Oh my goodness, I just received my quilt from Karen,Kwhite, I'm blown away, and speechless. It is so gorgeous, I wanna grow up to be her, she is so talented, everything is perfect. It is an Amish/style quilt. It is beautiful. I will post as soon as lunch is over. Thank you Karen, I love it so. Also some Amish print fabric.

The quilt was in my office when I arrived at work today! What a beauty! Nancy also sent me a Thimbleberries Calendar, Louisana Life Magazine, and some neat Marti Gras beads and mask! TOO CUTE. I just love it! Thank you so much. What an awesome partner! Your quilt should be there any day now. I hope our Ohio weather hasn't delayed it too much!

Wow, Nancy, how cool. Your flowers look 3D. Are they? How did you do that? Can I be you when I grow up too? LOL

Here's my beautiful quilt from Kwhite, a Pennsylvania treasure. The color in the photo doesn't do the quilts true colors justice, it is bright and beautiful in real life vision.

Perfect piecing in the border.

Mine FINALLY got out into the mail today.
So sorry it's late. I've NEVER been late before!!
Lady at post office said a week to get there, but I don't believe her.
I'm sorry, but I didn't get a picture, but hope that Mrs B can get one when she receives it.

I do want to say one thing....DO NOT USE FLAT RATE BOXES FOR CANADA OR OVERSEAS!! For Canada, the price is $28 and change and for overseas, it's $45 and change. I took the quilt and goodies out of the flat rate box and put it into another box and the price was cut in half to Australia. I asked what it would cost to UK and the lady said it would be the same amount, but would be the $45+ if it went Flat Rate box. So, just a heads up for everyone.

I am so glad you like it. I was amazed at how similar it is to one that showed up a few pages back. Check out the quilt by QazyQltr on page 23

The quilts posted the past couple of days are awesome, lots of creativity in them for sure.

I am trying to track Ms Shawn's quilt that I sent her over 2 weeks ago, hope it isn't stuck in the US snowdrifts somewhere, come on USPS please deliver it safely to Ms Shawn, she is waiting so patiently :)

kwiltkrazy 02-02-2011 08:03 PM

Not only do I love it, my husband loves it too. So It isn't going to be in my sewing room it is going to be in our bedroom.

Earlier I'd thought I'd like to do one about the Amish in IN, but nixed that when I thought of how I'd have to do the buggy wheels and the horses. I thought it'd be hard as I like to hand applique, so I did something else, which I might add, isn't finished yet. I still need to quilt it, which I hope to do tonight. So.... keep tuned to this topic. I hope to have the little quilt sent out on Saturday.

Here is a photo of the OHIO Quilt I sent to Nancy in Louisiana. It was my first time doing redwork. I loved the "Buckeye Trees" and snowmen in the pattern. Big thanks to my hubby for tracing it onto my fabric!

Go Buckeyes! O H I O

You can make an extra one for me! Don't want you to get bored. I love mug rugs and potholders too. The choice is yours! :thumbup:

Jenni, you took the very words right out of my head... lol. Hey, I guess she has time to make one for each of us since it is only the 3rd of February! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

kwiltkrazy 02-03-2011 10:53 PM

Jenni that quilt of yours is so cute, is the pattern your own, I like them holding Ohio, my daughter-in-law is from Akron, so the idea might morph into something a little different for her. Love it,

Nancy in Louisiana 02-04-2011 07:32 AM

Jenni -- just getting ready to post a picture and you beat me to it!! Didn't she do well, folks? She claims she's new, but her work is fine. Great pattern, great idea. I feel very lucky that I was her partner this month. Thanks again, Jenni! I hope we get an opportunity to swap again as well.

Hold fast folks--I have 8 grands to make valentines for now! Get to the end of the line!
Lucinda--we didn't get as much as further south of us so have been able to get the milk truck here every other day. GKids have had early outs, no school and late starts all this week. Thanks for thinking of me. G

Craftymainemom, how original and cute. Care free living, hmmm!

Nancy in Louisiana 02-05-2011 11:09 AM

Love that mosquito fabric -- that should really be Louisiana's state bird instead of the pelican. They are that big down here, all year long, and they BITE a lot.

vbourck 02-05-2011 12:32 PM

I LOVE the blueberries border- my favorite thing about Maine! Very cute Doll Quilt!

candi 02-05-2011 12:49 PM

Love the Maine quilt, so awesome! Of course, I love the state too,. Hmmm, now I am craving some Maine lobsters!

978gray 02-05-2011 01:51 PM

Love the Maine quilt. Perfect depiction for one of my favorite states!
The backing is perfect! Lots of bugs is the summer!
Yes, Maine is the way life should be!
