Dear Sweet Butterflywing sent me my first squishy! And it isn't just FQ's, y'all, it's yardage. And in one of my favorite colors!

Thank you BW, that was WAY too generous! But I'm as giddy as if I'd had champagne! You are too, too kind!! Hugs, hugs and more hugs!!!

LUCKY GIRL!!!

Aren't I though! :D :D And I just found the PERFECT pattern to use them in. It's Great Ball Of Fire, in the Sept/Oct issue of Quiltmaker.

Aren't squishys just the best day brightener ever! Great Fabrics by the way!

That's beautiful! It sure would make a pretty with that fabric!

Great fabric!! You must be very special to Butterflywing. Please keep us informed on what you make with that fabric, it'll be beautiful.

Oh very pretty

Pretty

Great squishy and lovely fabrics. The quilt you have chosen is just right too.

Wow, what a great squishy. BW is awesome...can't wait to see what you do with the fab-fab! (that's fabulous fabric for short)

Oh bw is just the best! :D

And that pattern is luvverly! What you waiting for? Get on with it, girl! :D

EDIT Just had another look at the pattern and it's PP??? :shock: :shock: :shock: I'm sooo scared of that! :shock:

Great squishy! Have fun. :D

Yup, bw IS the best!

I'm waiting until I have my October Doll Quilt done!!!

And PP is not hard. Trust me, if I can do it, anyone can. And THIS pattern will not be mini, so I can easily remove the foundation papers! :P :P :roll: :roll: .

If you can do (shudder) needle-turn (shudder, shudder, making a cross symbol), you can do paper piecing!!

Great squishy!

Heh Kathryn, there is a tute on the board, well two. The first one by Jette is a little difficult for a first attempt, but look at the one by Yvonne, now thats a great one to start with. You will love it when you get the hang of it believe me.

Well I have a couple of lonely evenings as Hans is away so I might give it a try! :D Been working on the Baltimore, nearly done but it was a really fiddly one. Gai - if you can do teeny tiny PPs ( :mrgreen: ) you CAN do needleturn - hey, if I do PP you SHOULD do needleturn! Only fair! :D

Oh wow... that is such a pretty green. Nice going butterflywing. Squishes just make you giddy don't they?

Pretty fabric....looked at the pic & just had to have it....so many quilts to make and so little time..... It's more complicated than what I usually do, but it's a challenge :) :)

Love the greens Gai, Can't wait to see what you make.

I'm new to some of the terminology I see on this board - what is a squishy??

What's a "squishy?" I'm new to this site and to quilting.
What's a UFO? WIP? Tute? This is a new language to me.
I am delighted to see that so many quilters are also animal
lovers (based on the photo on their messages).

UFO - UnFinished Object (I think... I know it's one of those projects that's been in your closet for years and you started it but haven't finished it or thought of it in months)
WIP - Work In Progress
Tute - Something you do on a horn (okay, I got the first 2... :lol: )

:lol: Lucy!

Tute is short for tutorial - check out that section on the board, there are some great ones there, posted by our members.

A squishy is a package of fabric sent either by one member to another (we're such a caring, sharing bunch :wink: ) OR fabric ordered by mail!

Great squishy, Gai. (:D :D I'm sure you wouldn't be happy with any of it, so let me give you my address.**) I really love those greens.

Oh, makes perfect sense. Thank you!

That was soooo sweet. Love the colors too. Congrats and Happy quilting!!! :-) :-) :-) :-)

Have fun with your squishy!

Congrats!

What an awesome squishy!!! Love the pp pattern you picked out for it too!!! :D :D :D
