Dobby - still growing!I started to draft a wonderful post for my 500th...decided it was way too, well too! So to simplify - thanks to all of you who follow my posts; big thanks to those who leave comments; huge thanks to all of you who post on your own blogs and make this such a great quilting community to be a part of. At the risk of sounding like one of those simpering acceptance speeches I'll stop there.
I did the random generator thingy (but blog is being a pain today and not pasting the link...) anyway, the winner of the "giveaway" is Debbie at #25. She does not write a blog of her own but does follow lots of quilting blogs. I have contacted her by email. She is getting some civil war fabrics for her Brackman block of the week project....
Speaking of the Brackman Civil War block of the week I finished this week's block - forget my initial comment about these blocks being quick! Little 1-inch finished HST's...lets say lots of coffee was consumed in the constructing of this block!
These are the 4 blocks from the project plus my Mulligan block. I a still have the 7 sisters applique block in-process. All and all I feel like I am keeping up. I do want to put a bit more green in the next few blocks and perhaps a bit of yellow.
This week I am going to make a dent in my Roll Roll Cotton Boll mystery quilt. I packed it up to take to retreat and have yet to unpack it and work on it at home again. I also want to get binding on one of the 5 (yes, five!) quilts that just need binding to be really and truly finished! A finish would feel good right about now, no?!
Congrats on 500 posts! I love reading them and seeing what you are working on. Love the civil war blocks and your RRCB!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 500th post! What a milestone that is...

ReplyDeleteMimi has discovered that if she lies in a dark corner, or sits on something black, like the Netbook cover, she can't be seen! She wants out!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on reaching 500 posts! I'm afraid to look at how many I have- too many I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteFinishes are always nice. I still have a few here from my quilting/binding marathon this month that i'll be working on binding in February. It would be ice to have them all done by the end of the month.
Congrats on 500 posts! Wow, that's quite an achievement.
ReplyDeleteDobby is just darling, especailly on that wonderful quilt. He looks a lot like my Shade kitty. And he looks to be growing fast.
Luv your RRCB block. It is such a fun quilt. I say that now that my top is finished. Just need to make a backing.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on #500
Oh My Gosh! I can't believe I was chosen! Thanks so much for the give away and I'm just squirming to see those fabrics, like a kid in a candy store! I just sent an email with my snail mail.
ReplyDeleteI hope you always find time to post what you are doing in the quilting world and the rest of your life. Your RRCB is going to be lovely. That little Dobby just makes me giggle. He looks so oinery!
Thanks again :o)
What a great bunch of blocks, and a cat! 8-)) I passed by 500th also a while ago, but never did a THING to celebrate - just too busy with other things to even concentrate on it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary! 8-)) I love checking in to see what you're up to.

Looks like you're working on some of the same things as Lynda (http://lyndahill.blogspot.com/) I must admit after seeing her Roll Roll Cotton in person and and yours here on your blog I'm tempted to make one myself!
ReplyDeleteHappy 500! I just read about your talk on your other blog. Wish I could live closer!
