LoriJ what is the name of your senter block? I really like that one.

LoriJ 06-27-2009 06:22 AM

It's called Celtic Sunrise from Quilters Cache. It's a 12 inch paper pieced block.

This is just beautiful! Alice, what a wonderful job you did!
Everyone, this is more than I expected. I am so excited to start quilting this one. I can't wait to get it.

Alice, can you please just DRIVE it here? It shouldn't take more than 3 days....


Thank you everyone! So beautiful! I am very HAPPY.

*DANCES AND SINGS*

I got my quilt in the mail yesterday!!!! IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!! I don't have pictures of it to post, but I will. It is just so gorgeous! It's going to be wonderful when I get it all done.

I just have to add a border, (It's not quite long enough for my king bed) and then quilt it! Oh this was so much fun!

Elizabeth A. 06-27-2009 12:25 PM

Great job Lori and Alice, it's so wonderful to see both of those tops done and how they came together. Thanks for sharing the photos. Kudos to everyone!

If only I had summers off like I used to. Now that I am in the district office I work year round. It is a little hard getting used to that :wink: A road trip does sound fun! And I could find shops to visit on the way :lol:

Elizabeth A. 06-29-2009 05:54 AM

Here is mrsj82's top. I didn't post it right when I'd finished it because I wanted her to be the first one to see it "done" and when she said she had it I couldn't find my hub. But DH found it yesterday so here it is.

I just discovered Pamela's cut dog and cat row robin in a bag in my sewing room. My daughter must have put it there when she came to straighten up my sewing room while I laid up. I am working on it almost as we speak. It is over 108 outside so the snow theme is a good one to work on. Hope to finish and get your wall hanging out in the mail by the end of the week.
Sorry for the delay.

mrsj82 06-29-2009 12:37 PM

Elizabeth, I cannot get over how beautiful my top turned out!!! Thank you so mcuh for adding that last row, it realily ties it all together. And thanks for the extra goodies that came in my package!

2 Doods 06-29-2009 12:47 PM

Purplemem - couldn't get the road trip figured out so I took the package to the post office today. Should arrive in 2-3 days so you will have Christmas in July! :lol:

Thats ok I understand life gets in the way. Hope your feeling better

mrsj82 06-30-2009 01:19 PM

LoriJ,

I want to apologize for not being able to get your row out in time. I haven't even started on it yet, life has been crazy. I will work on it and get it out to you by this weekend though. I am so sorry about the delay. Let me know if you've got any questions.

Alice! I received my package today and it is just wonderful. I laid it on the bed and have spent 2 hours just admiring the individual blocks. Now I have to decide how to quilt...

I'm sorry the road trip was such a hassle, let me know the next time you plan one and I'll send you a Google map, with quilt shops marked along the way.

Thank you, every one, for such a marvelous quilt.
Mary Jane

MJ-Glad it made it OK. It's a pretty one! The road trip would have been fun. :mrgreen: Working year round sure has cramped my style. I only work 4 hours a day so that helps-still plenty of quilting time :lol: But I loved having summer off.

Hope you will post pictures when you get it all complete. It will be fun to see them all finished.

mrsj82 07-05-2009 03:19 PM

Okay so as I sit here playing around on the computer I have to let you all know that I am almost done with LoriJ's row. It's all together, now it's just attaching it and sending it out. I will have it in the mail either tomorrow or Tuesday! I am so sorry that it's late...life just has a way of happening!

Alright, it's all done! Lori, I hope you like the latest addition! It's slightly longer on the sides than the rest of it, but I left it that way in case you wanted to add some borders or something.

Hope you like it!

LoriJ 07-06-2009 12:31 PM

Thanks Mrs J. I'll be looking forward to seeing the whole thing in person. Thanks to everyone who participated in this round robin, it's been loads of fun. :D :D

And the last row we can have some hot cider with a cinnamon stick.

This is the completed top that I just finished working on. Next step, finishing! However I wanted to share this with you ladies! It is absolutely stunning, and I just wanted to show it off with the borders on before we get it finished and on the bed. Thanks everyone again for such hard work and making such a beautiful quilt!

Margie,
That looks fabulous! I love the embroidery. I'm anxious to see it in person because I know the pictures never do it justice.

Thank you so much! Hope things are going better for you. Sending prayers :!:

Margie, the quilt and embroidery are great.

I really like your dining room set. Is it antique?

Margie 09-11-2009 05:24 PM

wvdek....the small server is antique...the rest is odd pieces that are "new" that I collected. There is an antique china cabinet that you cannot see in the corner. I love house sales, garage sales, flea markets etc. Love to find something unexpected and turn it into a "treasure" :)

Thanks you

Margie
