A new flavor for M & M's Raspberry w/dark chocolate

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!!!

 These got used up today. I am so glad I save bits and pieces of fabrics!!!

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!
