I started out listening on tape then CD's and have graduated to MP3 players. In fact I've worn out one and am on my second player. I can pause, restart and replay (especially when I loose tract or can't believe what I'm hearing and need a repeat.) I often take my MP3 player to bed when I can't sleep and off I go. My favorites are espionage and mysteries, but will read/listen to just about anything. Two of my favorite things -quilting and listening to books. Enjoy.<br /><br />Terryterryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18189795590208989901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116074259919602763.post-9735227669574038882012-01-07T19:00:58.488-05:002012-01-07T19:00:58.488-05:00I just love your Pink Lemonade blocks!!!

I have just finished sewing up the last four this morning - I sat up late last night and got everything cut and just had to sew at least two of them before I went to sleep!!! I can't wait to start sewing with my plaids too!!! This is so much fun isn't it?<br />I had to laugh at the 9-patch block story, oh my! I feel sorry for the poor old Mum, too, after all that work unpicking - still it is very funny.......Merilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07017362688960778176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116074259919602763.post-10364779137242816832012-01-07T18:41:45.834-05:002012-01-07T18:41:45.834-05:00Your pink blocks look wonderful!

Ugh! I do feel for her, though....she was probably already feeling like a twit in doing the blocks wrong....poor thing!<br /><br />And no, Maureen, it's not your instructions! I had a similar thing happen at our little quilt group. One gal used the same fabrics for all 8 of her 12" blocks.....we were going for scrappy! What's worse, is that she has a 1/4" seam that is more like a 1/2"....so I'm going to have to add strips to her blocks to make them go with the rest. We couldn't possibly make the quilt without her blocks.....so it's still in the 'figuring' stage! Oh well! I think some folks get so excited about a project to get involved in, and they miss the vital word or two of instruction that makes the difference! Our favorite phrase....."It's all good!"<br /><br />I'm loving your Pink Lemonade.....I was going to do it, too, but I've got several projects screaming at me right now....can't possibly start a new one....yet! :o)reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822110311373036914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116074259919602763.post-80736769199301894732012-01-07T15:56:24.019-05:002012-01-07T15:56:24.019-05:00Love the "pink lemonade" blocks!!!
