Ich frag mich heute schon den ganzen Tag: wie konnte mir das passieren???? Das ist irgendwie so typisch für mich, obwohl es gleichzeitig so gar nicht meine Art ist. Wovon ich rede? Ich habe mich im Januar (bitte kein Gelächter) für einen Sunbonnet Sue Swap angemeldet, und auch Anfang des Jahres einige Übungsblöcke appliziert... dann geriet das Ganze wg. diverser anderer Zerstreuungen etwas in Vergessenheit (ich hatte ja noch so viel Zeit) & ich dachte, bis zum 31. Dezember ist ja noch ein Weilchen hin. Dachte ich heute Morgen auch noch...bis ich dann im Forum nochmal genauer hingesehen habe. Aaaaaarrrrggghhh! Abgabetermin ist der 1. Dezember...und der ist schon am Montag....{¿|¢¶“¡å≠øπ•ƒ∂‚å} !!!! {Übersetzung = stellt Euch ein kleines, weibliches HB-Männchen vor wie 
es in die Luft geht} Wie kann man denn fast ein ganzes Jahr lang felsenfest von einem falschen Abgabetermin überzeugt sein? Naja, jetzt werde ich, statt den Geburstagsquilt meiner Cousine zu quilten(Foto kommt nach), wie eine Verrückte applizieren, applizieren und ...ach ja: aplizieren. Peinlich! Drückt mir mal die Daumen, dass ich die 17 Blöcke rechtzeitig schaffe.Und jetzt zu erfreulicheren Dingen & zu dem, was Euch eigentlich interessiert ;o):

die Fat Quarter bald ihr eigen nennen darf. Es tut mir leid, dass nicht Euch allen ein Päckchen schicken kann...ich arbeite aber daran & werde demnächst mal Lotto spielen ;o).
I ask myself the whole day: how could that happen??? This is so typical for me, even though at the same time I'm not like that. What I mean? I've signed up for a Sunbonnet Sue Swap in January (please, please, don't laugh!) & in the beginning of this year I practised Appliqué on several blocks...then I somehow 'forgot' about it because I always thought that December is soooo far away. Well, I decided to start with my blocks next week (because of other commitments) thinking I would have plenty of time to get ready until December 31st. This is what I thought until this Morning as I re-read the thread on the bulletin board. Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrgggghh! The swap is due on December. 1st...and December, 1st is Monday
....{¿|¢¶“¡å≠øπ•ƒ∂‚å} !!!!{= insert me hopping up and down with a red face} How can anyone be convinced of a wrong dead line? Well, now I'll appliqué, appliqué and ...appliqué- instead of quilting my Cousin's birthday quilt {photo coming soon}. So embarrassing! Please, keep your fingers crossed that I'll have all 17 blocks ready in time. And now to the things you really want to read - my little giveaway is now closed and I've picked the winner. O.K., without further ado I announce that the wonderful, amazingly productive
soon owns the little bundle of fat quarters. I'm so sorry that I can't send of a parcel to everyone...but I'm working on that & I'll soon play lotto ;o). Sherri, please send me your snail mail address so I can send you your little prize!
Thanks for stopping by,
Julia

I think someone's going to have some very sore fingers by the 1st December, good luck getting the blocks finished!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Sherri for winning those lovely fabrics :-)
How could you...lol...oh my ...sore fingers it is...;o) I wish you all the luck in the world...!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Sherri!!! Congratulations... ;o)
Hey Juilia! Oooooohh! I do things like that to myself all the time - like signing up for two swaps that were due in the middle of the pre-Christmas busy time, then also ending up with a workshop sample deadline and a magazine project deadline - EEK!! Do you feel encouraged to hear that I've crossed all but one of those off my list and I should get that done tomorrow? - so there's hope for you! But I don't think you'll be sleeping much between now and Monday! Tee! Hee! Hee! Happy stitching - Bear Hugs! KRIS
ReplyDeleteOh Julia, I'm glad I'm not the only one that waits till the last possible minute!!! Not that it was on purpose of course!! You poor thing, good luck on getting so many of them done! You'll actually probably amaze yourself!!! Sometimes a deadline like that really gets you going! Try to make it fun though!!
