Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Quilt Blocks: Please Verify Your Info

by | 44 Comments

This post is in: 

Three different people wrote to me about Quilt Blocks on Friday, so it must be time for an update!  :-)

Quilting fool is covering the cost of shipping as part of her efforts for Ukraine.

🐠

If you ordered a quilt block, please confirm that the information in the spreadsheet is correct.

If you gave me your name and not your nym, your initials are in parenthesis.

If the info for you is all good, please confirm in the comments, and then send me an email that includes: 1) your name, 2) your nym, and 3) your mailing address.  If you can format your name and address separated by commas, that will make it much easier for me to copy it into the spreadsheet I will give to Quiltingfool.

You will see that SOMEONE asked for quilt block #5, but I did not enter the name, and that ceece asked for a quilt block but I didn’t note which one.  (oops)

If you requested a quilt block but you are not on this list, or if any of your info is missing or is not correct, please make a note in the comments and also follow up with the an email detailing any changes.  Also include the 3 requested pieces of information: 1) your name, 2) your nym, and 3) your mailing address.  If you can format your name and address separated by commas, that will make it much easier for me to copy it into the spreadsheet I will give to Quiltingfool.

🐠

Close to 50 quilt blocks were “ordered”.  Some of the blocks are complete, but not all of them.

We’re not going to count votes and go with majority rule, but I would like to hear your thoughts on whether QF should ship the blocks as soon as all blocks are complete for a particular person OR whether she should ship them all at the end when everyone’s quilt blocks are complete.

I could argue it both ways in a debate – how fun for everyone to be getting theirs at the same time vs. I want my quilt block right away!

    I need to order my 3 quilt blocks.  Yikes.  Thanks for the reminder.

    AND:  I vote for QF shipping the orders as completed.  Why not?

  5. 5.

    No One You Know

    I’ll vote for QuiltingFool’s preference. Making all that stuff and donating shipping costs? Let the shipper decide.

    Thank you,  QF and WaterGirl and John, for a fun and so-positive contribution!

    zhena gogolia

    My info is correct. I don’t understand the instructions “separated by commas.” Commas after every word? Could you do a kind of XXX thing to show us how to punctuate it?

    Also, shipping however is easiest for QF.

  11. 11.

    GBinChicago

    All information is correct (I’m listed as GB). And whatever shipping is most convenient for Quilting Fool (probably taking everything to the PO at the same time rather than piece by piece).

  12. 12.

    WaterGirl

    In your case, I know your name and your nym.  But I don’t have that in my head for every single person, so it’s helpful to let me know up front.

    Hey WG,

    This is [your nym].  Everything looks good.

    Your Name, 123 Balloon Juice Lane, Bumfuck, KY 12345

    Ruckus

    My info is correct.

    Quilting fool is doing the shipping, the when should be up to her. I say whatever is easiest for her is fine with me.

  15. 15.

    wombat probabilty cloud

    Yes, the spreadsheet info is correct. My vote is to have Quiltingfool send whenever is most convenient for her: all at once, or in batches, or as individuals, whatever. Very, very grateful to her for doing this and I want to make the least amount of additional work for her possible.

    middlelee

    I say ship as completed so she doesn’t end up with piles of blocks all over the place (well she is probably more organized than I) but think it should be up to her.  Whatever is easiest for her.  It looks like she is having to make a freaking ton of them.

    I cannot wait to see mine in person and am happy to wait.

    And spreadsheet info is correct.

    Thanks so much QuiltingFool and WaterGirl for this enormous project.

  19. 19.

    Ann Marie

    My info is correct.  I’ll send you the info.  Thank you, WaterGirl, for handling all this and a big THANK YOU to Quilting fool for making all these and shipping them!  Whatever shipping is easiest for her works fine for me.

  20. 20.

    Leslie

    Am I the (LS) on your list? Thanks for the reminder; I just made my donation. I will send you an email. Oh, re shipping, whatever is easiest for QF.

    @SpaceUnit:

    Place mats (as is)

    Bibs (tie on using a couple of ribbons attached to the top two corners – think of how cute any baby [or lobster eater] would look in that)

    Two sewn together for pillow sham, tote bag or purse

    Framed on the wall

    Big pot holder (in the ancient times of my childhood most pot holders were either crocheted [inefficient] or quilted)

  25. 25.

    SiubhanDuinne

    My info as listed above is correct. And by all means, shipping should be at Quilting Fool’s convenience.

    Thanks to everyone who made this happen!

  26. 26.

    Tinare

    My info is correct and I vote that quiltingfool decides how and when she wants to ship. She is an angel for doing all of this.

    @WaterGirl: I’m probably going to try something similar. Framing can be expensive, and I can’t take it anywhere myself, but I did see somewhere a little contraption that was like a mini curtain rod with an attached cord that you could hang on a peg on the wall. Depending on the size, I might also just lay it over my pillow sham.

    @Alison Rose 💙🌻💛:   I don’t know how fancy you want your wall hangers, but Command Strips had some wall hangers that were tiny clothespins.  I’ve used them in my quilt cave to hang small quilted blocks.  The quilt blocks are fairly lightweight.

    I ordered them from Amazon when my local Walmart quit carrying them.

    WaterGirl

    I have address from 18 of the 30 people who are currently signed up for Quilt Blocks.  Not a bad response rate for the first call on a Sunday afternoon!

    Thanks to everyone who has already sent their information in.

    It’s not too late to order a quilt block if you have decided that you want one and haven’t contacted me until now.

  38. 38.

    Quiltingfool

    Hi, everyone, been working on the donation blocks today (I finished appliquéing Patron blocks, started on the Vinok (flower headdress) Cat blocks)!

    As Watergirl indicated above, you can click on my nym and be connected to my Etsy store, and from there you can contact me.  I get a notification on my email, which means I see your query fast!

    I will start shipping the blocks that are finished.  I made a bunch of blocks before Watergirl organized her spreadsheet, so they are ready to go.  I do have some extras that weren’t requested, but when I get all the current orders out, I will let you all know about those, just in case anyone is interested in donating.

    For folks who are interested in a custom quilt, I have been thinking of a different payment method than going through Etsy (for all of you jackals!).   I’m leaning towards PayPal.  I want to make sure customers are protected (and me, too!) in transactions.  If I sell to you guys through Etsy, they get a pretty big cut – and if I bypass them, I could pass the savings to you guys.  Is PayPal a good choice, or are there other better options?

    I won’t shut down my store, bypassing Etsy is for the folks here.

    Everything looks good and I just sent an email with my address.

    Shipping can commence whenever it’s convenient for Quilting Fool. It’s totally awesome that she’s doing this! And I’m looking forward to receiving the gorgeous kitty block.

    l3000

    All info correct.  No opinion on mailing: whatever is easiest for Quiltingfool if it makes a difference. Thanks for all the trouble and hard work. (I’d be happy to pay postage too.)

  41. 41.

    Brooklyn Dodger

    Info is correct. I’ll send an email. I’m ok with however shipping works best, and many thanks to you and QF for organizing and creating this wonderful enterprise.

  42. 42.

    Glidwrith

    Information is correct. Mail at QuiltingFools convenience. I’d already sent you my address, though not in the requested format. I’ll get around to it once hubby is done with the computer.
