Thank you MS Donna....and I got my 1st squishie today from Lynn (dlhealdquilter). The question is can I wait or will I open it? I am waiting for now till I get a few more. So its here safely Lynn. Thank you so much. And you moved since I sent your block.

Nanci

Nancy, I mailed your block today. As for your question, I couldn't wait to open my blocks. I opened them as soon as they arrived!
Linda OH

Nancy, I mailed your block today. Hope you have a wonderful Birthday! Kay

Kathryni, I mailed your block yesterday. I don't know when I will get back to sewing after my surgery next Tuesday so I mailed it early.
Linda OH

Miss Linda,,,

I got my block its so pretty I cheated and opened it. I just love the hearts and those kitties in that one. Thank you so much.

Nancy

I know this is the November thread. But I wanted to tell Melissa that I just finished her block and it will be in the mail this afternoon or in the morning. So sorry it took so long. Only 7 more to catch up on. Being in 3 groups really takes alot of work. I had 11 blocks for September and October.

Thanks everyone for being so patient.

Amy

Linda, I received your beautiful block today! I couldn't resist opening it--thank you so much. I hope everything goes well with your surgery and will be thinking of you this week.
Kay

Lynn I decided to open your Block WOW. I just love the pink heart appliques with all the hearts on the fabric.That made a very cool block with a star in the middle. And thank you for the FQ I just love that purple. So Cute.I can't wait to show all the pictures when I get all the blocks. Since I am in -2- groups its 2 down 22 to go.

Ya'll are spoiling me. thanks so much

Nanci

Well I had to go to a party this after and stopped by the post office on the way...Boy did the blocks come in.

Kay--* you kitty block came in. I participate in Block Centrals kitty swap so your sweet kitty will fit right in I have about 65 kitties that size from the seasonal swaps. I have never made that one she is so cute with her dress on. Thanks so much. Kim Noblin runs Bella online. She sends great newletters with free blocks every week.

LISA---Girl the background of lime green is right up my alley. I love the Laurel Burch cat fabric made in to hearts too. -2- things in one I love collecting hearts and kitties.

This is gonna be so much fun having birthday blocks coming all month from -2- groups.

Thank you all so very much.

Nanci

Kay I got your Block today. The appliqued kitty with appliqued hearts are just too cute on the pink background. Thank you for the extra kitty butterfly fabric too.

NOw the dumb question? When I have appliqued I never cut the back out of what was appliqued. Your kitty and hearts are less bulgy and your block lays flatter. Should I have been cuting the background fabric out? Or are you going to tell me its the quilts choice? I really like the way you did it.

Nanci

Nanci, that's my personal preference to cut out the extra background fabric inside my applique. I just like the way it looks when quilted. Either way is fine.

Kay

Glad you liked it Nanciii! Saw that fabric and knew it had to go to you!
Happy Birthday!
Lisa

Nanci, I wanted to let you know that my dog drop kicked my sewing machine and it is now in the shop. I'm afraid your block will be a little late as I have no idea how bad my machine is messed up or how long it will be in the shop and out of commission. I feel terrible and will get your block to you as soon as possible.

Melissa

Nanci, your block is on its way to you! :)

Donna

That's okay Melissa I just hope your machine is okay. I would be having withdrawals. Thats one reason I got the extra machine so if its ever in the shop instead of embriodery I can just sew. Hope you get it back soon.

Donn I will be watching for it.
Nanci

I put mine in the mail today... Should be there before Thanksgiving... grace

OMG I ogt the cutest block today, It a wild rainbow kitty walking on a fence with a blue background with snowflakes. Thank yo so much Ms Meow its precious and has a new home. and I love my card too.

Nanci

Nanci, I'm glad you like it! It was fun to make. :)

Donna

Nanci, Your b-day block was mailed Saturday- hope you like it! Have a great week- JudyLee

Drum Roll,

I rec'd another beautiful block today from Grace. It was kitty fabric in a heart friendship block on black, very pretty. With a little note pad for quilters and a card that was sew sweet. Thank you so much I really love it. Its like I am in a block a day club so far. lol

Nanci

Drum roll again for the Judy's:

Judylee- sent the prettiest pressed paper card with gold hearts on it, just precious. And the block was pink and teal 9 patch with the happiest kittys on the pink fabric. Tooo Cute.

Judy-Juttz the nicest light house town card wouldn't that make a pretty quilt? The block is 4 log cabin type hearts and I think it was paper pieced its so perfect. They are in my favorite colors of yellows and blues. Just wonderful.

So that's my update for this cold dready day in Louisiana but we really needed the rain. And these blocks made the sun shine in my house.

So far the Scrapmasters are winning with 9 out of 12 arriving. The Threadheads I have 5 with 7 left to go. So its still party time. Thanks to everyone for making my month a party. As the big day appoaches next week.
Nanci

Nanci, I'm going to be late! My DD and the new baby are arriving for a visit tomorrow and I'm afraid that that has taken priority - getting ready has been such a rush! Can't wait. There will be a cat on its way to you as soon as possible!

Nanci, I dug out my mom's old Kenmore and got your block done! It will go out in the mail tomorrow and make it to you by Thursday! Have a happy day!!
Melissa

I understand Islay. And melissa I guess you have not heard what your verdict is on your machine. I hope it's not too bad. Thanks for letting me know.

Nanci

Islay, did you get the block for you from me yet?..I didnt have to put a customs sticker on it and its been worrying me that it wouldnt go through...I sent it out quite awile ago..also sent out Kays block when I sent Nancys....Judy

Nancy,

No, haven't heard anything about my machine. My repair guy sent it to Janome and we are waiting to hear whether it is just the drive shaft or the computer that's shot. Hoping it's just the drive shaft as I really love my machine and don't want to have to purchase a new one.

I had forgotten that I had mom's old Kenmore. Glad DH said something about it and I could get your block done for you! I hate to be late with anything.

Melissa

Melissa,

I got your sweet kitty cat today. That is my favorite pink and tourquoise. And you did not need to priorty mail it. But thanks it sure did brighten my day. So glad your machine is ready too. Thank everyone.

Nanci

Happy Birthday, Nanci!
Kay

Nancy I mailed out your block yesterday. It should be there soon.

Amy

I have received all my blocks but Islay's. I saw where Kay has received hers for December so now I am beginning to think mine was lost from across the pond.

Nanci

Nanci, I'm sorry you haven't got it yet. It went the same day as Kathi's. Let me know in January if you still haven't received it and I'll make you another.

Oh I figured it was just slow due to the holidays. It is taking the scenic route and visiting alone the way. I will let you know ASAP and then post a picture of all the lovely treats.

Nanci

Islay,

Your Kitty came today, she told me she took the scenic tour and loved every minute of it. Thank you so much for the precious card too. You lavender floral kitty will blend right in with the others. Thanks so much.

Nanci

Phew!!!
