like a pretty easy one. I'm hoping to find something great for the center of the vase this time

You all crack me up! I just looked in Duffy's gallery of pictures - have you seen her "when Ricky Tims meets Laura Wasilowski" quilt? It's really pretty but it's also REALLY funny! And then I glanced at the forum and I just had to laugh - you all are worrying about this and that, and yet the results I keep seeing are soooo wonderful! Quilters are such a fun bunch, right?!
I hope to meet as many of you as I can at the Houston quilt show -- I'll be in the TQS booth giving my feet a rest every once in a while, and I plan on doing a simple applique demonstration while there. I just confirmed with Lilo: my Bouquet quilt will be hanging in the TQS booth. And guess what? The TQS Quilt Shoppe will have a booth, too... and the NEW block of the month will be hanging in their booth! The Shoppe is busy packing up fabric kits that contain fabrics identical to those that I used in the upcoming quilt. No sneak peaks are available yet... so get busy and finish your Bouquets - January will be here before you know it! Woo hoo!

Sue, you are such a tease! I wish I could get to Houston and meet up with all my cyber friends :cry: . But alas, I must stay put and work, so that I can pay for my new Janome 11000. It hasn't come in yet, and I am actually saying prayers that UPS has safe trips so that it will come in today :shock: !
Love this month's block! The vase fabric choice is the hardest thing for me!

Makes me wish even more that I could go to Houston. I have printed the September block but haven't started it yet. I also received the Lilly Rosenberry pattern Saturday. I believe the pattern said it had 1,004 circles. I'll have to pace myself.Comment

That's funny, Sandy! At least you will have a very portable project for a while!! You can baste those circles anywhere!Originally posted by sandytn
