Some others are LAQ=Long Arm Quilter
HSQ- Half square triangle ; FMQ= free motion quilting (done on sewing machine with feed dogs down and you just make random designs.) Hope that helps a little and others may add more.

What a wonderful idea! Sent a pm

Hi on Sunday pm: I looked in my stash, and again at the photo of the girlie print. Mine does not match, but am sending a cheater panel that makes a wall hanging organizer, like a shoe bag. Can use as intended or cut apart for a quilt. Also 3 co ordinating pieces. I bought these for my 11 y/o GD, and there is enough to share. Will ship out to you tomorrow. Have fun! Penny in K'zoo, MI

Hi Karie,

For those of you sending pkg will you please put your online name next to your name on the pkg this will help me know who sent want. Thank you everyone you have made a little girl very happy. We are saving all the envelope to open at once. But I wanted to be able to send you PM to let you know that I got it. That is the reason for the online name on the envelope.

THANKS EVERYONE.... WATCH FOR PICTURES IN THE FUTURE.
You have helped make this happen.

Hi Dotlette- Up at the very top of each page are all the categories on this board. See 'private messaages'. Click on that and it will take you to the page where you can send a private message to any member. I always copy the members name and then just paste it in the box so there are no errors. Hope this helps. :-)

Hi,

I sent out a package today before I read your message. Looks like Justeena is going to have quite a stash judging by all the responses, but I don't know how you can stand to wait to open them! Have fun.

Chele 06-07-2010 05:37 PM

Thank you karielt for inspiring. It looks like a bunch of fabic and encouragement is headed your way. If you need more, shout out.

Margie 06-07-2010 06:45 PM

I will try to have my package out the begginng of next week.

Quilt Mom 06-08-2010 04:32 AM

Yesterday I posted a small box of fabric with a letter to Justeena. It should arrive before Friday. I hope she can use it in her new endeavor. It sounds like she has a lot of quilting 'aunties' out here, ready to supply her with what she needs.

Thinking of that, maybe I should have included thread... :oops:

jacqstash 06-08-2010 04:44 AM

Sent package before reading this message - online name is jacqstash - package from Dracut, MA

Joeysnana 06-08-2010 06:00 PM

I didn't know how to send a PM or what it was a couple of weeks ago, but just messed around and this worked.
Another way to send PM is to double click on the name to left, next to the post of the person you want to send an PM to. It takes you to their profile. Then just click on sendPM. That is another way to be sure you have the right person.

dotlette 06-09-2010 06:06 PM

I sent mine out this morning. Hope you like it lol Dotlette

How on earth are you gonna keep from tearing those envelopes open as soon as you get them. It will be like Christmas for Justeena.

Quilt Mom 06-10-2010 04:34 AM

Whoops, Karielt. I did not put my board name on the package. I did put it on the letter I included, though. So you will know who it is from.

laparshall 06-10-2010 04:54 AM

I sent mine out yesterday. You are going to have just as much fun opening these little squishies with Justeena as she is.

Whoops, same situation as Karielt. Had hubby mail it today and he thought that is a really great idea. Justeena will have to check on a map how many states and countries samples are from. Taste of fabric from the different parts of the country will be interesting. Lots of opportunity to learning in the project.

karielt 06-14-2010 08:25 AM

I just wanted to thank:
Connie B from GA
Sharon M from KY

I'm not sure what your online name is but We did receive your pkg. I'll post pictures soon.

Thanks for keeping us updated! It's really interesting to see what states are participating in Justeena's adventure. :thumbup:

Quilt Mom 06-14-2010 02:28 PM

I hope there is something there from Nebraska. Post office delivery confirmation said it was out for delivery last week... ?

5 minutes later...
I just saw a PM saying you got it. I am relieved. I'll be waiting to see pics of Justeena, opening all her packages.

roseOfsharon 06-14-2010 02:40 PM

Sharon from Md.. "roseOfsharon" You are quite welcome! Always happy to help out when I can. :)

cjomomma 06-14-2010 02:55 PM

I hope mine got there. I sent several packages out the same day and the rest got theirs last week.

missgigglewings 06-14-2010 08:08 PM

You know what?? we should have sent her a siggie block with each pkg. Why didn't I think of that sooner?

That would have been beautiful! Still possible?

missgigglewings 06-15-2010 05:50 AM

I think so, one block in an envelope, one stamp?? Let's do it!

Oh wow that would have been a good idea too.

karielt 06-15-2010 06:48 AM

I just want everyone to know that this has already been an amazing thing for her and I. We have been trying to work around Justeena's sched. and we are now opening up eveything on Monday so watch for pictures online. I just want you to know you all have made this happen and this little girl is very blessed to have so many careing people step forward and help. I so look forward to including you in the journey.

Maybe it doesn't have to be a block. We can just send a signature strip and Justeena can make a piano key border using them with some contributed fabric, or add to a pieced backing. Karie, what do you think?

karielt 06-15-2010 09:05 AM

That sounds great too...
I just don't dare ask people to send anymore I don't want to put anyone out. Everyone has been so wonderful to help. :thumbup: :D
