Hi

Winona, what is a sassy bag?

I KNOW I could make the hot pads, but it's just one thing I never get around to doing! And I liked the colors in this one - even though they are NOTHING like the colors I have in my kitchen!

My old Lover's Knot book (1983 edition) does not have a table runner, and ALL the strips for all the sizes are cut 2 1/2" wide. I saw in the adverisement for the new book that the strips for the table runner were 1 1/2", but I want to be sure that means CUT size, not finished size before I cut anything!

I had one for place mats and the quilt, PM one of the girls that said they have the book and ask them, im sure they wont mind telling you!
Look in Chit chat under who got it.Oasis is a sweetheart, she wont mind looking it up for you!

[gmaann]

Good idea, mcmema! I just PMd Grammy2.

[gmaann]

Oh, yeah! I've got the placemat book, too! And those strips are CUT 1 1/2". I'll bet that will be the same for the table runner!

I mad e a set of 12 Christmas placemats for my daughter in CT out of that book several years ago. She's a great entertainer, so needed LOTS!

I hope all of you have had a productive day and will get to enjoy the day tomorrow. Judi it sounds like you will have a blast. Goodnight everyone & God Bless.

Work at Joann's was quite busy tonight and I am tired so I am going to crochete a baby blanket for a little bit then head off to bed. My house is a disaster so I have to make some time somehow to clean it. I am thinking I will work on my bedroom and the bathrooms tomorrow to get something done. I have to meet someone at Joann's tomorrow though because I am making a quilt for her and we need to pick out some material. Oh well I just hope I can atleast get a little cleaning done tommorrow.

Everyone have a great evening.

Judi and Gmaann - y'all really had a good day today. I've been in my sewing room all evening. Finished up my tote. I'm going to make some blocks for breast cancer quilts this weekend so I cut the templates out for the French Roses and have the fabric all ready to cut out tomorrow while my BFF is here quilting her quilt. Also I need to finish piecing the backing for my Christmas quilt. Sometime this weekend I suppose I need to do laundry - I get so sick of doing laundry but I shouldn't complain, I guess. That's all I do besides cook my 30 minute suppers. My cleaning lady does the rest. I've always worked so I figure I deserve to have her so that I can spend my free time doing my quilting and such.

I glanced in Chit Chat and the words "Fairy Frost" jumped out at me. So I ordered some of the colors (8) that I don't already have but they really had some great bundles at the Fat Quarter Shop. If I don't stop this ordering on line I won't have any $$$ to spend at the quilt show. Two weeks from today we go to the quilt show - I'm so excited I can't stannnnnnddddd it! Don't tell GP I ordered more Fairy Frost - she'll never let me hear the end of it. She'll think she has converted me.
