Thread: Aaqi challenge for qb members (first annual?)

Almond, I like your little quilts and your display.

Another little quilt done. This is #3 called "Let's Sew". Measures 7 1/4" x 7 1/4".

I love that li'le machine! Darlin'!

Almond your quilts are soo cute!

I am a bit sad that because there are about a bazillion quilts and they don't get to them very quickly, my little quilt still hasn't even been photographed. I'm thinking when you send them in, it's months before you get to see anyone buy anything you made? I just need to chill!

I've wondered about that with so many quilters donating little quilts.

Cheer up RW. At the right time, it will get posted.

I'm cheery in my sadness! LOL! Didn't you see my smiley face? How are things in the Tri Cities today?

Is this OK to submit? Its about 8 x 9. Its 3D applique, crayons for the leaves (yes crayons...) and machine stippling. I didn't want to fill out the registration before I found out whether it is suitable.

sorry that is sort of a lousy picture. It is a rectangle........

Another lovely Almond.
RW--All the work is done by volunteers and I think AAQI has been inundated with quilts this past spring and it takes time to get the photos taken etc. It will happen. One of the big events is the quilts taken to Houston to the International Quilt Market in November. Last year 1500 quilts were taken to be sold. It really exposes the quilts to a "human" audience rather than internet.
If you are on FB you can "like" AAQI and "share" to let your family and friends know what you have been upto. And maybe they will inturn support the cause with a purchase.

JNCT14--looks like a little lovely! Here are the "rules" If the mini you've done fits the criteria then go for it!! (Which I think it does.)

Sorry, didn't see your smile! Could have been due to all the rain, wind, rain, rain, and wind in our area. Oh, and helicopters over our farm to keep the water off the cherry orchards. (almost constant for 3 weeks).
