Oh what a pretty quilt. I love the pink and green. I like the pattern too.

I just love the colors!

Tam...Moo,
I received the DQ you made me. I absolutely love it!!! I'm still working on yours. I was sick for 2 weeks and am a little behind. I'm so glad you like purple too. :) Thank you so much for my DQ. It's perfect for me! |
Well this was my first time making a quilt that wasn't a rag quilt and it was harder for me than I thought. My grandma (grammyj) who's been quilting for years helped me with the quilting and binding. I love makin the top but the quilting was pretty hard, I had a hard time making nice curves where I wanted. Thankfully, my sweet partner Patricia14 had been patient with me and doesn't mind getting a quilt from a newbie. I was upset at the imperfections in the quilting but once it was all done they were not quite as obvious. But oh my, I do not like doing binding! I'll admit my grandma did most of it because I wimped out early on, so I probably won't be signing up anymore for this swap :( I love the quilts but I'm still way too new to be doin them to swap. (plus I do home day care and I'm getting 2 new 2 month old babies in May so I think I'll be pretty busy for a while haha). But I love looking at the posts and seeing your work.
I'm in awe of the talent on this board, you ladies make some beautiful quilts! |

Oh, craftykk, please reconsider! This is the most laid back place on QB! Everything and anything goes! Of course, it is up to you, but we'd love to have you.

craftykk, this was only my second swap. My talent and skill level is not up where perhaps it should be but I had a fun time trying! I know about time constraints. I'm taking off June and July because I will be spending some vacation time with my daughter's and the youngest grandchildren.

Lookie at the wonderful DQ just a quilter sent me! It's my favorite color (pink), and I'm going to hang it in my bedroom, which is also pink. It's perfect! :thumbup: Even the label is pretty. (I edited out our last names for privacy.)
She even sent a gorgeous sewing case and a porcelain thimble that says "Nashville" on it ... one of my favorite places to visit. :) I sent a PM a little bit ago, but wanted to say thanks again! :D [ATTACH=CONFIG]329899[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]329900[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]329901[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]329902[/ATTACH] |
WOW!! :D More Beautiful Doll Quilt's for the month of April. Everyone is doing such a lovely job making them & so excited to get one in return. I am looking forward to May's Doll Quilt Swap!! Many idea's floating around in my head.
:D :D :D :D |
Oh, I just love the last two quilts from Just a Quilter and Immemother. They are adorable!
Now for my nag fest for craftykk. This is no time to quit! You're off to a great start. There are binding tutorials that make it all sooooo simple. If I can do it, you can do it! And besides, May is Crazy Quilt month and that means embellishment which I think is right up your alley. Those babies have to sleep sometime, so please reconsider! |
