Thanks again,

These are the very beautiful fq's from Cindy (createfourpaws). There are 6 really pretty ones. Thanks so much Cindy. I really really like them.I might make either a tote or a table runner or a Table mat. Mary p.s. The green one on top with the rose is a card. In the picture it looks like fabric.

And no error message? I'll pm you

Janice McC 11-07-2013 09:52 AM

Hi there Marietta, sounds like the problem I was having when I first started trying to post pics. One, apparently if the board is busy, posting pix may not work very well but then, two, the problem I had was with my browser. I cannot use IE for posting pictures although it works just fine for a text reply. I now use Mozilla/Firefox and I understand Chrome works here as well. You might consider downloading a new browser and trying again. Good luck!

make sure the picture is sized correctly, when I forget to re-size the picture from original size that is what I get. took me a while to figure that one out.

There are the BEST fall fabrics out there aren't there? I can hardly wait to see what the next month brings. I want to sneak one or two from each of you, like the Indian corn fabric how cute is that! and the fall leaves, well need thosetoo and then there pine cones, and the sunflowers and the... just pop them in an envelope you wont even notice they are gone promise! super cute. I am absolutely going to do a theme quilt next year and use my fat quarters I receive to make a block each month.. we should have a challenge anyone want to join me?? come on .. you know you want to. Just one block you can add that to you schedule!

Love all of them, wanted to tell you that for our fq swap coming up, I think the one with the darling little kids dressed up for Thanksgiving will fit the theme, whatever it is...Winter, Christmas, Valentines, peace out psychidelics, blacks, reds, yellows, whatever, that fq fits the theme in my book!! And I bet you get my name to send to...and I have no problems with you, um, "re-gifting" that lil fq to me!! ;) Heck, I will even send you a different Autumn fq in trade...maybe even 2!

tlambing 11-08-2013 04:17 PM

Begging is unbecoming Kif! :p
Besides, I want it!

kiffie2413 11-08-2013 05:54 PM

I'm not above being "unbecoming"! :D Matter of fact, I have long said I have been married so long I don't have to look good anymore! Hubby just grins, says nothing...smart man!
I did find this is an Alexander Henry fabric, trying to see if I can locate some...Tho I love it here, sometimes it can be a bad influence on people like me, with no willpower where fabrics are concerned...

Elisabrat 11-08-2013 07:11 PM

if one has to have one minor flaw.. like not having fabric willpower it isn't all that bad? and hey my X said.. I didn't marry you for your looks. My current love of my life has never once said your pretty or your looking good what he says ready girls? he says I fell for you because your such a strong person not for how you look.. uh.. so I gave up on wondering if I had looks when I was 38. Apparently I didn't or I just picked men with no schmooze ability. and here I was thinking I looked pretty good back then. Heck, to look 38 again.. wow....so I look at beautiful fabric and it makes me smile, crooked smile and all and you know.. its not a bad thing at all kif..beauty is in the eye of the beer holder and darned if I pick non drinking men!

Kiff I'll check the store I bought that at and see if they have more. How much would you like, dear. :D

Also I received these beauties from sewellie. My prayers are with you Miss! You're right the cream one looks like pie crust. :D

sewellie 11-08-2013 09:40 PM

I received the loveliest FQ's from my friend, SheriR. Kiffie2413. I can't seem to get the pictures posted, but I will keep trying. Can anyone tell me what size to make the pictures so that they post? I used to do it all the time, but now I can't get it done. Frustrating. I want to show off what I got and what I'm going to do with them. So, thank you again, Kan, you're the best. Also wanted to comment on BDawn's table cloth, I have one just like it. Bought it at the Salvation Army several years ago, paid $10. :)
Ellie

lawsonmugs 11-08-2013 09:55 PM

I open my pictures with paint. Then hit the resize button and switch the size to 25 % Have no idea what the size is but it will work then on here.Good luck

kiffie2413 11-08-2013 11:29 PM

Oh my goodness, Sheri, you will check for more of that darling fabric for me, really?? What a nice offer!! :) I would love 1 yard, but will take whatever. If they do have more, I want to pay you for it, and pay the postage. Um, see Tlambing, sometimes unbecoming begging works!!! :D

Ellie, I also open my pics with paint, go to resize, make sure pixel box is checked, put 640 on first line, second line auto fills, hit ok, then save it. It works fine so far.

