Well Blog, what do think?
I think you’re kinda spacey!
Aww, don’t say that. I really did think I made this Afghan already. I just did a modified not so pretty version and since I gave away the book – I never really knew I went off the reservation in the first place.
Where’s the picture of that “modified” version?
Well I can’t find it!
Exactly! You’re kinda spacey. But you see now what it’s supposed to look like and you have the gift certificate and you CAN get going on this, right?
Well… have you seen the yarn to choose from?
Oh for cryin’ out loud, of course I’ve seen the Yarn. I’m the one with the Vision WOMAN! Just wake me up when you need Security features for the Checkout because I’m going to check-out of this. It’s hard being the Blog of the Mistress of LeeHaven. I can’t imagine being a reader. Y’all deserve some floating packets of Grace!
Holy Gee Wiz what the heck with that! That’s not very nice. I certainly hope my Blog doesn’t start talking like that on a regular basis. I’m not sure that’s a very funny feature.
If you ask me, a little freezer paper and your printer and scissors and the whole inklingo thing ROCKS! Of course it’s different if you’re my girlfriend Cathi (Quilt Obsession) because she gets flash posts from me. One elicited this response (just an excerpt) “Oh, Karen!! Yikes! There’s a much faster way to navigate around in the collections.”
Well, hee! I just wanted to jump right in without reading the directions. hee! I was advised to use my wooden cutting board for the freezer paper. I didn’t buy a new one at first so all my fabric pieces smell like onion. The heat of the iron really brought that aroma out and I didn’t realize what was happening at first so there was an odd moment.
Having cats and dogs and parrots my nose is trained to be twitchy and I didn’t think “onion” could be wafting from the board. That was only a couple seconds mind you but it was kinda funny.
I worked it out though. And I bought a flat, new cutting board this morning but sheesh, I bought one that was a bit too small. Oh well. It’ll have to do.
I’ve been working on these without any fabric placement plans and this is not a block a girl makes without some sort of a plan. Cathi and I talked and I think I’ll switch the Dark and Lights. But I have to finish these first. They actually go pretty fast but today I have to think about other things so I’m taking a break for a bit.
That whole business about the iron bringing out the smell of onion… I bet you’ve had that happen. Pretty rookie move, ha?
(ps: Check out Lynda over at View Too – she’s officially retiring!)

I came over from barton in wakefield. Where Latane has you as her 1st of the month blogger friend. Love your quilt blocks.

lol Onions?! Really?! Hilarious! There could be much much worse things to smell like, right?
Those block are fantabulous. I cannot wait to see the switcheroo of darks and lights. Genius ideas, no doubt.
Two heads are better than one hugs….
Hello…knock knock… Karen…are you there? If your blog is talking to you and you are answering I think you may have a mild concussion or perhaps a case of the..I don't know what this would be caused by??? Quilt blocks that smell like onions? Add some tomatoes and garlic and we'll call it Alabama Spaghetti!
Oh my gosh, you may be all growed up, but you haven't lost that crazy streak! I cannot stop laughing over the smell of onions! Maybe you should name that block “Quartered Onions”.
Love your new 40 photo. No make-up needed! You truly radiate beauty!
You know, I am thinking……..your writing skills are about to rival your wonderful quilting skills! You make me smile, girl!
Happy new year!
What a HOOT!!! You made my day!!
Maybe you should rename this the onion peel quilt!
I don't know about your blog having a mind of it's own, but I guess all opinions(?) are welcome(?). I have never used a cutting board for ironing, but I have had cutting boards smell of onion every time I'd scrub them! Too funny – you could have the first smell-o-quilt! Who knows – you might even start a trend! Enough silliness……for now.
Happy Today!
A talking blog? One that answers back? How horrible. I like to think I'm the one in control, so if mine stargts doing that I'll have to give up blogging.
Just dropping by to say hello. You have been busy…. evidently I have not. No new posts for me lately but I plan on it soon. Hope your Christmas was a great one.
Onions – hee. Now you crack me up!
I have plastic – or plastic like cuttin gboards so I would not have made that rookie mistake. Just sayin'.
That Inklingo is the brainstorm of my friend, Linda Franz. Isn't it amazing? Cathi whips through her blocks in record time and they are all perfect and wonderful. Looking forward to seeing all of your blocks.
Your blocks are coming along beautifully!
That is a great photo of you …. au naturel is the way to go! Glad to hear that you had a wonderful day. Laughed when I read about the onions …….
Oh I hope my blog doesn't start talking to me!
LOL, then I'd really be in trouble! Too funny! Your blocks are going to be so cute!
I LOVE your hair!!! I have a thing for beautiful, natural lightening!! Gorgeous!!!!!! And, wow….onions. LOL
Love your picture! A birthday celebration pic…lovely. Your new blocks are so pretty. Hard looking, but pretty! Enjoy your day today…
The speaking blog is too funny!! Love it!
If I've let fabric get too dry, I often will throw it in the fridge or freezer for 24 hours before ironing it as that makes it super easy to get the wrinkles to iron out. Once I put the fabric in a plastic bag that had previously had some garlic in it. I didn't really notice a smell to the fabric but when I started ironing it, a very definite aroma of garlic was evident. Needless to say, I rewashed that fabric.
I like (really like!) your new picture, but I am worried about you. Talking to yourself and smelling onions and all that. Love the post! Karmen
