I was playing with ideas for the rows this weekend and here are my ideas at this point...and I should mention that they change alot...LOL :D I can't really know for sure until I get rows but at this point I'm thinking. Let me know what you think: For FQ Stash Queen's I'm going to try to make a row of paper towels for the middle that will take up the size of 2 blocks, then if I can find a pattern for a spoon and fork, I was going to try to make those the size of 1/2 block each one both sides of paper towels and then the last 2 blocks would be coffee mugs on each end. I have the directions for everything except the fork and spoon so if ya'll see one let me know. I put a picture of the paper towels below. Next I will get Nancy's stars. I am so hard on myself so of course I'm worried about the points matching but since I really like paper piecing, I think I'll do paper pieced stars. I'll play with colors when I see the row. Nancy....are you wanting mostly Batiks or any brights?? Like do you like solids, florals, prints?? And I know you said any black so I will look for pretty black on black fabrics. Of course, if you have favorite star block patterns, let us know :D Then I get Pamesue's....hmmm....you know....all I know is your colors. Do you have any favorite blocks? I really like paper piece and I can do raw edge applique like with the blanket stitch. I can do dresden plates, the little hex flowers, or just regular blocks. My LQS just got some really pretty pink/brown fabrics that are just beauiful. I think they are floral so of course I like them cause I'm a big "girly girl" but not everyone likes the whole flowery look. I'll post a picture of them before I buy though just to make sure you like them. Then I'll be the last person to put a row on TF Quilter's so that will make it alot easier with fabric choices 'cause I'll just need to pull everyone elses fabrics together. So like I said....I'm thinking either dresses or Silhouettes. This is going to be SO MUCH FUN!! I think we are all going to end up with beautiful quilts! :D OK.....can't get the picture but here is the link that shows the picture of the paper towel roll: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pgGd8vKz5Q...per+Towels.JPG |
Qbee...I am not picking...any block you want to make will make me happy. Looking forward to see all of the pictures.
hugs to all. |

I prefer batiks with the black, and that black can be a solid black. And please don't worry about points because I will be the LAST person to judge. All my stars have blunt edges, so don't be so precise that mine will stand out (lol). DON'T worry.

TF Quilter...here is your row....what do you?? I do not do hand embroidery (yours is wonderful)..so I did a little machine embroidery with old fashions blocks (churn dash, bow tie, ie..). I did redwork ladies with parasols (I used thread the color of the material in the blocks)
I really hope that you like it... :-) Please be honest! Redwork Ladies and blocks [ATTACH=CONFIG]172523[/ATTACH] |
OMG Pamesue -- that looks fantastic. Where did you find the embroidery designs? I couldn't find any ...
