S&S I found some adorable PPed blocks for your row. Perfect in fact, so your middle block will be made up of 4 little blocks together. Washed some of the fabric last night.

Hi Booklady, I love your rows as the pics do not do justice to them. I sewed yesterday and did one block, used 1/2 sq blocks from a swap and it is so cool. I also started a second block but its a work in progress and will wait to see if it ends up as I think it will ha ha more later. Robbi

Well I pulled out the patterns for Robbi's blocks today and realized they WEREN"T PP patterns, so I learned something new today because I converted them to PP, so now I can start sewing on them tomorrow

Short an Sweet 05-10-2011 02:39 PM

Hi Ladies, just touching base, making sure everyone is having fun working on their rows, I am really enjoying seeing them with more rows added on and seeing different peoples interpretations of the "themes". Don't forget, if you have any problems or have to mail a little late just make sure you notify the person you send to and me and we can always work with any issues that come up. Robbi, I will have at least 1 maybe 2 of your blocks done by the weekend and will post pics as I go.

Short an Sweet 05-15-2011 11:50 AM

well I started my middle block for Robbi's row and got it halfway made and realized the size wasn't going to be correct, so today I am resizing ALL of the patterns and I will try again tomorrow to get at least the middle block made lol

craft phanatic 05-15-2011 12:38 PM

S&S I made a quarter of one of your blocks so far. This week I will get more done.

craft phanatic, I may be a little late with my row (so what is new??!!!) We are in school until the 9th and the end of the year is very hectic for me (Senior class sponsor . . Graduation! and the librarian . . all items back and organized to close it down). I'll keep you posted.

Okay, just send it as soon as you can. I have been working 7 days a week since the holidays and it looks like all summer will be the same so I have to fit it in when I get a few free minutes.

I know it's been a long time coming but here are pictures of the first 2 blocks for Robbi24 row. The other 3 blocks aren;t quite so piece intensive so they shouldn't take as long. I hope you like them Robbi. the block is called a Poinsettia Star.

Poinsettia Star - it really is square, it just looks off because it's hanging on pins lol
[ATTACH=CONFIG]208510[/ATTACH]

there will be a green wreath with a red bow on each end and gold bells with a red ribbon in the middle

k, here is the final block, I still need to trim it to 12.5 and stitch around the applique but this is the middle block, once I get them sewn together I will post a picture of the whole row

Christmas Bells, this is a combination of applique (my first) and fabric painting (only to hilight the bow and the leaves)

Robbi24 06-11-2011 06:07 PM

Wow so neat, please sew them together and thanks again with the trees it is going to be so cool .

Just checking to see how everyone is doing? Is everyone going to be ready to mail by Wednesday, if not please let your person and me know. I will be cutting it close, but I put the last block together upside down and only have one shot (out of one of the fabrics) to fix it lol if I don't make it by Wednesday it will go put by the weekend. But I am still shooting for Wednesday!!

Short an Sweet 06-12-2011 05:52 PM

Craft, I get yours next, do you want to see pictures? and do you want your rows sewn or basted?

craft phanatic 06-13-2011 08:25 AM

S&S, you can sew mine together and I would LOVE to see pics!

Short an Sweet 06-14-2011 02:04 PM

k I'm just going to say I will be mailing late, probably on Saturday. I have been trying to get it ready for tomorrow, but I guess I am rushing it to much because I have had to rip out the last 2 blocks 3 times on the one and twice on the other, I keep putting them together either backwards or upside down, lol and it REALLY makes a difference in the block

saritabee 06-15-2011 12:04 PM

I'll have it DONE by today, but I'm not sure when I'll actually be able to go to the post office. Saturday at the very latest, possibly tomorrow.
I finally got a new router, so I'll even be able to load and post pictures! *grin*
I'm actually going to be moving middle of next month, so I'll have to get the new address to whoever mails to me... it's Robbi, isn't it? I don't have the box close by.

craft phanatic 06-15-2011 12:08 PM

Its not me. I send to Robbi.

Craftphanatic, I am taking your next rows to the post office this morning! Can't post pics as saritabee doesn't want to see her blocks! IMHO, they're looking good! Enjoy.

Short an Sweet 06-20-2011 02:37 PM

Received craftphanatics row from Sari, what can I say, WOW beautiful row, lol none of the fabrics I bought will go with it, so I guess when I get paid Wednesday I get, I mean HAVE to go fabric shopping, and I will be taking the rows with me so I can pick the colors lol

Ooooo, thanks for the reminder. I think I will put a big note on it so I don't forget and post a pic when I am done. I can't wat to see it because I am having a hard time thinking of what to do with her theme. I have a nugget of an idea but I need to see if it will look right.

Hey, how cool is that! I didn't even notice that it was the same but I did think to myself how wonderful it all flows together. I sowed it to my husband and he is impressed with how it is turning out also!

LOL I actually have that one also I was using it on another block

Short an Sweet 06-20-2011 05:17 PM

well I had to go to Hobby Lobby to get the fabric to finish Robbi's luckily they still had it but it was a DARK version on top but I peeked through the layers of the bolt and the shade I needed was on the bottom, so she unrolled it to get to the one I needed, how sweet was that.
so while I was there I also got some new for Craftphanatics, I still have to get some of the lighter blues...
