Oh dear. Good luck to you.

Alu_Rathbone, that is such a cute little quilt! I'm glad you are in the swap. And to think you did it all by hand. That's great! Just think what you can do with a machine!!!

Happy Birthday to you on Monday. I hope you have a great day.

I would love to be part of this swap. I only have to make one quilt though, right? International is fine. In case it is an allergy issue, I have two dogs. I am almost finished with my first doll quilt for a swap with Gwyn. I never would have tried if not for this board. Jumping in with both feet. :-)

Actually no we don't. My grandmother crocheted and so does my mom.

My mom decided to try quilting and I thought I'd give it a try. I bought a quilt kit which was for beginners... and thats where the fabric came from. And I really really love it! So I'm going to continue on with quilting. My mom says it's the healthiest hobby/obsession (lol not really obsessed!) that I've come across.

And thank you for the complements everyone!!!

Still have to sandwich it and quilt it and bind it.....

I can't do 1" pieces, but I can usually work out the pieces in strips and then cut the rows to the correct size squares or whatever.

Hi Gwyn. I have been working on the doll quilt for you. It takes me a while since I work full-time plus, and hand-quilt. It is coming along and I am about to do the edging. That part scares me, but I will let you know how it is going. As you know, this is my first doll quilt, and I learned how to do triangles too. I was afraid to try them, but I'm glad I finally did. I will let you know the day I get it in the mail. :-)

Such a cute quilt Christina and the buttons give it a nice touch!

tslowery 02-13-2010 01:16 PM

THANKS TERRI I received mine today and she is a beauty...Thankyou for the fabric also it is cute. I will post pic tonight I used up batteries this morning we had snow for the first time with accumulation of about 3 or 4 inches last time was about 20 years ago.. we have gone crazy and now it is 4 pm next day and all that is left is on some roofs of houses. Sugarman has never seen snow and was having a blast running and jumping in it (my cat)

Sewjoyce,
What a darling quilt you received from Christina. Love it and the cat, too.

carrieg 02-13-2010 06:03 PM

cjtmama - I have the binding sewn to the front. Now all that's left is hand sewing it to the back. That and the label, darn, can't forget the label!

And as I promised Sewjoyce, have the photo of the quilt she made along with the goodies!!!

sandpat 02-14-2010 07:36 PM

Oh...that quilt is gorgeous! How are the hearts done??

Rhonda 02-14-2010 07:39 PM

I agree those hearts are gorgeous! I tried to decide if they were done with ribbons or were in fact fabric. Love the quilt! Soft and pretty and romantic.

Alu_Rathbone 02-14-2010 07:48 PM

I think she did it with her embroidery machine and she made the little red bookmark with her sewing machine. I love the quilt she gave me! It's very very beautiful!

Quilt Mom 02-14-2010 08:06 PM

Beautiful little quilt! Love those hearts.

Sunkistmi will still be waiting for a little while, I am afraid. I am still at work on the top... :roll: Sorry I am not a bit faster. I tried something new, and well... I promise! I will get it done!

magnolia 02-14-2010 08:06 PM

The quilts are looking great so far! My quilt will be going out to buddy's mom on Tuesday or Wednesday!

Janstar 02-14-2010 08:23 PM
