This is the quilt I made for NorBanaquilts. If you go back to the one she made for me you can see we were thinking alike. She is having camera/computer problems and asked me to post a picture. I am really proud of this one....all of the corner squares matched up perfectly.

Very pretty and great job!

Very pretty! :D

cjaye: That really pops with that black border. Beautiful. Don't you love it when the points match up so well.
I know, just keep practicing. . .

thank you, I didn't embroidery the panel...our guild use them for the backs of our quilts for the soldiers.

I love that, beautiful!

Carol-Thanks for posting the pic of my little beauty. I have it hanging in my office and everyone has fallen in love with it!

kwiltkrazy 07-20-2010 09:59 AM

Cjaye, your flag quilt turned out wonderful. Lucky Norbana. I really like the intensity of it.

kwiltkrazy 07-20-2010 10:01 AM

Norbana, I love your new avatar, beautiful!

Actually, there was a 1.5 inch dark red inner border with a wider navy border. For some reason my camera just picked it up as a wide black border. I'm glad it was well received and I was pleased with the way it turned out but I like NorBana's more muted version just as much.

kwiltkrazy 07-20-2010 01:46 PM

Cjaye, I just went back and looked at Norbana's quilt , it is very nice but yours is very nice too. They show the differences in your personality, diversity is the spice of life. I like them both very much, hers is soft, and yours is vibrant. They are both very special.

oksewglad 07-20-2010 04:33 PM

These quilts are all so special because they are made by special people! Cutting backing and batting for laparshall's tonight!

laparshall 07-20-2010 05:52 PM

Oksewglad: I have the pieces cut out for your quilt. I have it all packed and all ready to go on retreat with me on Friday. I have another project that I must work on for a 7/26 deadline, while I am there too, but this DQ will be my relaxing and fun sewing.

Lucky you-- a retreat! Get the 7/26 deadline done first for sure! Kwiltkrazy was so patient and waited until mid July for her June quilt. Sounds like you and I are 2 of a kind; if it wasn't for the last minute nothing would get done. LOL G

I'm glad you liked it, Chrys.

I had just gotten a new brother sewing/embrodiery machine, so the quilt label was my first attampt at using the embrodiery stuff. Learnd alot about embrodiery from that little square.

I'm sure my lables will get better!!

yorkiemom 07-21-2010 05:35 PM

I received a WONDERFUL little quilt from RoseOfsharon today. It will go perfectly in my sewing room. I will post a picture in the next few days when things calm down. I have out of town company (including my 8 mo old granddaughter) and right now I can't find anything in my house (expect an assortment of teething rings :)). Thank you Sharon- you are a great partner!

I got my doll quilt from sewnsew (Pat) yesterday :D I LOVE it, it is sooo adorable, and even has little heart shaped buttons on it :D.. fighting the 8 yr old for it lol
she also sent some of the fabric from the backing to make a pillow to match :D
thank you sooo much.


now for bad news :( due to flaring health issues, i will not get hers done by the deadline :( i am really sorry. right now i have half of the hand quilting done, and half of the binding closed. I have felt too bad to do much the last couple of days, but will be back on it asap :D I hope you will like it at least half as much as i love yours :D I completely botched the themes though :(

isnt this adorable? see the little heart buttons? :D

kwiltkrazy 07-21-2010 06:58 PM

Tanya, hope your feeling better soon. Love both of the quilts.

Janis 07-21-2010 09:15 PM

Love the little quilts!!1 Who said you botched the themes? Yours could be 'summer fun' with the flowers, and the grass would be the golden brown if there wasn't any rain. Just think out of the box, and it will fit. And anyway, the themes were optional. Your little quilt is very pretty and would be loved by anyone even if it doesn't fit a theme.

MistyMarie 07-21-2010 09:33 PM

The one I am quilting right now does not fit the theme, but I am hoping my partner will like it. I am doing a bunch of stippling and having issues right now, so I am taking a break. I hope to have it in the mail soon!!!

kwiltkrazy 07-21-2010 10:12 PM

I agree Janis I think Tanya's quilt is beautiful, it's so peaceful, calming and soothing.

Quilt4u 07-22-2010 02:42 AM

That is so cute.

TanyaMas 07-22-2010 07:56 AM

Im aiming for only about a week late. :D Since its my first one, I didnt want anyone thinking I forgot or just flaked out when the 30th arrives without me getting it mailed by then :D

sapdoggie 07-22-2010 08:13 AM

It will be wonderfully received :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
