And you too can join in on the craze right here at Amber's .
The hst's were paired up:
Pop over to Staci's and see her progress. Seeing her flat seams on everything she stitches made me twist her arm and share her secret. Her piecing is perfection and I have now discovered the magic of Aurifil thread and open seams.
Makes for crisp, flat seams so I bow to the Flat Seam Queen in gratitude.
Yes, I know. They are not very exciting to see, but they are a vital part to the block and having them all stitched and pressed means that we are now in the home stretch for SJS and watching these happy stars come together will bring me much joy.
Joy is something I need in my life today. I have spent too many days on the phone with tech support for our Internet service. We;re going on 4 weeks now and I don't know if I am getting anywhere. I finally have Internet access although it is 3 am. At the moment I have a new modem that has been shipped to me free of charge because I was so pleasant (or so I was told) which I am now being told I don't need. I have been in touch with India and Florida on multiple occasions for long hours. I have used up all of my cell phone minutes. I have been told time and time again that my patience and sweet disposition are greatly appreciated, but the sweet disposition is reaching it's limit. Hence, these:

Cookie therapy is cheap. Sewing therapy is, too. Looks to me like you are making great choices.
Lovely! I can't resist...I must join in!
OMG, OMG, look at your terrific pieces parts. I can't wait to see more, more, more!!!
Your piecing looks so perfect. I saw those Andes mint cookies and I passed them up but now that I know that you've indulged . . I'll probably have to buy some for myself.
My disposition turns pretty sour pretty quickly when my internet goes down. Thank goodness Vince can deal with it and he generally knows what the folks are talking about where I know NOTHING except control/alt/delete.
Good luck with the internet and the quilt!
So glad you got some rain its trribly dry here in North Texas.Those cookies look yummy!
I'm lucky on internet i guess-local small town phone company!
love your quilt blocks can't wait to see it all sewed together! I will have to look for the cookies too.
As for the time on the phone I always find my voice gets louder and LOUder and LOUDER when I can't get them to understand and give me an answer that makes sense. So good luck and praise the Lord we got a little rain this morning too.
I am hoping to start my SJS this week... I have been cutting charms like mad for the Curious Quilter charm swap... which I am going to use some of them for my SHS... I need to start cutting some of my white backgrouned and yes, I will be using Aurifil... the only thread I use on my machine for quilts... I do like the looks of the open seams so think I will probably do them also
ooh those cookies look so good. good job on your progress! keep it up!

Sorry to hear you're having internet troubles. That is so frustrating. Who needs that kind of stress? You've made me want to get back to work on my Scrap Jar Stars. Trouble is, I'm not being near as organized about mine, so that's making it more difficult!
Do you have Wi-Power or another provider?
