Hi Jacquie -

I was beginning to think "everyone" fell off the end of the earth with our group ..... "Yes", It has been awfully quiet. However it just may be the "Lul before the storm", so to speak .... when we all get another row to work on. I believe I get Patti's row next from Betty and the mind is working on some ideas, so I'll be ready when it gets here. Good to hear from you.

Dayle, I was wanting to get Patti's rows to you today but will be in the mail to you tomorrow. I already have the next set. Haven't even looked at them yet. I think they are the Civil War ones from Ladybug. AND Jacquie, your draft for my rows looks wonderful.

i enjoy applique, it's a little different...
i think you always need 'some' applique, whatever it is in quilts such as row/round robins... it makes them that bit different & special.

I just have to say, WOW I received your row Jacquie, with Joan's row added to it today. The pictures were wonderful but do not really do justice to the actual piece. It is just wonderful.....I am almost afraid to touch it....not sure what I will do just yet, but it is hanging very near me so it can tell me what it needs....wants....must have! I enjoyed reading your story, but best of all, congratulations on becoming a Granny. I have often told my son, "If I had known being a grandmother was so much fun, I would have skipped motherhood and gone straight to being a grandmother."

LOL...
that reminds me of a bumper sticker my in-laws had...
"we love our Grandchildren so much, we wish we'd had them first"...
wonderful!! lol...

don't be afraid of my row :) i'm just glad you like it, i think it's going to be just wonderful whatever you add to it!!!
nice autumn pieced blocks are fine! it doesn't have to be PP, or applique, whatever you feel!!!
i can't believe my row is about to have it's 3rd row started on!!
i'm still waiting for Dayle's 1st row to come through my door!!!
my postman probably thinks i have a 'thing' for him, as i'm always waiting for him to come up my drive.
poor guy will be wishing my hubby was back from sea, as i must be missing him!!!
ROFL :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

i'm loving what i'm seeing with everyones rows, we have such a great group!
i'm really, really enjoying my first 'row robin' with you guys!!

jacquie 01-11-2011 10:25 AM

hey, just had a thought, at the speed we are doing this row robin, we could actually fit in another one in the time scale! do you fancy doing 2??????
lol......

Please let me get caught up, then I will seriously consider it. I am finding that since I have been ill, I have no stamina. I use to be able to sew all day and half the night, now I have to go take a rest every hour or so. I am so much slower than I used to be.

Don't worry Betty .... best piority for you is to get well and back on your feet. Let's face it ..... "we" the Early Bird Threads are way ahead of the other groups .... as a matter of fact, the others are just lurking out there .... keeping an eye on what we're doing .... and of course we're giving them all kinds of ideas.
