I am finishing the hand-quilting on the border of a quilt made of hand-dyed fabrics that were done by myself and a couple of local ladies I was trying to teach quilting to in Vanuatu. We called ourselves the Port Vila Quilters and decided to make this quilt to raise money for our local Ambulance/emergency response charity. Since neither of the ladies even knew how to use a sewing machine, it was slow going even though I chose a simple pattern to piece. It never got past the cut-out stage and was put away when one of the two ladies passed away. I recently got it out when packing our house to move back to the States, and decided I needed to finish it. I am calling it "Remembering Violet" in honor of our friend, and am taking it back to Vanuatu with me in about 5 weeks where I will chair a fundraiser and either auction it, or raffle it. The other lady isn't aware I have done this, so I hope she will be pleased.

I am trying to start a project but can't find the magazine with the quilt in it...HELP Everyone...PLease!!!
I believe it was a Fall issue or early spring and I can't remember the magazine. It was on the cover and it was shades of dark, medium & light blue 1/2 square triangles...I am so sorry I can't remember for sure when it was but I do know it was on the cover. This is defitnately a SOS...I ahve all the material and I believe it was 2009 maybe summer/fall///Thanks everyone for checking for me....

Was it a magazine, or quilting book? Were there any other colors or identifying parts you can remember? I subscribe to several mags, but could use a little more description. Are you sure it was 2009?

I have a french braid that I am working on that needs a border, and I want to applique a vine of flowers on it, and I am working on a quilt that the designer signed the pattern for me. Its an applique sampler that is for the wall in my living room. The french braid is in blues and browns, and the applique is all batiks on a white background. It is a lot of fun. Can't wait till I have enough done to post pics.

Just received my first Quilt for Kids project. The fabric is adorable with dalmations and fire hydrants. Looking forward to starting the process tomorrow.

I am working on a storm at sea but am having a hard time because I bought my material without having a pattern and did not buy enough of each and then when I went to start it I could not find a pattern. I have since been given seveal patters or instructions but my already cut pieces are not matching up so I have had to put it aside so that I don't give up on it.

Dog Lover: You dogs are just beautiful. Getting ready to finish a quilt I Started for my niece in 1996 when she grad from HS. She recently grad. from Law School, so I need to get the lead out. CFIDS unfortunately rules my day. I am on a generic form of Ritalin for energy and rarely take it for fear of it losing its use. But, decided tonight, I was going to start taking it all of the time. I don't have an addictive personality when it comes to taking meds---now if was chocolate---a different story. :)
