Matty, how are things over there? Any sign of restrictions easing up?

mattygroves

No, no easing yet. :( I'm very sad I can't go to Australia - if you refresh the page, you should see a picture of Matilda Grace. My granddaughter.

6:44 am

Marc Freeman

7:21 am

Marc Freeman

I am stuck on ki6 the second one, please?

7:21 am

BzznBea

Snatch a baby, Marc

7:22 am

Marc Freeman

Wow missed that one, thanks

7:22 am

MollyL

Apparently, you can snatch a canine as well

7:23 am

BzznBea

Thanks for that, Molly.

7:24 am

MollyL

That is what happens when you just blindly type in words that seem ridiculous because well, you know, Enable.

7:24 am

BzznBea

Did you look up The Little Purple Thang yesterday?

7:25 am

MollyL

Of course I did. Google is a marvelous thing.

7:26 am

BzznBea

Did you buy a couple? =)

7:26 am

BzznBea

That woman who came up with that is rich, I tell ya!

7:27 am

MollyL

No, sewing and I are like oil and water. We don't mix well. I leave that to the talented, like you.

7:33 am

periwinkle

good morning all. another gray day here but I have Babble and coffee!

7:34 am

periwinkle

Congrats Matty

7:34 am

BzznBea

Good morning, peri.

7:34 am

BzznBea

You doing well?

7:35 am

periwinkle

I am just fine, thanks for asking. Was supposed to go on a bus trip today with a group of old people but of course it was cancelled. We will all get our money back

7:36 am

BzznBea

How many days have you been under stay at home? Do you remember?

7:37 am

periwinkle

not sure 3-4 weeks. seems like forever. only go out for food. but did get to the laundromat on Mon.

7:38 am

periwinkle

cleaned the bedroom yesterday. may clean the bathroom. will keep you all posted -)

7:38 am

BzznBea

Our SIP started on March 30. I know my mom and husband had been staying home longer than that and I was only going out for groceries and the pharmacy. But yes, It does seem like forever.

7:40 am

BzznBea

I should clean as well, but always find other things to do instead.

7:40 am

Judi

Good morning, all. THANK YOU, Peri. It's updates like that that keep us all hanging on. Please don't skimp on the details (swiffer or rag, mop or scrub brush, etc.)

7:40 am

MollyL

I can tell by the pick up in traffic that people here are tiring of staying at home and have gone back to work. I imagine some who are considered essential but were working from home.

7:40 am

periwinkle

I rarely clean.

7:40 am

periwinkle

haha Judi

7:41 am

BzznBea

Good morning, Judi.

7:41 am

welki

'morning, all

7:41 am

periwinkle

hi welki

7:41 am

BzznBea

We have a tool shed that I call "The Shed COVID19 Built".

7:42 am

BzznBea

Morning, welki.

7:42 am

Judi

This past weekend I cleaned out two "junk" drawers, and set aside several pairs of shoes and some clothes to donate to Goodwill. Geesh. I swear that stuff spawns in the closets.

7:42 am

MollyL

People who live around me seem made of money. I have never seen so many home repairs going on. Roofing, window work, etc.

7:44 am

BzznBea

I don't see any repairs going on in my ratty neighborhood but my grocery store is on the same parking lot as Lowe's Home Improvement. It is always packed!

7:45 am

Judi

I think those who are working from home are taking advantage of being able to babysit contractors - and stimulous money.

7:45 am

periwinkle

help with I under the W pls

7:45 am

BzznBea

I think my husband spent a total of $100 on his shed. Most of the wood was reclaimed or some he had stacked elsewhere.

7:46 am

BzznBea

7:47 am

Judi

Plus, with all this time on our hands, we are tackling those dreaded DIY projects, or at least we should be ( said as I glare pointedly at my husband).

7:48 am

BzznBea

I'm always looking around in the garage for my garden tools until I remember they are in the shed on the back.

7:52 am

Judi

Off to do some work. BBL.

7:53 am

MollyL

I'm wondering what the surge on the travel industry is going to be like once all those frequent flyers are able to jet around again.

7:54 am

BzznBea

It will be crazy!

