QUOTE=buslady;5408432]Wanted due attention to both, there fore the separate post! LOL
My second pkg was from Amalya64. Her July DQ is great. Circles? I am affeared of them. LOL You did a great job! And I absolutely LOVE the denim pc with the vintage heads on it. That is going to be made into a purse. Maybe a Bow Tuck, maybe something else. I like to make purses. Thank you so much for the DQ I really love it. Can't wait to get all my DQ's hung on the wall in my new quilting room.
The first pic is the back side that she signed. The second is the front. Notice the beautiful Texas Pendant her dear sister made!! Tried to get a close up of it, but it reflects the flash and will not take. LOL I am not a photographer, though I do try!! Thank you Amalia.[/QUOTE]

For help with perfectly matched point (pin wheels and other things) check out any video by Eleanor Burns - she has the best tips on how to match seams and "smoosh" centers so they lay flat!

PM me if you want and I can share a few other tricks that quilters have taught me along the way. One will surely work for you.

Amalia, you very well could be right, at first I thought presidents, but then wasn't sure and I am sadly inept at history stuff! LOL It's funny, but as I get older I have more and more interest in history. Hmmmmmm! At any rate, I fell in love with the quilt and the fabric the moment I saw it!! I'd swap with you anytime!!! Hope you get your internet issues settled so we see more of you here. I have terrible internet at home, when my phone is working it works good, but the screen soooooo small for my aging eyes!! DH yells at me all the time for spending too much time looking at that tiny screen. LOL Hope you are well.

My dq was delivered on July 30 to Nancy.

Here is the darling little quilt I received yesterday from ctipton. It's so cute and I love the patriotic fabrics in it. Thank you so much Carol. (Of course when I went to take a pic yesterday, the camera battery had died - don't you just hate that)

Lynnie, just adorable!

Lynnie25, so cute! I see it's been hand quilted...nice!

Tah dah! I received my DQ from our fearless hostess Krystyna! It is so special to me. How did she know perfectly what fabrics to use I ask you??? We didn't talk about that, and the little kiddos she machine embroidered are adorable! I have taken pictures so you can see some closeups too. On the one hand though, Krystyna is a real stinker and she knows exactly what I'm referring too, don't you Krystyna????? LOL! In case you can't read the note on my little Amish doll, it says "I'm cold. I need a doll quilt." Hmmmmm. I can't wait to try a special jam that comes from beach berries that are "secret" and you can't cultivate them. Thank you my crazy partner!!! You hit a homerun with me!

Krystyna

You are so kind, Ronda. Sorry it looks like Betsy Ross's head is going to be snipped off with scissors!
And guess who is not in the August Amish swap? Couldn't even coax her with that poor freezing darling!

This is the DQ I made for my partner in England. Enjoyed making it and happy with the results Haven't heard from her since the 10th of July. I think she may have something going on and I wish her the best. Anyway I'm keeping this quilt for myself. I like it....lol
