Washington state and NYC, the umbrellas are adorable. I can definitely get the washington feel. HobbyKat, NYC as a bargello is cool. It definitely has the New Years eve feel and the hustle and bustle. These are all so wonderful.
|
Iowa Chick and NYC DQ's are adorable! Love them!
|
Gals, these quilts are fantastic!! I'd love all of them in my sewing room!
|
I have one completed and will be going out to QuiltyLouise today. My Montana one is taking just a bit longer. Should get done this weekend. Darn Carpal Tunnel just does not want me to do binding. Hmmm, maybe use the sewing machine to get it done. That would help. Ljdugas, look for it in the mail by Wednesday.
|
Ladies-what a fantastic show of your talents! :)
|
Everyone comes up with such great ideas! City street, tall buildings et al. Of course applies and umbrellas for WA state! Mine should get to Crazy Quiltin Robin tomorrow. Anyone interested in a sneak peek can go to:

Mine arrived from Tulip today!! It's a little marvel, all Paper-pieced. Thank you, Raylene. She has blocks for birds, orchards, gardens, trees, agriculture and one for her own greenhouses and love of gardening!! A treasure. I'll post a picture of the front and the back.[ATTACH=CONFIG]306703[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]306704[/ATTACH]

The bargello was a great idea for representing NYC!
|
Jillnjo, and tulip, What a wonderful little quilt. Your pp'ing is perfect. I love how your represented your state.
|
So it's cool to see what everyone did for their state...This "theme" was just great...

So the front is gray fabrics with umbrellas, for the rain we get here, the green fabric is for the fir trees and the backing fabric is apples for the Washington State apples. I hope she likes it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]306527[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]306528[/ATTACH]

birdlady and QuilterMomma,
I FINALLY got both of your dq's finished tonight, they will be in the mail MONDAY at the latest, tomorrow if I can get to the PO in time. If either of you ladies needs me to post pictures for you just let me know, I have taken several (mainly for my records and swap files). WOW everyone ALL of your dq's are fabulous!!!!!!!!!! now I am second guessing on mine LOL I only did a stitch in the ditch because of the layout of my dq's. |
Is there a February DQ swap signup yet? or did I miss
it already? (I sure hope I didn't miss it). |
Here's the thread for the February swap: http://www.quiltingboard.com/member-...e-t176576.html
Let me know if you want to play! |
Chele, I PM you last evening, but I am signing up for February's swap. I am on my way to the PO now to put Sewbeadit's DQ in the post. It is bright for a first timer but hers is a gorgeous work of art. I am so happy to be a receiver of this kind of artform. Everyone's art has been beautiful to gaze upon. Thank you Chele for hosting this forum.

These doll quilts are so cool. I love all the differennt ideas everyone uses. I am still waiting for mine, I can hardly wait. Maybe I will receive it on Monday. I will be going out of town and will not be back until the following weekend. I hope I get it before I leave, or I will be calling DH everyday to check the mail.
I hope my pal likes the one I did for her. I liked it.... Cuppy |

I got a very special squishy in the mail today. My DQ from Quilting Krazy arrived. And it is super special. I feel like I got a mini guided tour of her hometown. It is fabulous. She also included an "oogle". It's a good luck charm made by a local artisan. It is so adorble. Thank you Lisa. It's fabulous and I love it!! :)
|
Your quilt is very detailed and interesting! The parkway has showed up a few times this month! It's a beautiful drive to take. I've got some cousins down there in the Appalachians, maybe they are familiar with those "oogles"!
|
This is a Great Mini Quilt.
|
Great Idea!!! I love your Mini Q...

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 :) |

My goodness, I stepped away from QB for a few days and so many gorgeous DQs arrived at their new destination and they are so unique, every one of them. Love the umbrellas for WA but you know I don't think it rained once when I was there about 10 years ago :) |
QuiltingKrazy/Judith, love your little DQ. I have never heard of 'oogles' before but I just love the one you received Judith. Mine would probably have to spend way too much time in a dark place though, have quite a few bad days or grouchy days :) :)
|
I made it to the PO yesterday. One package is "suppose"
to be delivered on Monday, the other on Tuesday. |
WOW. I love looking at all the gorgeous quilts. This is my first time doing an exchange and you all have given me lots of ideas for February already.

I sent Mariposa my interpertation of our state butterfly, Zebra Longwing Butterfly. I sent her some of our beatiful sky and sunshine. She said she received it, so I take it I can post it. She collects 'Moose' so I did the back in black fabric that had red moose all over it.
|
Oh yes, please post any and all pictures you have of the quilts you've made or received. We love seeing what everyone creates.