7:54 am

BzznBea

Especially if it opens up before the summer.

7:55 am

BzznBea

I asked my mom what she wanted to do with her stimules money. She wants to save it so she can make a trip back to Kansas. Bless her heart.

7:55 am

welki

my youngest daughter and her family had booked flights here for early july - i think they'll have to reschedule

7:56 am

BzznBea

And that seems so far away, doen't it, welki?

7:56 am

bichon

I already had to cancel a trip to CA to see grands

7:56 am

MollyL

Well I hope Matty is able to get a plane ticket to see that new grandbaby. It must be awful not being able to go.

7:57 am

welki

it does, bea - three months ago, i could have been heard complaining how fast the days are going by. not so much today

7:57 am

BzznBea

I'm sure she was bedise herself not getting there, especially since there seemed to be some trouble with the birth.

7:59 am

BzznBea

My cats are mad because the sun isn't out this morning. They have no place to take their baths and naps.

7:59 am

welki

yeah, looks like she arrived a few weeks early

7:59 am

mattygroves

It is. I have the travel vouchers from the cancelled trip in May, so the minute travel restrictions are lifted, I'll be there like a shot!

7:59 am

BzznBea

Welki, do you get to talk to or FaceTime your grands?

7:59 am

welki

all the time, bea

7:59 am

hokie carla

not sure I'll ever feel like getting on a plane again. good thing we have the motorhome.

8:00 am

mattygroves

And yeah, the whole emergency C-section, resuscitation and so forth was very dramatic, but Tilly has been moved from ICU to High Dependency so we're all cautiously optimistic

8:00 am

hokie carla

yikes, matty

8:00 am

BzznBea

Me too, welki. I love FaceTimeing with my grands.

8:00 am

welki

oh, your poor daughter (and her s/o)!!

8:00 am

bichon

hoping for the best, Matty

8:01 am

mattygroves

Tilly was due on 5 May and weighed at birth 7.2 pounds, but, because of the fetomaternal hemorrhage had to be resuscitated and cooled. There is a chance of organ and brain damage but again, the signs are encouraging

8:02 am

BzznBea

Matty, congratulations on Tilly Grace. I'm sure you were a nervous wreck. Sounds like they have her care well in hand.

8:02 am

Lizlin

Congratulations Matty. Lovely news and cute names. Sorry the whole experience was so dramatic for your daughter. Hope it’s not too long before you can get over here to visit them

8:02 am

MollyL

Prayers out that all goes well for your grand girlie, Matty

8:04 am

hokie carla

yes, I hope she is better soon

8:19 am

8:21 am

Can someone please clue me the 2nd ty4 word?

8:22 am

hokie carla

8:22 am

MollyL

I was surprised that Carla suddenly had 5 kids.

8:22 am

BzznBea

Double the 2 pt tiles in that lower corner, flask

8:23 am

hokie carla

what a nightmare, right?

8:23 am

Flask1

Thanks Bea....never heard of it....lol

8:23 am

hokie carla

oh that corner! I was going the other way and couldn't figure out what Bea was saying to do

8:24 am

BzznBea

Speaking of nightmares...I dreamed I was back in college...OY!

8:24 am

hokie carla

finished our puzzle last night. 4 pieces were missing, and it was brand new!

8:25 am

hokie carla

btw, I dislike today's grid more than yesterday's

8:27 am

BzznBea

LOL! My friend shared that she had finished a puzzle. It was missing two pieces. The dog had eaten them.

8:29 am

hokie carla

to be honest, I pulled 3 things out of the dogs mouth while working on it. 2 of them were circular and much thicker - I'm pretty sure they were the little dots on the bottom of the chair legs to keep them from scratching the floor. the 3rd thing though could have been a puzzle piece but was unrecognizable

8:29 am

hokie carla

but that leaves 3 missing pieces. every time I knocked some off I picked them up.

8:31 am

chrisk

Good morning everyone. I have had pets that would sneak pieces off the table when no one was looking.

8:32 am

hokie carla

good morning. interesting theory. it's possible because this puzzle smelled really bad and my dog loves stinky stuff.

