That's a very pretty quilt :D - so feminine - and loads of things to go with too!! Wow!

omak 11-06-2009 08:46 AM

WOW!
You hit the jackpot!
And, that dvseals is a gem!
Pretty cool to have someone thinking spring as winter is coming! I see that sparkling all year long.
That is the 4-patch one block wonder, isn't it? Good job!

Ms Grace 11-06-2009 11:26 AM

So I remember way back when we were talking about not knowing who our partner is this swap. We were encouraged to post pics. Here is my first little paper pieced block.

dvseals 11-06-2009 07:43 PM

omak 11-06-2009 08:49 PM

Chele said we can open them!! I won't be able to wait either!!

Janis 11-07-2009 06:39 AM

Help me again!!!!! I hit the 'unwatch' on the Nov-Dec doll quilt topic, thinking it would allow me to change the thing. I'm not getting notice on it, and was trying to change it. IWANT TO WATCH IT!!!!!!!! How do you reverse it when the thing says that at the bottom?
Thanks, Janis :}

Ninnie 11-07-2009 06:43 AM

Now that you have left a message, you should be back on the watch side!! lol

Quilt4u 11-07-2009 02:00 PM

Very nice.

amma 11-07-2009 06:29 PM

Oooo Quilt4u what a beautiful quilt!!! I love the fabric and pattern :D :D :D Wonderful job dvseals!!!

Shelanie what an awesome tree!!! I love the other piece laying beside it too!!!


Well...I don't think I would have to sign the label on my partner's quilt...she will know it is from me just by looking at it :wink: :wink: :wink: So I won't be posting any pics of it beforehand :lol: :lol: :lol:
Annnnd that is all I am going to say!!! :D :D :D

Esqmommy 11-07-2009 08:52 PM

HOLY COW!! Two hours away?? Maybe I'd save some money that way. Within two hours we have... Well, more shops than I can count. I have at least 8 within an hour. I have my favorites, of course, and a couple of those I haven't gone back to. But I try to do what I can to help stimulate the economy, lol.

I visited two shops while on vacation in FL and picked up some things for this swap. Now I'm working on getting caught up on everything - the price to be paid for going away. This thread has really grown, I've got some reading to do!

Other than Walmart, the fabric store is 20 miles away and the LQS is 65 miles away - I wish I had the $ to open my own store!!! Wouldn't that be great?? :D

tlrnhi 11-08-2009 09:01 AM

I have one fabric store here that is about 15 miles away. The next closest one that I know how to get to is over 3000 miles away!

peaceandjoy 11-08-2009 09:12 AM

Yikes - I'm catching up on posts, while others have not only finished their quilt but put it in the post. Fortunately, I work well under stress...

So sorry, partner, no hints as to my progress as there hasn't been any! This week I have Wednesday off and will be putting the first border on the IRR I've joined. Then I'll focus on this project.

tlrnhi - 3,000 miles??!! Good golly, that's like going across all of the US!! I'd be in withdrawal.

tlrnhi 11-08-2009 09:17 AM

Yup, sure is! Love the post office too! lol

Hopefully soon, I'll be back in civilization!

sewjoyce 11-08-2009 10:40 AM

Am still working (and working and working) on mine :D :D

omak 11-08-2009 01:19 PM

Yeah, but TERRI has a Ben Franklin! <g>

NorBanaquilts 11-08-2009 01:42 PM

Lacelady 11-08-2009 02:59 PM

I still have to make a label and a special goodie to go with a little rag quilt that I just took out of the dryer. I have to give a work shop on making rag quilts for my quilt guild this month and thought a mini quilt would be fun to demonstate so I killed two birds with one stone. LOL. I was pleased with the results of three layers of flannel with 1/4" seams. I fussy cut the little ducks from the left overs of a larger rag quilt that will be one of my great grands christmas present this year. The mini quilt has 3" blocks. The larger quilt has 1" seams and has 10" blocks I used flannel for the tops and bottoms and a batting material inbetween. I am going to use the larger quilt also as an example and I have purposely left it partically finished to demonstrate how I sewed it together and clipped the seams.
