Based on some of the themes I even have some ideas bouncing in my head when the respective rows get to me.

i think that i am going to pass out before the first row/medallion arrives in my mail.....my iron died last week; had to replace it...taking the sewing machine into the hospital for a physical...need it to be in tiptop shape for the rounds :-P

The center row was done by Jacquie in Scotland. She does amazing applique work. My theme is teapots and teacups. When she added my row, she actually added lace to it to look like a lace doiley or tablecloth. When I get mine back I will post a pic for you.

I posted earlier (see "whiney whiner") because I got so frustrated cutting up my fabric for my row! I completely butchered a very pretty fat quarter, oh, well, I guess it was not meant to be. I found some very pretty fabric in my stash that I had to switch to. It is going to be beautiful! I can't send pictures right now because I am at work and all my fabric is at home... darn! I'd rather be sewing. I hate it when I get all excited about sewing something, then I have to go to work! This is what keeps me in fabric money, LOL! How is every one else doing making their rows???

I've been drawing and redrawing on graph paper. I broke down and ordered a fat quarter collection that I've been drooling over for a long time. Hopefully it will arrive this week and then this weekend I'll be busy cutting and sewing. I can't wait to start seeing some pictures of the rows.

You really are in the middle of the exciting part....designing, planning, experimenting....then the wonderful, artistic, creative part of stitching it all together

my sewing machine is in the "hospital" today for a checkup. want to make sure it's in tip top shape when all the rows/medallions come my way.
