I just recieved a pm from Thequilterslink. She said that she got the one I sent her, but she wasnt able to post a pic, so... Here it is.


ps. I just realized that you cant see it, but I quilted around all of the little shells. Also, I quilted waves in the border.

I hope MsShawn has received my little DQ safely, it should have crossed the water by now and be on its way to her.

Ok I suck!!!! I received this littel beauty last weekend in the midst of taking down Christmas decorations and it got lost in the meley. Then I was so tired I didn't remember to look for it. I am sooo sorry Lucinda. I love it and it has so much meaning. She sent with it a very detailed letter explaining all of the symbolism, some wonderful Oregon salt water taffy and a peice of lighthouse fabric. Thank you so much. I am sorry for the delay.

Wow! How beautiful!

I am anxious to hear from Janis that she got her quilt, it should have got there on Thursday.

kwiltkrazy 01-30-2011 10:33 AM

Karen, so glad you got it, and that you like it. I still haven't received yours. Should receive it Monday. I was wondering why it hadn't got there yet.

I think it's just that I'm weird.LOL

OLDNTATTED 01-30-2011 05:45 PM

I just finished mine for jan. Can't wait to see what my partner sends to me.
I think I could win the award for thinking "highest" out of the box for this month. Sorry but you will all have to wait untill my partner posts the quilt to find out what I am talking about... Ha! Ha! just a lil' cliffhanger, to keep everybody intrested.


Ray..

kwiltkrazy 01-30-2011 06:04 PM

Ont- can't wait to see it.

kwhite 01-30-2011 06:33 PM

Ok so I married a man that fits me to a "T". I just asked him when he mailed your quilt to you and it is still in his truck. Again I am so sorry. I have threatened his life and told him not to come home tomorrow unless it is mailed. you should see it mid week.

kwiltkrazy 01-30-2011 07:20 PM

Yeah, I was wondering, got one fron NH in 3 days. I understand, my husband says I am that way, unless it is important to me.

According to the USPS, my Doll Quilt was delivered to mom-6 on Saturday January 22. She has been away, but I wanted to share with all.

The jar of Sweethearts represents NECCO originally in Cambridge MA and now in Revered MA, the jar of cranberries represent the cranberries grown in Southeastern Massachusetts, the radishes represnt the farm that was beind my house growing up and that I picked as a young kid and the ship in the bottle represent the sailing heritage of Massachsusetts.

Karen, I finished your doll quilt tonight, not sure it will make it to the post office tomorrow due to predicted icy conditions in the morning. I am really happy with how it turned out, I think it is my best one yet! Hope you agree when you see it. Sorry it is a little late.

I got my wonderful little doll quilt from candi! It is Mickey Mouse and has Have a magical day on it. It is so cute, and makes me smile when i look at it. She also sent some oranges fabric and a valentine note pad of paper. I'm hoping she can post pictures my wonderful quilt from her and also of the one I'm sending her, as I can't post pictures. I hope to be able to get out tomorrow and send hers to her. It is almost finished. Yes, I'm slow.
