Wouldn't that be great! *grin* "No, sorry, can't help you, I'm sewing..."

Well I finished the last block Monday night, sewed them together last night, so it will be going to the PO today!!!!

Short an Sweet 12-14-2011 03:33 PM

Booklady, the delivery confirmation says you should have your package on Friday!!

Short an Sweet 12-15-2011 01:12 PM

I received my top back today, I am going to try real hard to not open it and look at it till Saturday, that way Booklady should have hers also, Craft has gotten her beautiful top already, how you Robbi? and Saritabee? have ya'll received yours back yet?

Short an Sweet 12-17-2011 09:34 AM

I opened my box today, It is so beautiful, I love each and every row, the appliques Robbi and Robyn did are to to cute, and I love the Trees that saritabee and booklady did and the log cabin block from booklady and the colors of the center block from saritabee all were awesome, thank you ladies so much for your work on my top. I hope all of you enjoy yours as much as I am and will be enjoying mine

booklady 12-19-2011 07:23 AM

My box arrived! and it is GREAT!!!!! I'll try to get a pic when someone is home to hold it up! I've decided to sash it (not sure what color) and put a piano key border made with scraps. Then I'm going to send it to my Mom's church to be hand quilted. Hopefully get the pic up tonight or tomorrow. We're out of school so I have some time between holiday cleaning and events.

Short an Sweet 12-19-2011 08:22 AM

I'am so glad u like it, a keyboard border sounds cool, I hope you post pictures after the changes are made also

these are pics of the finished rows. Thinking of a muted green or med brown for sashing with a piano key border. Will let you know! THANKS TO EVERYONE for the wonderful work and effort!

Short an Sweet 12-29-2011 07:28 PM

has everyone gotten their rows back now?

Short an Sweet 12-29-2011 07:33 PM

lol see that's the beauty of sashing, none of that will even be noticed once the sashing and then the borders are added, I sure do love mine, it was going to go on the full bed in the guest room but now i may try to make it fit my king <sigh> decisions decisions

Hello, I am behind and hope you don't hate me. Between work, holidays, and down in the dumps (sorry but hormones are running wild) and again sorry. I have a few more details to add, then add the row and done. I hope you love it. All the quilt ladies at my quild and sewing friends love it. I have my row and I love it. I recieved it without the last row sewn on due to no room at her place to sew it on (moving and living along boxes lol) So I will show it soon. Thanks for your patience and support. Robbi.

Short an Sweet 01-18-2012 05:05 PM

Glad to hear all's well now, can't wait to see the last 2 quilt tops!!!!!!!!!

Hello, I'm done done done! It is too cool, I sure hope it is what you thought of when you sent it out. I need your address again I'm not finding it, I saw it but not sure where and want the right one. So PM me and I'll send it out. Robbi

Short an Sweet 01-25-2012 05:51 AM

Robbi & Saritabee, don't forget to show us ya'll finished tops, I don't plan on having this topic closed until we each get to finish them, so we can keep showing each other updated pictures, I plan on finishing my borders in February and then sending it to the quilter, maybe I will have iot back by March or April.

Hello wondering if you ever found the crow apples pattern. I would love to have them. Thanks Robbi

saritabee 01-27-2012 07:25 PM

That's a great idea!!
And it sounds like mine should be here sometime next week, so we'll finally get to see what it looks like. :)

Robbi24 02-11-2012 04:15 PM

Hello did you get your quilt top. I sent it out Mon. morning and its Sat. ??????????? Let me know I will take pics and post them.

Short an Sweet 02-20-2012 07:54 PM

Saritabee did receive her top, but had to go out of town again, she said she would post a picture when she gets back into town again lol

Robbi24 02-23-2012 05:37 PM

Here is my top, I love it. I showed the ladies I sew with and they love it too. Now to decide how to finish it. I think I want it to at least be a topper for queen for over white comforter, but wow what to put with all these great blocks..

Robbi24 02-23-2012 05:48 PM

How the h--- do you post pics on this new set up not finding where to add them help?

let me see
after it asks for the reason for editing, keep going down, to additional options, go to "manage attachments" click the button and choose your file from the "browse button" once selected go to the far right of the browse section and click the "upload" button. once it uploads it goes back to the browse screen again so just go to the bottom of the page and click the "close" button if you just back out then it wont save the jpeg. Once that is done you will be back on the "edit" page so just go to the bottom of the page and click the "save changes" and you should be done

Short an Sweet 02-24-2012 03:25 AM

hope that helps, excuse my messy sewing table lol

wow, look at all that fabric! *grin*
I rearranged my sewing corner yesterday to fit half of an executive-sized desk I got for free off craigslist... boy, what an adventure, getting that down the stairs into the basement!
Also I took pictures of the quilt top... and it's wonderful. I was so happy when I opened the box. As always with these sorts of things, the top wasn't anything like I expected, and far more awesome for it. Everyone's rows were so personalized - love it!
The sixth picture wouldn't attach for some reason, but I'm going to try to attach it in a different post ~

saritabee 03-08-2012 08:13 AM

Hm, well, looks like it actually attached anyways even though it said it didn't.
Anyways. Love the idea of keeping the thread open so we can see how they all turn out...
Did anyone decide to do the 2012 Round/Row Robin, or is everyone taking a year break? :)
Cheers ~

Short an Sweet 03-08-2012 11:36 AM

I never saw a topic for 2012?

Boy, you guys, thank you for those giant basting stitches! That was by far the quickest bout of seam ripping I've ever had the pleasure to rip. *grin*
