You will LOVE it. It is so much fun getting that package each month. It's great when people post pictures because it gives ideas for future packages.

Are the pictures of the quilts on each of your messages (as your photo) quilts that each of you have made? If so, you are all pretty amazing.

You are my new cheer up coach! Cause you just made me feel ten feet tall!! I have to admit i have been playing around with different types of applique to see which one i like the best. And life has just got in the way other wise! But i have made a pack with myself not to (TRY NOT TO) hehehe buy any more kits or material for a while till i get some done, when i first started i went on a binge! I was a widow and quilting was going to be my new husband and so i bought me a janome 10001 and away i went taking a class here and there. And buy, buy, buy, lord you would think i was rich!!! I have so much my new husband (which i swore i was never getting married again) said i must have bought a whole quilt shop !! LOL LOL little did he know i had move parts when he wasnt looking!!!! What they dont know wont hurt them! Heck he has 4 gun safes full and more than wont fit!! BUt he has been good, he bought me a old feather weight and a custom table to go with it! ANd i didnt ask for the table I was shocked!!! These men can be good when they want to be!!!

He certainly sounds like a keeper! :) I like to do applique but am a beginner and am looking at different techniques. Like you, it had to be put off for a bit but I am looking to start it up again.

Hi Tammie. Bonni is right, you are the applique Queen. Your quilt is absolutely beautiful. I'd love to see close-ups of the individual blocks. I'd love to do an applique quilt that large. I've been doing baby quilts mostly. I started by hand, but moved onto machine. But then again, mine aren't that detailed.

Sounds like you found a wonderful husband 2. We're lucky if we find one, two is a miracle. You must be one sweet lady.

Tammi, tell the truth...how many safes to you have for your fabric? A girl has to protect her stash.

They are in the hidden compartments with the hubby's guns I bet! (kidding). hehe
