Death by Quilting

Cabana Boy Challenge - Day 2 & 3 Highlights

On day 2 at approximately 2:55 pm EST  we had a tri-multanious announcement (yes that IS a word .... a secret agent word thank you very much for asking)

THREE... count them ... THREE Special Agents COULD have launched their weapons Saturday Afternoon.  Janet was DONE, Tammy and Cindy announced ALMOST DONE....   these are MIGHTLY determined agents.... they make me proud (tear rolling down my cheeks... ok... enough of that)

 

Check out this 'weapon' with the Cabana boy and Secret agent on the quilt by Lollydo! (you know ALL secret agents have handles .... I can't keep them straight... don't tell)

May your targets be sewing like mad women to get their weapons out the door before they are 'hit'... as you never know how the post office will do.

We had some OTHER goings on at the Forum..... some Cabana Boy sightings... these 2 Smexy dudes belong to Janet... she is SO HOT she needs not ONE but TWO Cabana boys to handle ALL her needs... oh.. did I SAY THAT????

And NOT to be out done... Donna found the ENTIRE STOCK of Cabana Boys in her town and hired them ALL.. even one in TRAINING! (not bad Donna... not bad at ALL... )

Whew... it's getting warm in here!!!   More weapons are launching today....I will have to check the count....

Cabana Boy Challenge - Day 1 Highlights

Master Agent Sloan reporting in on the events of the Cabana Boy Challenge on Day 1

First we had a LOT of ill spys... their bosses mostly did not let them go home... but Agent Margi just told them she was heading out.. Tammy took her rotary cutter and mat to work and her bosses were rooting her on at the office (we all want THAT JOB!).  Janet had to dodge secret agents and customers all day to get in just a bit of sewing in the shop... and Donna is plotting a secret attack (while sitting at her office desk).

There was even a trip to the 'Spy Supply Store'.. oh I LOVE THAT!!!!

Lynne showed us her starting layout... panel in the center, yellow and teal on the right and rickrack were in her kit. She has added the rest to work with. Luckily it is now the weekend and hopefully most of our spys have time!

Agent Cindy was trying to get over the fact her MIL thought the Yard Boy would make a FABULOUS Cabana boy (which Cindy didn't seem to agree with).. AND that her Huzbin was voting for the cat (what is it??)...To top it off she locked herself out of the house and without a Cabana boy had to wait for huzbin to let her in.... I think she promised a photo of her with the cat..but her fingers were crossed behind her back.. you can NOT trust a Secret Agent!

but despite all that she DID get work done... here is part of her weapon in progress!

There has been some HEAVY discussion as the style and type of Cabana boy they need to find. A second prize will be given for the best photo of the spy with her 'Cabana Boy'. 

Tammy told us ' My Cabana boy will be back on Tuesday but he is wearing his fur bathing suit its snowing where he is now!!!! "... she lives in Alaska!!

And Lindaski is concerned there are no Cabana Boys in Montana... except we have heard there are cowboys... maybe they'd trade jeans for swimming trunks for a photo op?  Real name is NOT necessary  

MHorses(her Secret Agent handle) got REALLY far on her project... isn't it awesome? I want it!

Come on over to the Forum and root on your favorite Secret Agent while she tries to win back her Cabana Boy!! 

And see the other photos HERE

Back for Day 2... i expect a lot more quilts will be showing up this weekend!

  The Cabana Boy Challenge starts on Friday the 29th

... woot woot!

Here is the plan
--At 9AM est Friday the 29th, I will load up the Directions for the Cabana Boy Challenge on the Cabana Boy Game page

--Players find your TARGET at the Yahoo group in the FILE SECTION. You ONLY Need to go here if you are a player.. and we have a force of 18 for this game.. AWESOME!

--The Game Chatter is going to be held at the Forum this time. We welcome ALL Spectators!! You do not need to log into yahoo to be a spectator, just come hang out at the forum and read all the silly AND wicked goings on as this group fights to get their Cabana Boy BACK!

And cheer on your buddies .. your favorites... send support and tips, and tricks!

--During the game load photos to our Game folder at Flickr.  We want to see photos of your project in progress, the 'special prize photo' and your final project photo. An occasional photo in your forum post is great, but hard to find them later.. so put the important ones at the group site and just tell us in the forum they are there.

 There you go... Game time is 9am EST.. be there... or face the fact that you maybe not get your Cabana boy back in one piece.. and they do look MUCH better in one piece don't they?
