Jean McCusker replied to carla j walton's discussion 2019 BLOCK BUSTERS FI-UP CHALLENGE!!! in the group Swapping "FUN" is for Everyone"Ah, so others have dealt with this! Thanks, Chris. My solve was realizing only part of the backing was wanting a quarter inch, so now it will have a l-o-n-g and narrow label that covers up the missing bit. I will definitely watch…"
Jean McCusker replied to carla j walton's discussion 2019 BLOCK BUSTERS FI-UP CHALLENGE!!! in the group Swapping "FUN" is for Everyone"I couldn’t believe it. But I guess I will just have to try harder when loading a quilt."
Jean McCusker replied to carla j walton's discussion 2019 BLOCK BUSTERS FI-UP CHALLENGE!!! in the group Swapping "FUN" is for Everyone"Good plans, Wilma. I need to start making smaller items. These queen sizes are very time consuming."
Jean McCusker replied to carla j walton's discussion 2019 BLOCK BUSTERS FI-UP CHALLENGE!!! in the group Swapping "FUN" is for Everyone"Was moving right along on my sister’s quilt this evening. Then I got to the last row. The backing is about 1/4 inch to short for the top. I guess I left too much at the beginning. Live and learn. Took it off the frame…"

Jean McCusker replied to carla j walton's discussion 2019 BLOCK BUSTERS FI-UP CHALLENGE!!! in the group Swapping "FUN" is for Everyone"You should be proud, Carla. Not only have you finished stuff while life was filling your time with unexpected challenges and the expected grandson, but you have rallied us to get some things done so we can enjoy them. "
Jean McCusker replied to carla j walton's discussion 2019 BLOCK BUSTERS FI-UP CHALLENGE!!! in the group Swapping "FUN" is for Everyone"Lol. Already finished the hearts quilt top, so I guess I need to decide what else. Maybe it is time to quilt the bird swap. And make the butterfly quilt top. "

Jean McCusker replied to Kathy Gurgone's discussion Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Block Swap (Completed) in the group Swapping "FUN" is for Everyone" Thanks, Ginny. I don’t remember, Ginny. I am awful with numbers. I could go measure again, but that would mean leaving my comfy recliner, Lol. I am going to guess Some where around 50” x 70” "

Maybe after the holidays you'll be able to get back on. I think others have been busy and not on as much because of getting ready for for the holidays. Your quilts are beautiful. Please take care and hope to see you on when your able.

Linda Koller said… I'm not exactly a spring chicken either, Jean. I raised my children in that area and my baby just turned 40. And there was a JoAnn Fabrics there at that time. I took in alterations back then and was always running in there for something. Then I started making some of their models for the flyer and working in the store part time. I had a full time job too. No wonder I was always worn out!!!
Hugs.

Jean, where do your siblings live? I'm surprised we didn't meet all those years I lived in Aurora Shores. I worked part-time in JoAnn Fabrics in Solon too. I look forward to meeting you.
Hugs.

- where in socal? i'm a native of ventura county. yes, sometimes emails are difficult to keep up with, but as you say...fun:)). drive carefully, be as safe as you can ---with weather like the midwest and east is having now, i always found the danger was more often the other drivers driving too fast for conditions, losing control and creating havoc for others. same for here also, when we have winter, unlike this year :((. oh well ...take care

- this one ?
http://myquiltplace.com/photo/norwegian-carousel-wall-hanging?xg_source=activity
it was made by mary moore while on a quilt cruise w doreen speckman in norway. all norwegion fabrics she said. i love the bright colors also. i have a wooden spoon & stand my hubs grfather brought from norway years ago after visiting family there. all these bright yellow $ brilliant reds in the designs.
don't worry ..the names will come. couple years here & i still have to go back & forth between comment & persons home page to remember who they are & where they're from.
yes, can be a wee bit of a lag, a little difficult to keep up while traveling. tho it sorta makes for fun catch up time in motel when we get in late after a long day on the road, dinner & finally settle in for night. log in to MQP, catch up and fall asleep tired from the day, but w a smile from the catch up reads. with cureent weather across the eastern 2/3 of US, do be safe, but enjoy your travels.
