I don't have the blocks together yet, but should be able to get that done this week, then I can get it all in the mail before I go on vacation. I couldn't get all of them in one picture. After I get it all put together with the other rows, I'll post another picture.

I will be sending out this row tomorrow... hope you like it!


LoriJ 03-26-2009 10:47 AM

I like the kitty's! great job

sewjoyce 03-26-2009 11:03 AM

Oh Collettakay -- I LOVE it!!!! You all are doing such a great job!

Elizabeth A. 03-27-2009 07:54 AM

Lori the row you're working on it so pretty I can hardly wait to have the entire thing home and up on my wall! :D

Colletta your kitties are just the right touch! They make me smile! :D :D :D

Here is Barbsbus top. Of course the top isn't done but it's much more a quilt top than a row now. :D It's in the mail to Beth.

There is a lot of detail that you really can't see, but all the better for seeing it in person. The theme is Snowman whimsy and pretty with each row creating the snowman

SIGH...trying to post again. Here is mrsj82 's row. I tried faux cathedral window blocks for first time and put embroidered snowflakes with different themes in them, introduced a new color into quilt, and tried to tie winter theme and peace together with winter dove peace block. Hope it is ok, remember I am novice here.

Trying to post again..will have to do several because doesnt seem like they are posting.

Margie.

LoriJ 03-27-2009 08:57 AM

ooooh Margie, PRETTY! I really like it. You've got to tell me how you make the windows, I really like them!

Elizabeth A. 03-27-2009 09:21 AM

Margie those are DEVINE! They turned out amazing and beautiful. :D I'd be happy to drool all over them for days... Of course the trouble is that it will eventually come here and I will have to do something.... :P

The YouTube link for the cathedral windows is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvXUvKIzYZY ;)

Margie 03-27-2009 10:56 AM

Glad you like it....just noticed the snowflake is posted "base" clef instead of BASS Clef lol I get so nervous trying to post pics... I didnt even get the striped blocks in and got the peace block twice. OH WELL, I am blonde :)

Margie

BTW...tks Elizabeth for posting the link for Lori. I wish someone would explain how to make a hyperlink that you just click on...I dont know how to do it.

Margie 03-27-2009 12:38 PM

Mailed mrsj82"s row in the mail to 2doods....hubby just took it to the post office for me. SOOOOO glad to be done!

Margie

Elizabeth A. 03-27-2009 01:59 PM

Up above your text typing box is a URL button. Select the httpstuff and click the button. I think sometimes if you have the entire http:ect it will do it automatically. :D

Glad to hear the row is in the mail. May it have a safe transit!

collettakay 03-27-2009 03:08 PM

Colletakay -- I have yours -- Got it in the mail just the other day. Hope you're not allergic to cats as mine just had to give his approval.... :oops:

I'll post another picture when I get my row done!

MsSage 03-27-2009 04:30 PM

LOL I have to laugh since mine had to do the same. Sorry I forgot to take a pic.

Maybe that's why my cat was so "interested" in it :lol: :lol: :lol:

MsSage 03-27-2009 05:09 PM


Maybe that's why my cat was so "interested" in it
"Bugs" or her full name Lovebug wanted to send her love along :wink: Bugs has been very clingy and wont leave my side unless to eat. But there are times when having her close is a blessing.
If anyone is Allergic to cats let me know and I will MAKE SURE she stays away.

sewjoyce 03-27-2009 05:13 PM

How about a picture of the Lovebug??? :wink: :-) :-)

Ohh, thank you so much for the pic. It is looking awesome.

And no, don't worry about the cat. Mine were so annoying today while I was sewing. I constantly had to move them off the fabric and out of my work space. They even try to swat the needle as its going up and down. I don't know what got into them today. Maybe the fabric had been rubbed with catnip..lol

Margie

My Goodness Girl! You are a hard act to follow. Fabulous job!!! Hope I can add something worthy :lol: :wink: :oops:

I'm still plugging away on the one I have here. 2 more blocks and it will be ready for the mail. I think I'll make the deadline or close to it.

purplemem 03-27-2009 06:29 PM

I've got one more block to go...and NO camera again!

Will post if I can beg son to come over... :roll:


mrsj82 03-27-2009 06:51 PM

I haven't even started mine yet! Things have been so crazy I've not had a chance to even get started. I'm going to have to kick this into high gear! Tomorrow I'm going to force this row into submission!

These are so beautiful that I'm feeling swamped by not being able to add something even close...but I'll do my best!

purplemem 03-27-2009 06:58 PM

I just did my best...I added a log cabin block, a winter block, a tree block, etc...no over-arching theme on this one.

I think it may be yours, MrsJ82= this is the one with the green sashing between rows...

Elizabeth A. 03-28-2009 05:28 AM

purplemem you have Margie's. ;) mrsj's is the cathedral window one that Margie posted a page or two ago. :D

Give that row the machine mrsj, that row is going to be great!

Here's my row completed and added to the two above it. I'll get it off in the mail to Margie on Monday.

Hope you like it Elizabeth!


mrsj82 03-28-2009 09:42 AM

Those look so awesome! I love that row!

Margie, I was looking back over what you posted, and it's simply beautiful! I didn't notice it the first time around, but the bass cleft snowflake is so special. My husband is a bass player and as soon as he saw that he started laughing his head off. That is so special and I can't tell you enough how beautiful your row is!

*Heads off to the sewing machine*

I've got a few ideas for this row, now I've got to whip it into shape...picutres to come in the next day or so

(I've forgotten who's row I have now, forgive me! :oops: :oops: )

Margie 03-28-2009 10:03 AM

MRSJ82,

SOOOO Happy you like it. That is funny because that set of snowflakes also has a G
clef and I debated between it and the bass clef and finally the bass clef won. Glad your hubby enjoyed a laugh.

Sorry I posted the "peace dove" twice. ... there are two striped blocks in between the snowflakes...you can see a little bit of them in one of the pics.

Margie

JANW 03-28-2009 11:58 AM

Wow that is perfect.

Elizabeth A. 03-28-2009 12:21 PM

Oh Lori! It's so pretty, the stars on either side really make it stunning. It's beautiful, thank you.

Mrsj82 you have purplemem's :D
