Oh my! I bought this for snacking at the retreat but I have already broken into the bag! They are good!!! Almost too good to share!!!
I now have all 300+ of my 4 1/2" Log Cabin blocks made. I still have strips left and cannot decide whether or not to make a few more blocks or to add another round (4 times) to the blocks. Decisions decisions!!!
The last 36 went by real fast today! And packing those 1 1/2" strips was great but they seem HUGE!!! compared to 1" strips. I am gonna miss sewing on my big machine. But my Janome DQC 3160 has all the features of my big machine except for the knee lever. (which I love!) Thread trimming, needle up/down, needle threading, adjustable needle drop...
Here are my 4 1/2" Log Cabin blocks. I am gonna miss sewing on them!!!
LEFTOVERS!!!
I swapped out 18 swapper's 2 1/2" green strips this last Monday. I did it in three hours!!! And I got them all to the PO on Tuesday. And one swapper got her strips already!
Everyone gets their own little basket. I go through each package and count their strips to make sure all is even. It is not fun to get to the end and find you are short!!!
I had them all around the room.
I love these little baskets.
They make it so easy to keep all the swapper's separate.
WHOOHOOO! All mailed out.
And my laundry is all done and I am mostly all packed. I am thinking I might take my main machine in for service. But then again I was thinking of bringing it along and keep the QDC 3160 in the truck in case someone needs a machine.
Please talk me out of that!
QDC 3160 weighs 12 lbs.
6600P weighs 42 lbs!

That 30 pounds would stop me. I'm going to have to look for those Raspberry M&Ms this evening.
Leave it to a quilter to find the best chocolate ever!
300 log cabin blocks, but because you were busy.
You got it sorted neatly in place.
Many greetings Gitta
My goodness I wish you hadn't told me about those M&M's! Well, yeah I guess I am since I plan on going out and hunting some down myself...lol
Have a great time!

Don't take the big machine, just take more M&Ms!!
I love dark chocolate and raspberry together. I hadn't seen these before--thanks, I think! : )
No one will need a machine....take the light weight one!
I love all the log cabin blocks you've made......I'm getting ready to start one myself! Thanks for inspiring me!
And, oh yeah.....did you really need to get me wanting yet another M&M product!?! Yikes! I'm so easily swayed! I just love raspberry and dark chocolate, so I guess I'm headed for the store! lol
i have to try those new m&ms!
Well that was so sweet of you to think of someone who may need a machine AND be willing to take an extra just for them!! I love your blog and try to keep up with you. Have fun at your retreat!
Don't give yourself a hernia lugging that heavy machine around if the lightweight one will do the job for you. You're not responsible for providing a machine for someone who forgets theirs...or just the cord or foot pedal. Be sure to take the M&Ms though. :)
I have to know where you found those!! I need them. :)
Oh mercy - more temptation -- M&Ms, (not fabric for a change) and raspberry to boot!
