Hubby was being so nice about doing some extra chores around the house ( without me asking). He said it was because he knew that my back and leg had been hurting something awful. I had to break down and show him the first two quilts and show him the labels... his jaw dropped. When I told him who they were for, his jaw dropped even further. He asked.."You going to give them to them when we see them the next time?" I said "Yes, we have tickets to see them on Jan 5th"... needless to say, he's excited.
I've already started on the third, and final, quilt but haven't taken any pics yet. I was kind of shocked when I opened up the panel with the Bible verses on it. I had assumed ( I know, wrong thing to do) that it would be the same as the first two... but it isn't. The verses are all on 9.5" x 3.5" 'blocks'. If you click on the pic and enlarge it, you should be able to see that several of the blocks are 3.5" squares and then several are the rectangles. This panel doesn't have any squares so I'm having to do some different planning.
I was going to tell you about two of the first blocks I did on this new quilt but I think I'll wait and show you pics at the same time so you'll understand what I'm talking about. Sometimes I have trouble conveying just what it is I'm trying to say... so pics help.
Well, guess that's it for tonight. I've got about an hour to go 'play' with blocks some more before I call it a night and go watch some tv..

pssst I forgot to tell what was wrong with Mo'e that he was giving me so much trouble. I called Jason at Gall on Thurs. morning after I'd tried just about everything. He had me check the encoder on the back of the machine ( the one I forgot was even there). Sure enough, it had somehow come unplugged. I plugged it back in and sure enough, Mo'e was back to behaving himself and I was able to finish quilting the blue quilt about supper time Friday.
