Thanks for the warm welcome https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png
I'm loving hearing and seeing people's stories and seeing the beautiful quilts. ckcowl's story though: I have no words. What appalling behaviour from the instructor! I can see why that would sap your mojo. I suspect the best motivator for me in that situation would be revenge - as in, I'm going to figure this out to spite the instructor!!!. I managed to progress further with the handquilting on the tree skirt - I did 3 'snowmen' outlines, and now have 6 out of 8 planned Christmas tree outlines done. I plan on adding some stars in the other cream spaces - not sure what I'll do in the red yet... (will try to attach photo - difficult to show the quilting, even though the guidemarks haven't been washed out yet - I'm happy with the effect in real life though) |

The shop owner apologized and sent us home, next week we received a call saying the instructor decided not to come back- and she had taken all the money- the shop could not reimburse us.

Everyone started posting their June finishes and I got off my lazy butt and finished the blind stitching on the label for my "Quilt of Many Colors"
Dolly Parton for president! 70x90" - a generous twin size. Now - here is the question. I made it in a fit of Covid Anxiety (I know its not the only one out there) but I wanted to donate to charity. Specifically my local Woman's Shelter. 1) do I just call them up and say "hey I made this"? Or 2) do I try and sell thru eBay and donate proceeds. Yes I realize its my choice but there is a fundamental issue- cash will help more individuals but the quilt may send a greater message to the one recipient. So I'm open to hearing opinions. |
Rff, donate the quilt! It's more a piece of you. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/heart.gif

What a story, ckcowl! No wonder you kept putting it back in the drawer. Imagine what kind of impression that would make on a beginner quilter.
Very nice, Rff1010! |
Rff1010: I would say donate it. Very pretty.
Panchita: I like your outlines. ckcowl: Oh how sad. I have heard of The Cotton Theory but will need to look it up so I understand it. joe’s mom: Enjoy your new machine. |
That sounds like an awful experience, ckcowl! How sad!
Your tree skirt is beautiful, Panchita. I love the red and white combo. Great scrappy, Rcf1010! I would donate it instead of sell it. I think it would bring so much cheer and hope to someone who needs it. Congratulations on the new machine, Joe's mom. I've heard a lot of good about Jukis. I'm itching to start a brand-new quilt right now. It's so hard to stay on track with the UFOs! But if I start a new one, I know from experience that the UFO circle will just keep on going! |

My first UFO for June, which I think I've already mentioned, is the baby quilt for my first great grand, a girl, due in September. This was all made with fabric I acquired during the first few weeks of quarantine.
