Quilt in a Day Forums

Well, cleaning iron didn't help much so who knows. Will finish up today with the pressing the best I can. Wondering if the fabric is the problem. It is Riley Blake back ground so should be good? Go figure?

Uh Oh Valerie. I hate having Iron issues but to have it sticking is even worse. Mine sticks if I am not paying attention to fusible. I haven't purchased Riley Blake fabrics yet but I hear they are good. Yes, Go FIgure is right. Ugh!! I sure hope by now you are able to stitch and iron away. Fingers crossed and prayers said for peaceful and FUN stitching!!! Will be watching for them soon. Plenty of time.

Yes Flo your blocks have arrived!!! I was YIPPEE when I saw them!!!!!! Found the package yesterday underneath the non-perishable grocery's that didn't get put away. Thursday was a very long day starting with shots in the neck and then down to Santa Clarita for Eye Dr appt and surgery setup. Couldn't sleep Wednesday night so to have to get up early on Thursday to head back to Lancaster for 4 Dr appts and back home was very trying. I fell asleep in 2 of the appts waiting for Dr. It wasn't too bad though. We scheduled them with enough time to breath between them. Good thing Rob was driving as I just couldn't stay awake.
Felt so much better on Friday. Could actually stay awake watching a few of the shows we love only to find out that they won't be back until January now. COVID sure has taken it toll on Filming this past year. BULL was Hysterical to a degree. Lots of singing. Cracked me up.
So to get back to your question ... Yes they have arrived and as ALWAYS they are Great!!!! Love all of the fabrics but especially the trees and the blue looking like snow falling!!! 6 sets with 12 HST's - YEA!!

WONDERFUL instincts everyone is having in your choices of fabrics. This is going to be a FUN quilt to make!!!!

I have 6 done, had seven but in trying to fix the iron I got something on the background. So I will send the 6 but I do have 14 half square triangles. I will have DH mail on Monday.

Most wonderful NEWs Valerie!!! WOW you sure are having issues with your iron giving you so much trouble. Maybe a new iron for Christmas from Santa???? I will keep my eye open for them and post when I receive ... Boing, Boing, Boing!!!

Tracking says blocks are in California City but not out for delivery? How can that be?

Now tracking says blocks delivered.

Hi Valerie - Yes tracking can say that. No explanation other than Cal City is a small office with not many people working it. Could have been sidelined but NOW it is FOUND and YES I have it in my sweet little hands. THANK YOU so much for joining us. LOVE your fabrics and the blocks are wonderfully festive!!!!

WINNERs will be posted at the TOP of the thread
