I'm good at coming up with ideas -- but not the best at taking charge. Here are some ideas:

*decide on a block size (12" finished?)
*interested members then start their design/stitching
+some members might be interested in making an id block
for personal use and to post on the board
+other members might want their id block to become part
of a larger quilt board block
*members post their personal use id blocks, or they post
"i'm in for the big one"
*hopefullysomeone from each state or county within state will
volunteer to organize how to gather blocks and complete
each quilt
+pm's can be sent with photos attached of finished blocks for
the state/regions organizer as well as on the main board
+pm's can be used to set up local quilt sessions for finishing
*a year-completion goal would be reasonable.
*quilts can compete in county fairs, state fairs, as well as the
quilt board gathering.
*after "displays" -- quilts can be auctioned at local charity
events

i was going to say, "that's my 2 cents." but -- it's more like "that's my 25 cents," because i got carried away.
am hopeful that these thoughts prompt others to post their thoughts.
judyjudyjudy (how am i going to think of an idea for THAT!!)

I'll make one! If you start another thread post the link here so we can find it!

dubib: thanks for offering to start a new thread. i don't know how to make one!!

Sorry about the long quote, but Judy, krystyna, olebat, etc: Let's start another thread topic with this idea so we won't take away from this thread? I think we will get a whole lot more response with a new thread topic. What do you think?

oops. i thought dubib was offering to start a new thread, but she might be offering to make a block. either way -- i don't know how to start a new thread. krystina -- do you want to start a new thread?

My quilting id is just my initials from my first, and middle name with my last name tacked on behind it. Nothing fancy.

my screen name is for my first chihuahua that i had inherited. she was honeybee 3rd. i loved that little dog. i inherited her after the lady i was caring for passed away.

A very late reply to this question. I was away for several days at a sporting clays shoot. Yes I shoot clays with the guys. I have achieved the rank of All-american. Kind of intimidating for some of them to handle. But i'm just out there to have fun with my DH. That is how I got my name Ane Okle.

My grandaughter's name is Lily, and she has me wrapped around her little finger. Hence, Lilyized...

My dearest friend (and fellow quilter) and I felt we needed pet names for each other. she is is Juliopolus and I am Paulswalia. Rather dignified in a classical sense, don't you think?

redpurselady 08-10-2011 07:05 AM

When I hit 55 I wanted to do something fun and decided I would only carry red purses from then on. I've stuck with it but it's getting hard when I see all the fabulous purses in other colors.

CindyLou is what some friends and my Dad called me. I won't comment on what my husband calls me;) Other than that, I am just plain Cindy!
Krystyna, sounds like your Mother was a very forgiving, wonderful woman! Love the story!
