tesspug and I are doing spring. Been sewing on it yesterday and this morning. It's done, hope she likes it.

Looks like it will be a nice mix!

Can't wait to see them! Flowers and Bunnies :)

I figured out what I want to do. Now to get started. :D I hope you like it Teresa.

I know I will...cause it will be made just for me by you ;)

Ok, if I can pull it off, I'm doing bunnies AND flowers (spring!). I like to mix things up!

Been digging through the stash for spring fabrics. Looking through the window, it looks all warm and springing out there, but step outside and I'm reminded it's not really. Have to help DH spread some gravel, then to the sewing room!

Here's the fabrics I have narrowed it down to. Now to choose the finalists.... Lol
The colors are brighter than my pic shows. I just can't get nice bright pics lately..I'm sure the dark cloudy snowy days aren't helping. Kind of matching my outlook lately. So hoping some quilting with bright colored fabrics will help!

Kiffie those fabrics are AWESOME!!!

Jan,
I'm happy you like them! I have to admit, I agonize over fabric choices on every single project I make. Seriously, it takes me forever..and then I 2nd and 3rd guess myself. I changed my whole idea up on yours 3 times (so far).
My daughter-in-law has told me if I had less fabrics, it'd make it much easier. I looked at her like she had sprouted 3 heads:shock:.. haha
But I kind of have to say she's right. When I was in "Grammy's Fabric Shop" wandering around (evidently with a look of "Ruh-roh" on my face), my dh came in. I was talking to him about my idea, and about the comment our ddil had made that it'd be easier with less fabrics.
Bless his heart, my guy looked around, and said, "Probably so, BUT sometimes you need a certain shade of a certain color, right?". I could've kissed him! So I did ;).

Then I spent more time choosing fabric combos..lol.

Question: How do you feel about flannels or fleece? As in I'm thinking the flannels make a nice "fur like" or "downy as in ducky" texture.. Are you okay with that?

Klaws,
There's no way Teresa won't love what you make her!

Tlambing,
The lil St Patrick's quilt in your avatar pic (the one I thought was arriving in my mailbox
any day;)), did you make up the pattern?

Regards,
Kif

Thanks Kiffie..... I Must have misplaced your address ;)
The pattern is called "Heart to Heart" by Four Corners
its really just a modified log cabin block. Here it is for Valentines and st. Patrick's day.

Teresa, those are so pretty. I love that pattern. Thanks for sharing! :)

Oh, gosh, jaba must have been on fast forward, I got my mini already! It is so pretty. I love pinwheels and I am currently obsessed with polka dots. She gave me both. As usual the candy didn't make it into the picture. I was in the car when I opened the package and I had to eat it so it wouldn't melt. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Wow! Jaba, this is beautiful! Lucky you, Tesspug! I love the spring colors and the pinwheels. Gorgeous.

Tesspug, I commend you for sacrificing yourself and eating that candy before it melted and got all over your beautiful mug rug. LOL

Teresa, I love your heart-to-heart wall hangings! They are so versatile. You do wonderful work!

Tesspug what a beautiful mini you received from Jaba. She does such fantastic work!!!

Love the mini Jaba sent you!! I was her partner in doll quilt swap and she made me one with pinwheels it is my favorite,still hanging in my sewing room. !!!

Beautiful mini, Jaba!! You gotta love polka dots and pinwheels!!
Lucky you, Tesspug!! And I admire your dedication to making sure that the candy didn't get on your mini!!

Thanks for the info Tlambing...um, misplaced my address...um, okay...I'll go with that:thumbup:.

Jaba did an amazing job on that mini..ah-mazing!!!

Tesspug,
Way to save your car upholstery from a mess of melting "through a closed wrapper" chocolate! I'm with ya, girl!! We have to do what we have to do...

OK I am watching all of you and may get brave enough to jump in next month. I am one of the newbies you were talking about earlier. Tesspug how pretty, Jaba your work is just beautiful. I am not sure I am qualified to join this swap, I need to practice on one for myself.

I just dropped in, and laughing at listening to all of you.:D Lots of fun going on I can see. lol... It's bright and sunny here today and that last snow we got is melting. Yay! Have fun girls, and try to behave yourselves. :)

So many pretty minis.

Tessbug just love that mini pinwheel from jaba. That definitely says SPRING!!!

Well I'm beginning to wonder whether my idea is going to work out in the end! I've put in a bit of work to get to this point, so I'm sure hoping I can sew all of these tiny pieces back together! If I can, it's going to be splendid. Here's hoping.

I'm sure it will be fabulous! :thumbup: I can't wait to see it.

Well, I have to say...this was not one of my brighter ideas, but I got all of those tiny pieces together today. I think you're gonna like it klaws. It has purple......Here's a sneak peek!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]512985[/ATTACH]

As long as it has purple in it...I love it already! :D

Those are tiny pieces! Hope you didn't burn your fingers trying to iron those.

Teresa, those really are some small pieces! Can't wait to see the finished mini. Mine is done and I am finishing up a couple of extras then it will ship off to MizMelly. I am hoping it will be tomorrow along with a couple of other swap packages.

Oh boy! Deb, you are way ahead of me!! I just finished up the family project yesterday and have (sorta) decided what I want to make for your mini. Guess I better get a move on!!!

Melanie, no problemo. Do not stress. I'll be here when you're ready to send. lol This is supposed to be fun, remember? Glad you got your family project done. Hugs!

So, last night I spent a good hour rummaging in my stash. Would you believe out of the HUNDREDS of fabrics that I own, I do NOT have the one particular fabric I need??? Does this mean I HAVE to go fabric shopping AGAIN??? Oh the infamy!
Such torture.....

Oh, poor mizmelly. We're here for you. Fabric shopping is such a difficult task.

Super excited about my mini. I've got the fabric cut and tested putting a block together. Looking forward to how it all comes together!

Don't know how I missed the sign-up for March. Anyway, I will definitely be on the look-out for April's sign up. Have fun ladies.

DH went to the post office today. Sent off a birthday present to my great nephew, an Easter wallhanging for my DN, a pillow and painted rock for my DD and jaba's mini quilt. Hope she likes it.

I'm sure I will! I'll be on the lookout for it

I agree, it doesn't look like a bright idea...it looks like a stupendously awesome idea!!
I can safely say that, as I've not seen 1 thing made by Tlambing that wasn't stupendously awesome!

Suzy0879,
Come on and join us! We're really all pretty sweet...and we love newbies!!
I'm a newbie myself over on the pin cushion swap...
