Ok. I emailed (yesterday, I think). No word back yet, but that's ok.

I want to throw a suggestion out here for you guys to consider. It's a fully no-pressure thing.. just an idea.

If we, as a group, each have our first rows ready prior to the Dec 1 deadline, do we want to start early?

I'm not rushing anyone... like I said, just an idea that came to me.

I am good with that - though I don't have mine ready yet I know I can be before Dec 1.

Sounds good to me. I haven't started mine either but hope to this weekend.

I have not started mine nor have a concrete idea, let alone order fabric. I have a full size quilt I'm trying to get done for this month. So I would rather not, but will go along with what everyone else would like to do.

I havent started my blocks yet because Of the hats I have to get out by Nov1. Hope to have them done by Oct 18. I dont know how soon I can send them out. But as soon as I finish my row I dont mind sending it early.

So....how are y'all coming along. Has everyone checked in?? If not, please PM me ASAP. Thanks!! :D

Ok there's no rush at all! I just thought I'd throw it out there in case we were all closer to ready. Don't rush, don't worry about it, and take your time.

I'm waiting to hear back from Qbee who is waiting to hear back from the site admins about the thread name.

I hope to get some of mine done this weekend. I have already pulled fabric from my stash for a couple of your themes.
I don't want to take the chance I might use the "perfect" fabric for something else before I get your rows.

How is everyone's week going? I am kicking my own butt right now; we're going through re-accreditation at my university - I work in the education office and so everyone is so unbearably stressed out that it feels like I am also stressed out - except I'm not because I have nothing at all to do with it other than being in the office when it all goes down. I came home to a sick husband and a sick 8 y/o boy and so I spent the evening sewing my boom blocks and avoiding the germs.

Oh, Kelly - I understand the 2nd hand stress thing. When others are stressed it does seem to rub off on those around them. Sorry to hear about the germy son & hubby- those are nasty this time of year.

I am heading home Friday rather than Sunday and plan to get my row done, as well as my Secret Santa. I have been trying to get my profile and stuff figured out but not having a lot of luck. Oh well, Rome was not built in a day.:rolleyes:

How is everyone doing? I am telling you what, I cannot wait for Nov 9th. I'll be done with my school observations and might even get a day to take a nap!

Kelly - I like the idea of a nap! My work schedule has been heavier than normal for the last few weeks but I have been making good progress on my round for Nancy's center.

I managed to work on my Row among other things. My Honey Dude has been on vacation so we have had good time doing what we needed to do but together.

Sounds like fun Melody.....with the storm headed in this weekend I might be able to get some work done on mine!

How's life treating everyone?

I just started my second row for the other group - I'm hoping I'll have it ready to mail by Monday. I'm going to mail them out together, so Dragonfly, I will post my tracking code once it has left my house!

How did everyone fare between Sandy, the East-Coast Blizzard, and Brutus (that was the north-western blizzard we had last week)? We've got a Chinook wind coming in that is melting the snow and makes it almost nice outside (40F+) and so I'm having a much easier time driving around now that it's slush, not ice. We got close to 2 feet of snow in a 36 hour period last week... I was doing classroom observations out in the mountains (literally) and was so lucky to only have to make a return drive in that garbage - and it was my last day of observations, too! Today is my first real day off since the beginning of the semester and I've been working on my row for group #5 and catching up on homework early.

Thursday night is the opening of the final Twilight movie and I've already got my 12:01 am tickets! I cannot wait!

Package departing to Dragonfly Nana

Tracking Code: 9405 9036 9930 0074 6946 14

Scheduled pickup for this afternoon!

Kelly, your packaged arrived safe and sound. I just got home from an emergency trip to PA and it was waiting for me - so very pretty!

Yea! Take your time recuperating! I'm off to go do some final projects!

Hey Kelly - You used very pale colors in your row - Would you mind some darker colors in my row? I have a great chocolate and blue fabric I was thinking of using but wanted to check you preferences first.
If you prefer to stay in the pale shades that is cool too.

If it will look awesome, then I don't mind!

Hi everyone I sent my row off today to TheMamaHauser. The tracking # is 0312 1430 0002 2001 6399. Cant waite to get my next row. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

ebellot - did you take a picture before you sent it? If so, please show us.

I sent mine out to Texasunset today too. Tracking # 9405 5036 9930 0219 6096 42 and here is a picture.

No I didnt. I dont know how . Maybe if we ask TheMamaHauser pleasepleaseplease she might send a picture of my row. I hope to learn one day. Love your row Dragonfly

Hello everyone,
I actually belong to Groups 6 & 7 but have been popping in and out of the groups to see what everyone is doing.

Couldn't leave this group without saying how much I love this row!

best,
d

Thanks ladies. The colors are a little darker that what I usually play with but they were in my stash and calling out to be made into stars. :thumbup:

Kelly, can you post a pic of ebellot's row? Please....:cool:

Soon as it gets here!

TheMamaHauser did you get my row? I tracked it and said it was dilvered.

It did arrive today - I haven't gotten it opened yet because I've been painting all afternoon/evening because... my longarm comes on Saturday!?!?!??! and I just found out about it last night. So, I promise tomorrow, when I have clean hands, I will open it, press it, and take a picture for you all!

Here is Evelyn's row.

Just a reminder, make sure you are insuring the rows when you send them. If the package disappears or is damaged, the USPS will reimburse you but ONLY if it is insured!

I put my first row at $100 and then figured I'd increase it by $50 for each additional row.

Oh my is that pretty!
Thanks for the reminder Kelly.

Aafter looking up images of "shabby chic" I will NOT be using the blue/brown combo for my row for you Kelly. While it is a great fabric, it will not go with the overall feel/look you has chosen. Not to worry - I have found some other great combos in my stash that will accent your row. Whew!

No problem.

I'm just curious, has everyone sent their row out yet? I know Melody is still working on getting hers out - what's everyone else's status?

Mine was sent.

Well ladies, Melody has had to drop out. So what that means is we're going to need to shift around who sends to who - and we're only going to have 4 rows added on to each of our quilts rather than the 5 (since we now only have 4 members).

So, the change now is that Texasunset is going to mail to ebellot instead of Melody. I haven't heard that Texasunset has mailed out her row yet (and Melody hasn't received it) so hopefully this will not be a huge headache.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sorry to hear that Melody had dropped out. I hope all is well with her and her family.

Four rows is fine with me - 48 x 60 is a good size. Others might have to add another row themselves or use larger/multiple borders

hope everthing is fine with Melody and her family. I know how it is. My brother was dignosed last week with cancer and I had to go over to see him. This happened to me at my last row roben one of the ladies decided she couldnot do it and keep the two rows sent to her so we started all over agan. It was still fun and we ended up with five rows. Nomatter how many we are we will finish and I dont mind doing more than one row. Merry Christmas everyone now I have to go shopping

I emailed Texasunset directly about it - have either of you heard from her at all? She hasn't been on the board since mid-October and to the best of my knowledge, Melody did not get a row yet from her.

Paula, did you get any confirmation that she rec'd your row?

Kelly - I have not heard from her directly but the postal tracking shows it was delivered on December 3rd
