I am sew in. Can't wait for the sign up to be posted. With a theme or without, this is so much fun. Thanks for hosting Chele.

I PROMISE to get my DQ's finished this week!
Kinda got busy cleaning my sewing room so that I could get my new machine in there now that I have the machine in place (room not FULLY clean yet) I think I will be able to get back to my dq's. I only need to ad borders on one and the other just needs all the blocks sewn together and the borders added. |
Mine is ready to quilt then binding and in the mail by tomorrow. Hope CQRobin likes it!! It's out of the ordinary for me.
|
Can't wait to see it Gladie.
|
It's here! and what a beauty. Will get a pic later to share.

Rec'd a Great Lighthouse Quilt today from my partner Moommist 13344 from Erie PA...She replicated Erie Land Lighthouse...so talented...See the photo below and history of it that she sent along with it...
I guess Great Minds think alike because I sent her a Lighthouse also representing two states I live in NY and RI and their Lighthouses on the accent fabrics. I forgot to take a photo of mine once it was finished but did take a photo of top only ...Thanks Maxine...you did such a great job I LOVE IT!!!! |
Oh, how beautiful! The composition is fabulous and that border! Lucky, lucky you!
Allie, I am sorry I haven't post a photo yet. I need to get a clear space! |
Those are wonderful and both so different. You must have been channeling each other.
Partner, Mine was out for delivery today. I hope it brings you a smile. :) |

Lynnie25 - what a wonderful setting for such lovely prints!
|
Hobbykat & Moommist - Good thing those did not come to my house - my step-daughter would have absconded with them! Both are beautiful depictions done in fabric.
|
I love those lighthouses!! Wonderful quilts, both of you.
|
Chele - I want to play for February! Now don't hate on me gang but......I finished piecing a baby gift quilt this weekend and the left over material was screaming at me - I am your February DQ!!
Being the fabric listener that I am I did as I was bid by the fabric and finished my DQ for February this weekend. :cool: |
I've got one over half finished and it may be my Feb. partner's quilt, too!
|
I started my Feb also...some of us are ahead of the game....
|
Whew...glad I am not the only one that got a head start.:)
|
Oh you guys!!! Here I'm trying to get my January one done. Hey while FMQ'ing my plastic foot broke; spring et al is fine. Dilemma: can I FMQ without my foot? Any thoughts?
|
I have seen it done, but be extremely careful, you don't need any extra color in your quilt.
|
Oh thanks for chiming in L! With your experience with FMQ, your answer has merit. Okay back to sewing, got the binding on!
|
Ya'll are brave. Free motion quilting without a foot? Yikes! Make sure your needle is sharp in case it meets with fingers. You don't want a dull one piercing you. Sending safe vibes.

Oh, Chele, I will. Have already pierced a finger and don't want a repeat performance. DH won't want to take me to ER again!
Here's the wonderful Road to Oklahoma that CQRobin sent me! The colors are soft with nice contrast; SID quilting topnotch; nice back labels-1st the OK flag, 2nd celebrating the OK land rush, and 3rd the personalized label. She also sent some neat extras--love having and extra tweezers, the emery board works like a charm and what a great little pattern she picked out. Keep her in your prayers as she really needs them. Thanks again Robin.[ATTACH=CONFIG]305684[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]305686[/ATTACH] |
Gladie; What a gorgeous little quilt! It looks just like you! Me, too-hehe. All the extras are a nice touch, don't you think?

I heard from mollymunchkin that she received the DQ so now time to post a pic. While it is simple, it envokes in me memories of wonderful times spent in the Blue Ridge Mountains of VA.

QuiltingKrazy and Judith1005, that's a super sunny Florida DQ. I lived in P'Cola for a couple years while my husband was in flight school in the 80s. Absolutely loved that area! Gorgeous beaches!

I am so glad you like it, wanted to try something new and it worked out well. I will post a pic for you. Can't wait to receive yours - special order fabric, not I am intrigued
Just reading about all the snow and flooding in some parts of the US - guess you don't want to know that I have spent the weekend sewing on my shack verandah, enjoying the hot sunny days with just a hint of a cool breeze. Oh how I love this summer weather :) |

Tammy,
How is your weather report for today? I hope you are staying in & staying warm, too. We are getting blanketed with it here in Yakima. I don't much care for it, but I really like the idea of staying in my sewing room & sewing on a few of my projects!! Take care everyone that is in the middle of these storms. |

I had a wonderful surprise in the post today; my DQ from Woody! It is gorgeous. I can't believe it. It looks like a real stained glass picture. And more goodies with it: pocket calendar, Koala bear bookmark and gorgeous FQ of Australian fabric. THANK YOU so much, Woody. I love all of it!
|
Oh you "down under" gals are doing your self proud! Love the parrot, too.
This is the fun part of the month--seeing everyone's beauties. Gnight now! |
What a beautiful stained glass parrot.
|
BOY, I just can't believe all of the beautiful Doll Quilts that were posted on the 23rd!! :D Everyone has really out done themselves for Jabuary. Each one is a treasure in itself. I am loving all of the Eye Candy & anxiously waiting for mine to arrive in the mail!! Keep them coming all.
:D :D :D :D |
What a collection! Well done everyone, the quilts this month are fabulous! It is tipping down with rain here, dull and miserable, and I am in front of the computer grinning with delight...
Special hugs to CQRobin - you have made a beautiful quilt, I always love the miniature classics, it's great that you have been able to join in this month. Looking at these quilts has made me even more impatient - quilts are in the post both ways between me and my partner - the suspense! |
