Ok, I admit it: I am Chele's mystery partner for January!
I have not yet learned how to get pics on here, nor taken any from my phone. As you can tell, since I don't have an avatar pic yet--but I am working on it! :)

Thanks everyone!! it was fun to make. It was my first time successfully free-motion quilting a cursive word into the fabric! I backed it in palm tree fabric b/c....palms reign in Fl! lol.fabric

We saw the "last" shuttle landing last time we were down there, we didn't actually see much but we were right across the water and heard the boom, and have some video. It was super exciting, we went and took a tour of the facilities as well. Aside from one boy having a potty accident it was really neat! I really hope we will be able to see a launch some day.

Love the Virginia and Tennesee quilts, really beautiful!

kwiltkrazy 01-26-2011 06:59 PM

Love the cardinal quilt from Virginia, spectacular. Moosegirl, your quilt is wonderful, I love the panel you used, and your star blocks are grand. Great quilts being generated this month.

Haven't received Kwhite's quilt yet, tomorrow it will be a week, so it will probably get here tomorrow. Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow is another day. She'll probably get mine tomorrow also, we sent them off on the same day.

I just have a few more things to hand sew on my little cutie and will send it out hopefully on Friday. Got bogged down with the handsewing and people visiting so didn't have the time I needed. Will DEFINITELY have it out by Friday.
I sure hope it is loved....some of the hand sewing isn't my best, along with the little bit of quilting.....

My quilt was sent today to Virginia. So watch your letter box in 10 days Tlrnhi.

I'll keep and eye out. I'm in Alabama loving on babies at the moment, but yours will DEFINITELY be out on Friday at the latest. I had some trouble with it, so don't look too closely at the stitching

I was at work today and called home to check on the kids. They told me that someone had knocked on the door but they didn't answer. They said there was a package outside. :) Much to my delight it was a package from my Swap Partner Janetlmt. :)

The sad part was that I had to wait until I got home to open it.

So, I came home...found the package and knew that I had to feed the family first. So I shoveled the food in them and got out a knife and opened the box. OHHHHH was I surprised! Thank you so much Janet! :thumbup:

The quilt that she made is the prettiest thing I have ever seen! I adore it!!! My DH told me it needs to be set out-right on our coffee table! So, that is where it is, for now anyway. I don't want the kids to mess with it so, I want to hang it up later. :)

She was so sweet-she sent me the movie Gettysburg (which I haven't ever seen-so we will be watching!) Then she sent me 9 fat quarters of the prettiest fabric!! Oh, I showed DH and I had him feel how soft it was.

Janet and I have been sending pm's back and forth and she is so helpful. She's like my new Momma! :)

Hugs Janet.

Here's the pictures you all. :)

Jonie look up February 2011 Doll quilt swap, and tell Chele you want to join the February swap. Welcome to you and have a ball, it's a lot of fun.

Received my extra swap quilt from Jentica, it is beautiful. Will post after lunch.

Jentica I am still working on yours, about two or three days of embroidery left. Then I have to quilt it. I am loving the creative process.

Your quilting is so perfect, so you have a long arm?

kwiltkrazy 01-28-2011 11:20 AM

Neat quilt, Psychomom. It's kind of like one of Ricky Tims' Fracture quilts.

Have not received Kwhite's little gem yet. I hate the mail. We sent last thursday.
