I've Had It! Enough! (photo heavy)

Yep! I got enough! I'm done! Throwing the towel in . . . the kitchen sink and all too. 

I'm not trying to "fix" Blogger once again just so it messes it all up again in a few months. 

Once again your comments on my previous posts are NOT coming to my email inbox like it is supposed to. Like it is programmed to do!

Every time there's an update, there's an issue. How many more emails do I need to send to Blogger to make them understand the problem. They're the techies! They should know the problem. I . . . we don't need this frustration. So I give up.

My solution : (might not be the best but here it is) From now on, I will answer your comments, questions, suggestions, etc. in the following post. Might not be very practical but it is the best I can think of for now. Is that agreeable with you? 

Let's move on to more enjoyable things, like baby quilts. I've received a few more so let's start the parade. 

This is my own County Clare quilt (sew along from Bonnie Hunter) which I quilted and Françoise bind for me. I don't understand why it's always showing with a blue tint. It's more white in person. And so is the backing too. 

The Potato Chip quilt that I was very slowly working on turned into a baby quilt. 

I added the green and grey checker to make it big enough. I might make another one. It's so scrappy. The backing is scrappy too. Love it. 

The following 2 quilts were surprises. I prepare kits (as you might know) baby quilts in a bag and the volunteers are to take the bag home and sew the top. Then the volunteer brings back the top so I can pair with a batting, backing and binding. This new lady to the group thought she had to do the entire quilt. So, I gave her two kit bags to take home and she brought me back a finished (well, two) finished quilts. Just wonderfully done. 

All quilted and bound, even though there was no binding in the kit bag. She used flannel for the backing like we do for all the baby quilts. Thank you again, sweet Francine. 

She did a little heart embroidery on the back. Too cute!! (I hope you can see it.)

Some of you might remember this one. I finished the hand-quilting that someone had started on this one and again Françoise bind it for me. I told her to use the border for the binding by folding it to the back. It was wide enough as I didn't quilt it to the edge but she found the perfectly matching pink in her stash. Thanks, Françoise. 

I didn't do much sewing but I was invited to a Tea Party of the real kind. So much fun: laughed until the tears came running down my inner tights, if you get my drift, lol. 

Some of the ladies who organized this wonderful afternoon for us. 

We brought our own tea cup and saucer. Most of us (if not all of us) had a story to tell about the cup. 

You didn't have a cup? It's okay, there were some spares.  All different. All beautiful and dainty. 

Every table had a different table runner and the "tea master" assigned to the table had an apron made with the same print. 

This was my table. Yes, the big mug with the Eiffel tower on it is my cup. I am so French even during an English Tea Party, lol. 

My dear friends, Françoise and Lucie. 

and with moi! 

I hope the Artisanat will do this again next year. It's so much fun to dress up and be a little snob for a few hours, lol. 

Reply to comments from previous posts: 

- Thank you all who have commented on the multi projects I have in production mode. I got many comments about the stripe binding. So many of you also use stripe fabric for binding. It always looks great. 

- Thank you for all the wonderful comments regarding the bake sale and craft show. 

- Lin asked how many baby quilts so far. Well, at that time, there were 25 quilts. With the 8 shown in this post, the total is 33 quilts. And more to come.😊

- A special hello to LuAnn. So good to hear from you. LuAnn likes the Framed 9-Patch that is my header at the moment. Thanks, LuAnn. And yes, copy it. I want to see yours. ;^)

- Thank you all for the encouraging words regarding the decluttering. Yes, around here it's like dirty dishes. I need to do it daily otherwise . . . 😱

- To Viola: your comment made me laugh. Thanks for the giggles. 

- Time4Stitchn asked where will the magazines be send. That's a good question: I don't know, lol. I will bring them to the craft group I belong to (The Artisanat). I'm sure some ladies will pick some up (at least I hope so). Then, the magazines will be dropped to another quilter's guild by a friend of mine in the hope that more magazines will be adopted. This cycle might happen once or twice more (through different ladies and guilds) before the last (few) magazines are brought to a thrift store. I always try to give items to people I know before bringing them to a thrift store. 

Well, if you made it this far, I thank you. 💓

If you are wondering about Friends' Favourite progress, well it's not going very fast lately but still some more blocks happened. 

Ten more blocks to go. Sigh! 

Hope you find time to sew because it's good for the soul. ;^) 

As always, I'll try to catch these talented ladies' link-party. See you there.