8:33 am

BzznBea

Chrisk, are you getting a lot of hand work done during this time?

8:36 am

MLFAN17

hokie I didn't like yesterday's grid either. Today's isn't any better?

8:36 am

hokie carla

what are you going to do on this rainy day, bea?

8:36 am

hokie carla

nope, mlfan, I think it's worse

8:37 am

hokie carla

I have 44 left and kinda stuck

8:37 am

MLFAN17

usually this size range isn't good

8:37 am

hokie carla

true

8:38 am

BzznBea

I have to go brave the grocery store and the pharmacy. Then I think I will see if I can get the string quilt blocks finished and together today. Will need to scrounge around for some border and backing fabric...

8:38 am

hokie carla

that tree is the oakiest of the trees (not a word)

8:39 am

hokie carla

good luck with all that! I am making a quilt sandwich for my mom's mother's day quilt and getting started on that.

8:39 am

MLFAN17

sounds like a fun day bzz?

8:40 am

BzznBea

I maybe could get plants in pots out under the carport...

8:40 am

BzznBea

HOw big is the quilt, Carla? What pattern did you use?

8:40 am

hokie carla

what is the stat for the middle i?

8:41 am

BzznBea

8:41 am

MLFAN17

I wanted to know the same thing hokie

BzznBea

8:42 am

MLFAN17

4th column p stats pls?

8:42 am

hokie carla

well, it's about twin size so I don't know what my mom will do with it. in 2018 I bought this town square mystery quilt my LQS was participating in. made this one with that pattern but with my stash.

8:42 am

BzznBea

Yes, mlf, that word has been surprising a lot of people today.

8:43 am

MLFAN17

interesting isn't it?

8:44 am

BzznBea

wo8.80

8:44 am

hokie carla

are you just stringing together scraps? how does that work?

8:44 am

MollyL

*Pictures Carla, Bea and some other sewing broads in a scene from How To Make An American Quilt

8:45 am

MLFAN17

i am working on the 8 right now

8:45 am

hokie carla

we need to have a quilting bee :D

8:45 am

MLFAN17

what is a mystery quilt?

8:46 am

BzznBea

Yes, I just take scraps and sew them on a muslin foundation. I've been sewing them on the diagonal. Then square it up to 8.5".

8:46 am

MollyL

It's a mystery

8:47 am

BzznBea

They give you the pattern and the directions but you don't know what the end quilt will look like,

8:47 am

MollyL

No wait, it is a quilt made by Nancy Drew

8:47 am

hokie carla

a mystery quilt is you get the fabric and they give you instructions on how to cut it, then each week or month they give you a clue for sewing the blocks and then when all the clues are done, you have a finished top

8:47 am

MollyL

Nancy Drew and The Mystery of The Crazy Quilt Pattern

8:47 am

MLFAN17

that's really ineresting

8:47 am

MLFAN17

interesting

8:48 am

hokie carla

from my experience with this one, you should finish one before using your stash with the pattern because this one ended up a little busy since I picked stuff before knowing how it would go together. but it's blues and flowers which my mom likes.

8:48 am

chrisk

Yes Bea - I am getting lots of stitching done. Mostly wool appliqué - I took what was supposed to be a lap sized quilt and turned the individual 8 squares into wall hangings to give as Christmas gifts. I'm also working a wall sized piece that is all wool.

8:48 am

BzznBea

My string quilt is down in strips of brights...pinks, greens yellows, oranges.

8:49 am

hokie carla

I have one from 2019 that I haven't even started and I wasn't in the FB group so I don't know what this finished pattern looks like.

8:49 am

BzznBea

I figured you were doing your wool applique, chrisk.

8:50 am

MLFAN17

hokie in the fb group who chooses the pattern everyone works on?

8:50 am

BzznBea

Carla, some of your blocks might be the wo8.80.

8:51 am

hokie carla

ah, they are. :D thought it prob had that tile and ended that way but wasn't seeing it

8:52 am

MLFAN17

oh geez i wasn't even thinking even though i knew the last two letters were there

8:52 am

MLFAN17

nbt/nbs

8:52 am

hokie carla

I have a king size Kaffe mystery quilt top almost finished and I had to use freezer paper to square most of the blocks up they were so wo5

8:53 am

hokie carla

just one w left now

8:53 am

chrisk

The big piece I am doing is by designer Maggie Bonanomi and is titled Tavern House.

