Hi Paus

and no harm done Lynne...we're with you!!!

I had to go to dinner with son's--all u can eat crab legs so I'm late but better late then never.I really like the cover I have and will be doing more but first I need selvages so I'm just following along for now.

These are going to be so fun to make! Each one will be unique because the selvages will all be different!

I'm enjoying the class Lynne, and the brownies

I am sorry I got behind. All of a sudden my salvages disappeared. I had to go collect them on the way to find the cat that still had the rest of them.

Hi....I'm back. Having internet problems, got kicked off....I hate when that happens...very aggravating....I am about caught up to you. If I disappear it isn't cause I don't want to be here. I really do.

gotta love those kitty's...lol

the one I had as a child was so mischevious I had to get dressed top to bottom in the bathroom putting my socks and shoes on was a nightmare if I didn't

sorry about your computer Lynne, it can be frustrating

take a deep breath and eat another brownie your doing a great job teacher

I was ready to jump in and the Gkids stopped by for a surprise visit...I do so love spending time with them...but can't wait to try this out. Hopefully I can get on tonight, if not I have sometime tomorrow I can work on it. I'm all out of chocolat

Would using a zipper foot be helpful when sewing down the selvedges?

lolllll The problem with your editing, is I was keeping up with you and now I have to edit my copy. lolllll

I don't have any chocolate with me tonight, per se, but I'm trying a new Chex snack I found at the store. Peanut butter and chocolate "Muddy Buddies". I don't taste the peanut butter, but I do taste the chocolate and they are crunchy.

paus I tried those muddy buddies while in the states...I agree not very peanutty but I still enjoyed them...love chex mix, but unfortunately it is not an aussie thing

I'm with you Lynne

No problem. I thought maybe I'd missed a couple steps when I found I was looking at the same instructions and photos again. lollll

You're doing great!!!!

Caleb is entertaining me with his Leggo creations,the child has an imagination

I like these Muddy Buddies but I like Chex in any case; I like the crunch. I keep a zip lock bag of a trail like mix in my car for muchies and Chex figures heavily in the mix. That, and lotsa nuts. Diabetic survival.

Seems as if we lost our teacher again. At least I've gotten caught up with my copying.

This is a good pattern; I"m enjoying it.

agreed paus...I'm diabetic too

I am enjoying this too and hope to make several before next Friday morning as gifts for the ladies in my friday sit and sew group, haven't seen them since before Christmas, so it will be nice to meet up again...I'm sure the Scottish lady willlove it, she always has a water bottle wrapped in a napking then in a plastic bag so it dosen't sweat in her purse...

KS, did you see the thread I posted earlier? Having survived the Legos/Bionicle period of my DGSs lives, I posted about a play mat that is for sale but I'm sure could be made for the tiny toys play time. There's a drawstring that allows you to throw all the pieces in the mat and just pull it closed, keeping everything in its' own little bag.

How old is Caleb? Is he old enough for the Bionicles. They are some kind of fun.

Yeah! I finally get to jump in. I will get busy gluing my salvages down.

No...but I'll have to check it out later...those little pieces are the dickens to keep up with and Caleb will literally play with them for hours on end...he builds houses, pools...bikes...cars...even adds flower garden for me...a mat would be nice when dad steps on one and goes berserk...lol

hi Kblue

I have mine sewed. I will put the cord in it tomorrow. Thank you for teaching this tonight. I need to head to bed. I love my water bottle cover. I hope I can sleep after all the chocolate. LOL I was too busy to eat anything. Hope you don't have a bellyache. Thanks again. Jackie

night jackie sleep well

Those Legos are the best. I love those kind of toys. My sons used them, my DGSs, and I hear my DGGSs are going that way also. They can amuse themselves for hours, and hours.

Nice that Caleb thinks of his Mom when he's playing.

When I last visited my DGSs, they have evolved into computer stuff and they have a drawing software that is unbelievable!!!! It's for drafting game videos. Anyway, they drew a house, with rooms furnished and displayed and lots of gardens for Gramma.

Just tickles you when they do stuff like that, doesn't it?

Oops, I'm sorry. Hi, KBlue.

Great job Lynne, I am looking forward to making these and will post pics when I finsih.

Thanks so much for taking your time to do this, I love learning something new...great class!

It sure does Paus, and I hope he always keeps his mom dear to his heart, right now I'm the best to quote him...except for when I make him angry then he dosen't like me anymore that is until he gets hungry...lol

LOL Lynne...great job!

Thank you very much, sewloves2quilt. It was a good class. You explained it very well, and the pics were great!!!

I will be trying this.

Thanks for teaching Sewlove2quilt, sorry I wasn't on for most of it. I am busy gluing my salvages now and plan to sew tomorrow.

Thanks for teaching this. I got sleepy and had to go to bed before the end last night. I will add it to my long and ever growing to do list.

Really neat project. Sorry that I didn't make the class - seems I can't get myself to these classes..

Thank you for the instructions. I have saved them for when I collect some selvages.. something new for me.

picture tutorials were great. thanks for sharing.

Beautiful tutorial. So clear and concise. I've been sick but am reading this today Sat. Way to go!

Great tutorial!
I don't have many selvages yet and never knew how they were assembled. Your instructions and pictures really cleared that up.
Hopefully I can get one done before summer.
Thanks again!
