Good point Wendy!

Now Maureen how are you going to sew on the labels if you can't look at the quilts. Will they end up being sewn on the front and how will you know whose quilt is whose?

Thanks for the reminder to read the instructions Maureen, I needed that, and I will do before I begin when my turn comes.

Thanks, Maureen. I still have Nancy's quilt. Haven't had a chance to make the label for mine which I was going to send together with Nancy's quilt. It's on my to do list.

To all CW’s, I have just received Limbania’s quilt back from Nancy. Don’t worry if you think I have had a look, I haven’t. My daughter is unpacking them and storing them flat until they are ready to be hung. Nancy couldn’t get hold of Lorna so just posted to me herself in a large padded envelope. She used First Cass International post and it cost her $16.75, she posted it on 24th July and it arrived yesterday 2nd August. I went back to check on how much it cost Marilyn to send my quilt back to me. Marilyn paid $10.75 + $0.75 tracking to Lorna then a few $$ for Lorna to send to me, maybe $5 (I don’t know how much Marilyn enclosed for that). I think it was in a Priority Envelope but Marilyn will correct me if I am wrong. So, in fact there is not much difference in prices but I think sending to Lorna USA Forces post would be more secure.

I have had my quilt back from Marilyn and now Limbania’s from Nancy so remember to send the inspiration quilt back to me. In fact, when it is your turn it helps to read the rules again on page one on the forum as over time you could have forgotten things, I know I would

Lois, I think we all are guilty of procrastination, at least I am. Instead of just getting the design and doing it I hum and haa about it and over think everything then when it is done I think oh, I should have done this or that instead. That is why it takes me a lot longer to do anything for someone else. I am glad you are coming on with it and not rushing.

I like the sound of a quilter's boogie man Lois but you probably mean bogie man

Good to hear you've seen family

It's been so bad, that I borrowed a book recently - The Procrastinators Handbook by Rita Emmett. - The fellow I borrowed it from had a bookmark in straight after chapter one!

I finished it last night !!! I already see an improvement!

A few points from the book: make lists and reward yourself for things you tick off. That's just a wee bit.

Good luck Lois!

Lois, when it's my turn I will just quote you here because I know that is exactly how I will be feeling too. I am sure you will do a beautiful job and good luck with it.

That definitely happened to me too--in part out of fear of messing up irreparably, but for me it was also not having a clue what I was doing, very little previous experience to back me up!

Glad you're coming along the CW quilt and that you are also able to enjoy this summer, Lois! Good to hear from you too!

Thought I was on the fast track to finish in order to make a trip West. Now the trip has been postponed (not because of CWQ) until Fall and it"s a good thing. I am coming along with the project. Biggest problem has been bouts of procrastination all along the way because I am afraid I will mess something up big time. I don't imagine any of the rest of you are ever guilty of such a thing. I am not putting in 8 hour days like Renata reported but I am plugging away. Hoping today is very productive. Thanks for asking. Wendy, I spent last weekend at the beach in New Jersey with my son's family. So, yes, I am experiencing summer. The garden continues to grow. I do a bit of tending to it and then there is dealing with all it produces. But today I need to sew and keep the "Quilter's Boogie Man" away. Wish me luck!

I have been wondering how it's going too Lois?

Hey Lois are you ok? How's it going, are you missing out on summer?
