Phew, happy we finally got our names, now to get started. I hope I don't disappoint Mamawalsh. She loves traditional and patriotic. Sounds like everyone is Happy, Happy, with their partner, so let the games begin. Off to look at patterns and fabric.

Well, I was listening to my gut at the LQS tonight - I saw a quilt and I said, "huh that is really a dude quilt... I think that's what Rodney needs" (true story and an exact quote of my inner monologue there). So I talked to the owner (who is a good friend) and we made a few tweaks to really emphasize the "dude" part. Anyhow... it is called Sea Glass and uses greens and sea-glass colored batiks from Timeless Treasures. Here is a picture (of questionable quality) of the fabrics.
*For the record, Rodney's request said, "Surprise me."

I am very happy 
this is my first swap, and what a great first swap this is going to be. My partner, Jldugas, is happy to get the dark red/ivory feminine quilt And I am going to have my mom pick up some lace at the martha pullen school when she goes, cause the pattern I found and this fabric will look stunning with a little lace insertion and edging. I'll get some photos soon, need to call my LQS about the manufacturer of the fabric. Need to load it up on my EQ7 so I know how much to buy of each Will post that when I get it.
Oh happy day!

Tammy (Tam...moo) and I are working together and will be sending photos to each other to figure out what is the correct fabric combo for each other so we are both dancing with joy about what will be made for each other. I know we will do smashingly well and well what a good job you did. Thank you Yosamitesa for all the hard work dividing us up. I know you had to work with allergies first and all the rest by who wants what and can do what.. lots and lots of work that most don't realize . it takes HOURS and you gifted us with your time. SMOOCH!!! (running she hates my kissing stuff something about eeewwww ).

mumukate - thank you; Mr. Beasley is a Great Peyrenees; he was to the vet yesterday to get his nails clipped and he weighs 126.2 lbs. He's kind of short compared to his breed standard but that's okay - he's a towny.