Brat, I betcha your hubby thinks you are a pretty gal. I just think some men (lots of em) give compliments a tad backwards...like him saying he fell for you due to your strength. If that's the case, I know he has to think you're beautiful! You're one of the strongest people I know!! Ok, cue Hallmark card commercial music...;). My dh doesn't drink either...or hasn't in 30 years. I must say he always makes me feel beautiful, this is where that old saying "Love is blind" comes into play!! We both just have the same twisted sense of humor. Since we have been together since I was 16 and he was 18, then married right after I graduated high school, seems our humor works for us! Actually I tease and say we married for love, stayed married so there wouldn't have been a custody fight over our son, now that son is grown we stay together because both of us are so old and decrepit no one else would have us!! But truthfully he is my best friend...and he never says a word about my quilting addiction! He may give a side glance, or a lil "Sure you needed that honey" when I am showing new "pretties", but that's all. AND, I don't gripe about his fishing, hunting, woodworking, or working with our son on hubby's "real love", the 1967 Camaro he bought when he was 14.
In spite of my occasional grousing, life truly is good! Now I am going to hush before all of you gals are snoring...

Have to say that fq that looks like lattice pie crust has me hankering for pie now...just sayin'...

Elisabrat 11-09-2013 04:36 AM

yeah we have a warped sense of humor in this house too.. and it works for us .. mine stuck with me through the worst so I humor his idiot behavior when it hits him. :) and fishing I LOVE when he goes fishing, that is three whole quiet sewing hours.. when it snows or something I want to pout and kick things means no fishing. He is a doll and could care less if I quilt but interrupting me with some chat every 10 minutes kills me.

I do believe that does look like pie crust now that you said that. Power of suggestion or what???? pie is good I love a good piece of Cherry pie with vanilla icecream.. oh yeah reminds me of high school. Probably had it once since then but as a kid we would go to marie calendars and all get pie al la mode .. the boys loved it such big servings .. I bet you I have not had more than four slices of pie since then.. wow.. now I WANT SOME tooo. Kiffie I am sure my thighs will be thanking you for this one.. sigh.

BDawn 11-09-2013 05:37 AM

Love all of the fabric beautiful.
As far as good looks... When you look at beauty but it is flawed by ugly it just becomes ugly and you quickly want to be rid of it and if you look at someone or something that looks unappealing to you, you search first for something that is beautiful and if you find it you cherish it and keep it and continue to find all of its beauty. I personally prefer the latter.
sewellie: This was made by my Husband's aunt. I got it as a throw away and when I looked more closely at it I found where she had patched worn out areas on it and I think it was one of her favorites and became more special to me. Ever once in awhile when I see a patched area I visualize her mending it.
elisabrat... I love aprons as well and can't function without one on me with a tea towel or rag hanging in front.

Here are the many, many FQ's I received from WMUTeach. Love them. Thanks Linda. They are great. You were so generous. I really appreciate it.

Grandma Peg 11-09-2013 05:53 PM

Received some beautiful fat quarters and 1/2 yard of scarecrow fabric plus a pumpkin from SheriR. Hopefully tomorrow will be able to post a pic.

Elisabrat 11-10-2013 06:43 AM

Wow with so many many fat quarters you wont mind sending me that pumpkin fabric! its great and I have not seen that one love how the tops are such a fun green.. I think this is like going through the hancocks of Paducah catalogue. I want it all . each page is one of this and one of that and oh maybe two of those... if you haven't seen that catalogue I suggest you order one.. its so fun to poke through. I keep mine til the next time one comes out. I don't always shop there mind you but its a good place to see a lot in one spot. wonderful color combo ideas..

Can't ya just see a table topper made from them. Maybe a Dresden plate one.

sustraley 11-11-2013 04:06 AM

Or a Dresden turkey made from them.:thumbup: Yes, Elisabrat, that catalogue is wonderful to look at. Like a kid looking through a toy catalogue.

Elisabrat 11-11-2013 05:03 AM

funny you both saw a fan type of design with those fq's I saw immediately two different table runners the black and lights as one and the oranges and plaids another...
