First off, a wonderful name block from Cheri of Jovaliquilts. She wrote about making the block here.
It's worth mentioning again what an absolute blast this halloween noises Slither Eek Boo quilt is. I LOVE it. It is sooo fun. I would so happily make more than one of these quilts - you guys send blocks to me, they will get used. Maybe not immediately, but most definitely.
Thank you all so very very much. You made my day and it was already a great one. I got together with my quilting friends and quilted and chatted and ate food. yup, wonderful day.
While you are visiting Cheri, check out the fungly quilt her Project Linus group made. I love it and was so taken by the aqua and red sashing and cornerposts that I had to buy some fabric that color this last weekend.
I now have enough (more than enough!) name blocks to make a fabulous name sampler quilt. That is a project that is really high on my to-do list. I know I have a Sio (name block that is) arriving soon!
Kim B sent me my very first happy 4-Letter word block. Whee. I do not believe Kim has a blog (yet) - correct me if I'm wrong, Kim.
AND Kim sent me a MWA ha ha ha. Isn't that a fabulous evil laugh? And Rachael sent the slurp and the cackle. Aren't these all incredible? And they look so fabulous together.

I also got a couple of experimental letters. I love these blocks too. They're a great learning tool - how busy fabric can cause problems. Both of these Ms would be easier to read if they were completely surrounded by background fabric. But um, yeah, still hard to read.

I keep forgetting to mention this, but I got the results back from my thyroid uptake scan - I'm all healthy, no cancer. woohoo!!! I'm not the only one who is doing well: Pokey is doing fabulously too, though very cranky because she wants her tuna mush (with her medication in it) NOOOOOW.
I love those Halloween words!! People are being so clever about making the word look like the sound. Can't wait to see them all.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on your thyroid scan! That must be a huge relief.
The words are just wonderful Tonya, but I have to say, that last paragraph there, it just made my day!
ReplyDeleteFabulous news!
*hugs*

Glad my stuff made it :0)
ReplyDeleteNo blog for me but I am thinking about it...just scared it won't be as cool as all the good ones I visit.
got another word on the way tomorrow :0).
Happy Sewing,
Kim
"Cheri" is so cute in that fabric. Thanks for adding my blog to your list!
ReplyDeleteThese words are inspiring! No I'll be getting to try that "moan" before the week is over. It may take longer if I have to do it over, and tweak!
ReplyDeleteThe cackle is my bigtime favorite! The letters LOOK like a cackle!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI am doing Scream for the Noise quilt.

LOVE those words!! Fabulous. And Great News about the thyroid and dear Pokey. We are all celebrating.
ReplyDeleteCelebrating, indeed, for so many reasons! Good health, good fun, good pets, good TV and good quilting. What more need a day bring?
ReplyDeleteThe words are awesome, I especially love the cackle - but the news at the end, oh happy day! I'm so glad for you and Pokey!
ReplyDeleteWoo hooo about the thyroid and Pokey.
ReplyDeleteThose words are really looking awesome! I've started on Howl, and it's coming along!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the healthy scan! That is fabulous news.
Cheers,
Dionne
Great news about your and Pokey's health.
ReplyDeleteThat "cackle" is outstanding!
It's great news to hear you and Pokey are doing well!
ReplyDeleteLois
So glad your scan is clear - and those words are terrific
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear you got good news. All the variety in words are making itch to try more.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the clear thyroid scan--the best possible good news. Clean bills of health for both you and Pokey. Yippee!
ReplyDeleteLove all the Halloween-y blocks. That's going to be one fun quilt.
Wow...great words and letters in the mailbox and good news from the doc too! Bonus Day!!!! I think that calls for ice cream!
ReplyDeleteWonderful news about your thyroid! Those are some great blocks. There sure are some talented quilters out there!
ReplyDeletegreat letters, especially cackle and slurp. 4 inches finshed height? or width? it's going to be a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, what wonderful news for both you and Pokey - what a great relief that must be for all.
ReplyDeleteI love those 'words'. But now I'm intimidated! That "cackle" is totally awesome - literally. I'm in awe of Rachael's skill. I think I need to re-do my 'W', that looked so good last night! *sigh*