8:54 am

MLFAN17

what time from do the quilts have to be done in?

8:54 am

BzznBea

Carla, do a pinterest search for string quilts and you will see what I've been working on. I may even do another one in red, white and blue.

8:55 am

hokie carla

I will have to check it out!

8:55 am

MLFAN17

bzz for the red white and blue quilt what size would it be?

8:56 am

hokie carla

well, a lot of people finish them as soon as the last clue comes, mlfan, but this one is from last year.

8:56 am

BzznBea

chrisk, that is a wonderful pattern. I love the primitives.

8:56 am

MLFAN17

hokie ohh

8:57 am

BzznBea

I' m not sure how big it will be, mlf. I guess as big as I want to make it.

8:57 am

chrisk

yes - there are a couple of wool appliqué groups on Facebook that I belong to that are primarily primitives. I really enjoy doing them and they are a great stress reliever.

8:59 am

BzznBea

I need to get ready for my grocery outing...See me move...ug!

8:59 am

MLFAN17

bzz don't go too crazy lol

8:59 am

10:29 am

hurshy

10:33 am

MollyL

I'm sorry a cat was snatched by a bird. I thought it was the other way around.

10:33 am

hurshy

that's what made it so rude

10:34 am

MollyL

The birds finally got mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore

10:34 am

Fantastic, Nan!

1:43 pm

welki

hi folks

1:43 pm

cybernan

hi welki

1:44 pm

welki

nan, i just volunteered to work on this - don't know if you'd like to participate, but here's the link:
https://tinyurl.com/ybq8fc5g

1:45 pm

welki

(it's volunteering for covid-19 tracing/tracking in canada - flexible hours, work from home)

1:48 pm

cybernan

how many hours/day, welki

1:50 pm

welki

not sure, but there are part-time positions

1:51 pm

cybernan

are you working on line?

1:51 pm

welki

they asked for preferences, morning, afternoon, evening, off-hours, so not too many, i'd think - you could ask for full time

1:52 pm

welki

i just submitted the application, haven't heard back yet - it's work from home, so there's probably online work, maybe some phone work

1:52 pm

cybernan

lol -- I wouldn't mind doing a couple of hours a day -- but don't think I could manage more than that with everything else I need to accomplish each day --- I'm probably a lot older than people they are accepting anyway

1:52 pm

welki

you can apply for 3, 6, 12 months

1:53 pm

welki

so you're not golfing this year?

1:53 pm

welki

(and we're about the same age, i think)

1:54 pm

welki

i miss volunteering at the animal shelter, have always felt a need to give back to the community - this sounds pretty good, and valuable

1:54 pm

cybernan

just the occasional game - getting to be too much of a fair weather golfer! Not golfing right now because of covid-19

1:55 pm

cybernan

have just finished sewing 8 masks for family members

1:56 pm

cybernan

have to find some elastic before I make more

1:58 pm

welki

it's hard to come by - the gals who sew in quantity here are having a hard time, too

1:59 pm

cybernan

love the icon, btw

1:59 pm

welki

you don't have to use elastic, you can make ties, even out of t-shirt material

1:59 pm

welki

ty

2:01 pm

cybernan

yes - in a pinch I will, but like elastic crossing over the head better -- problem is, that style uses 26" per mask

2:03 pm

welki

i have no idea what good pricing would be on elastic, but looks like amazon has some

2:09 pm

just checked the volunteer website out -- I think they want more than I can offer.

2:18 pm

cybernan

could do some computer work, but I wouldn't want to go out into the community. We are in the highest risk group both by age and by underlying health conditions.

2:25 pm

Hi all! I just signed in. Got a message saying there was a data breach on a site or app that exposed my PW. It recommended me to change my Babble password. Did anybody else get that same message when they signed into Babble today? This never happened to me before.

Wow! It accepts wo4/12 as superlative,but not the da4/9

3:01 pm

3:29 pm
