So sorry to hear about your brother, Evelyn. My prayers are with you and your family as you begin this difficult journey.
|
Oh prayers to your brother and his family. Don't worry about us we will be here when you get back. Also I will send out the other four blocks to you and glad you were able to make a block with ease. It really isn't a hard pattern. Dragonfly Nana your right pin all your blocks together so I know who made what. Next week I will start on the star blocks. Should be fun

Evelyn, sorry to hear about your brother!
I haven't gotten them put together into a row yet, but I wanted to post the blocks I completed for your row! [ATTACH=CONFIG]388728[/ATTACH] |
Kelly your blocks are gorgeous!

Paula....I am kinda confused on how to do your signature dragonflys. I don't know why I am confused but do you think you could better explain it to me
|
Sure - I draw the dragonfly on applique paper (I made myself some templates a while ago) then choose a light colored fabric scrap from the ones I used in the quilt to adhere it to.
When the quilting is mostly done I attach the applique to the back in a corner where I won't be quilting by using a half ladder stitch on my machine. Some people call the stitch by another name but I can't remember what right now. Then I finish quilting, bind it, and then I write on it with a pigma pen and press the dragonfly to set the ink before I wash it. Hope that helps. |
so do we just sign one wing and put it back in the bag?

Yes - please choose one fabric that you used in the row for me, iron a wing to the back side of that fabric and then sign the front. I will trim them up when the come back and attach them all to a body that I make.
I guess since we only have four members I will be the fourth wing and the date will go in the body. Thanks for asking. |
melinda, I would love it if you would post the instructions for the block on line. :thumbup:

Ok Everyone I got the four other blocks done. I will send these off to Evelyn so that she has all five. Please don't attach the blocks together just make them and then I will mix and match them up when they get home. Hope everyone is having a great week.
