That was a great video...is that what a 3d quilt is???? Swimmer Girl

That's very pretty and a great tute.

I does give the pansy a 3D effect and this is one version of a 3D quilt :D:D:D

I love that technique amma....she is right, it is fun. I've never done the thread painting in just that way, but I will for sure in the future!

Hey you!! You're back!! You're gonna have to tell me about your trip!!
The kitty to the left is Bella.. she's our new terror.. err kitten..

:lol: :lol:

Did someone say we are addicted to these little gems??

No, no not me!

I bought a kit from connecting threads for my mini quilt...but I have some other ideas as well...just waiting to see who my partner is so I can decide which theme to go with?? patiently...patiently..patiently waiting for everyone to sign up so we can get started!

Chele, I will be waiting to find out who my partner is going to be. This is going to be so much fun.

How many now Chele?

I got mine cut out today.
Can't wait to see who my partner will be. :D

66 swappers so far Rhonda. Hopefully I didn't leave anyone off the new list thingy: http://www.quiltingboard.com/group_a...jsp?gracnum=21

If we don't get any new swappers in the next day or so, I'll go ahead and assign partners.

:thumbup:

Okay, me too, I'm in! Just too much excitement in this thread *not* to do it!

I'm also fine with mailing to anywhere.

CHELE- can i stay in the states this time, thanx

Welcome ladygen. Always nice to have new faces! Yep, STAR, I had you down for US only. Any more victims? It's really fun...

Any pattern is okay, right? I'm pretty intimidated by minis, but I've really been wanting to do one!

Any pattern (or no pattern!) is hunky dory! No intimidation here, missy! Just have fun!

Chele...I like the new group activity list, don't you??? I think it will make it really easy. Can't wait to get partners...I actually worked on mine today :lol: ...no...not my partner...my little quilt, silly!

thanx chele I didn't remember saying that. good thing you are better organized than me!!

What intimidates you Ladygen? You can make it anything you are comfortable with. Any style or look is fine. We have alot of differant types of quilting and lots of differant levels of skill. We love them all!

I've been looking at pictures since I posted that... Mini quilts, mini patterns, mini pieces... But I realized I can just make smaller blocks, not teeny-tiny ones! Not so intimidated anymore... Now I'm really excited!

Glad to hear it! These DQs are sooo much fun! I know you will enjoy the swap!! Glad you took the plunge!! LOL

I am glad you are not intimidated anymore! My thought was this would be an easier swap for me to do being a beginner since it would be a smaller peice!

i have never done a doll quilt before,so put me in for this one. can send anywhere.....

Look at all the suckers,,,,er, I mean WONDERFUL people we have!
This is going to be fun!
I actually have mine done! WOOHOO!
Still need to finish up January's....yea, I'm a bit backwards, but I actually had February's done a few months ago. lol

Come on....do we have partners yet?
I'M WAITING!!!!!!!!!!

LOL I see how you are Terri! You put me on hold!! LOL I am working on yours. I finally have settled on the final design. Hope you like it! It won't be tiny piecing this time tho.

No Rhonda, you aren't on hold.
I actually have it finished, but I'm putting more to it.
Just NOT liking it the way it is. lol

That's ok Terri I am always juggling projects and time.I was just kidding anyway. I can't wait to see what you made for me!! I am sure it is great! We are our worst critics.

If anyone is looking for inspiration take a look at the threads in the Miniature Quilts Virtual section.

Butterflywing just posted a great miniature site that has lots of inspirational ideas. I added it to the Minis VS.

I'm just hoping it comes out the way I am hoping it to come out. It's an afterthought. Quilt is all done, but just not liking how it looks. Hate when that happens.
Machine is diligently working on the label at the moment....

Yeah...all you newbies!!! You will love this swap, its a great opportunity to try out all those "new" things you've been wanting to try. Thats what I do...and its great!! Welcome to the swap!!

lol... my "new" thing is applying a binding! lol

Whatever "works" for you :lol: :lol: and hey...if its "new" to you...its a good time to try it out! :lol: :lol:

I haven't been brave enough to try anything new yet! I'll have to think about trying paper piecing in a future one I guess!! Never tried it yet. But this one I already have planned so not this month!

I want to play to......PLEASE ADD ME ....

OK...you all are having too much fun here. Sign me up!

DH has had 2 surgeries since June and I need motivation to get back into the sewing room. This will be a good reason! I'll ship anywhere.

Please make sure I am signed up ... I don't remember if I signed up or not.

There's a link at the bottom of the home page. Click on the February Doll quilt swap, and there is a list of everyone signed up for the swap. At this time, ReRe, your name is just below mine. So you are in!

Heads up here, we are in for a storm this week and it is highly possible we will lose power due to to much freezing rain and sleet on the power lines. Last time it was 8 days before they got us power. We do have a generator but not sure we will put the computer on it. I hope so I'd go bonkers with out my internet. I will call my friend Sheila if I cant get on the net and get who my partner is. Oh for sure the sewing machine will be on the generator, they dont want me on a killing spree. I will check in as soon as I can. BTW Sheila is Panther Creek Quilting on here.
