Zigzag again...

Tonight I was able to go to the Charlotte Modern Quilt Guild meeting...yes!  I took a 2 hour nap, my husband drove me and I sat in the back with my sunglasses on.  I had a wonderful hour seeing friends and being inspired to sew...more.and even more....keep sewing.  So I did.  I came right home and after dinner, I made three more of the Zigzag blocks!!
I am not going to mess around with the placement now because that part makes me crabby, I am just making some blocks.  I have 15 done:)  Now I am on to the next thing.....Amy at Badskirt has a tutorial for the Japanese X block.  I have wanted to try that for awhile, but I have been busy...ha ha...Now, the CMQG is doing this block, for block of the month of September.  I am excited and want to try it tonight.  OK, maybe tomorrow night.

The fabric cure...treating the concussion...again

I am going back to Paris...not like Muggs...but in my dreams...Thx to Etsy store, BlijeOlifantje...today came these...a map of Paris:)
and, a 7 fat eight pack of Je vous en prie.....(You are Welcome in French) and some other words that I do not understand...help needed....
So, Muggs have a good time next week in Paris and I will have fun in Charlotte!!  Next comes a bit for my elephant collection:) 
 for my clothespin collection....ok, so I do not have a clothespin collection...hmmm  Gotta start somewhere...:)

 Here is a picture of my sister's big zigzag wedding quilt she is making for a friend...The white part has already been signed by friends of the couple.
 And, a problem for me and a question for you.  Below is the set of new pens that arrived from Amazon today.  The Pentel on the right are permanent fabric markers that I have been eager to try.  But, on the left are the Frixion that I thought I could erase with the iron.  It does not say that on the package, but on Amazon, they were listed as erasable  fabric markers...Help needed.  Are these the right ones, or should I return them..and for which pens...???
