The United States Postal Service is carefully hand-carrying the two Row Robins (virtualbernie & Linus) to your home, Shaysmema. I mailed them today (Tuesday). Belles

Karen I mailed Belles rows to you today.

Received verturalbernie and Linus from Bells today. Belles check my address you missed 1 number neighbor delivered it to me. I had already completed verturalbernies so just added it to rows. Hope you like it, now to start Linus row. Michelle I will mail to you next week.

Just saw I had signed in under GD name so sorry, the above message is from me.

Gramakitten, received the RR for Ripped on Scotch today. The photos of the RR are great, but nothing like seeing it up close and personal. They are all going to be stunning. Belles

You have a great eye! I would have have been afraid to match the colors just from the computer screen. It's a beautiful row! Thanks!

I got the rows from MaterialGirl yesterday. I'm a little late this month, I just moved and I'm still trying to unpack my new sewing room. I have yet to find the box with the thread in it!

Just to let you know I got Materialgrl's rows today. Love them. My favorite color combo this year.

Boy we sure are quiet here,must be alot going on, just about ready to send my next rows, will post when I do.

Expect to get Mish's quilt from Patty tomorrow so I can get to work on it.

I've finished the Square in a Square Row for Ripped on Scotch's RR, however, my block turned out a Square in a Square in a Square. Shaysmema, I will bring it to the post office tomorrow and this time I'll send it to your correct address.

I've been amazed how beautiful all the RR have been as each participant's row is posted. I so look forward to seeing my RR as each row is finished. We are all so thankful to materialgrl for organizing and overseeing this project. The board members who dropped out are sure missing out on a great project!

Here's my row, a Square in a Square in a Square with a Laurel Wreath embroidered in the center. Belles

I'M SO CONFUSED ! am i behind? i am only on row 4 which is september? how did you get to row 5? please tell me i'm not losing it completely :lol: thanks, lil

Nope, you're right on time. Row 1 was to be mailed on June 10th, Row 2 on July 10th, Row 3 on August 10 and Row 4 is not due until September 10th. I'm not sure how some people are sending out Row 4's already but it'll work out in the end (I hope! :roll: )

OMG Belles that is so beautiful, can't wait to see my rows. Who has them now? I have lost track, oh well when they get back to me I just know they will be beautiful. You are right the ones who dropped out have no idea what they are missing, this is just so much fun.

thanks for the piece of mind :!: lil

You're fine, Lil. I will be getting Mish's finished Row 3 tomorrow hopefully and will be doing row 4 on it before I send it to you in September.

I'm so glad that I wasn't the only one confused....LOL I was just thinking lately that I was behind on this swap. Glad to know I'm not.

reply to judyg and mishnjim: this really keeps you on your toes!! what a fun way to get a quilt....one row a month and bam, you have a quilt in a year. like the traveling pants ! (i didn't see the movie) glad i could be included in this! lil

I love it! I'm a little behind sorry ladies. I moved a couple weeks ago so just finished unpacking my sewing room. And then last night I broke my knuckle! Sewing should be interesting by my mom is going to help me out.

Ouch! Sorry to hear about your knuckle. Glad your mom can help you out.

Sorry if posting my photos confused anyone. I received Ripped on Scotch's RR from Grammakitten and was thrilled that I had aqua and aqua/brown fabric in my stash that matched so well. Then when I read that the row was to be Square in a Square and the embroidery Wreath template I had fit exactly in the center, I just couldn't stop myself from paper piecing and embroidering the ten blocks. Then, I was so very pleased with the results that I had to share with my sister quilters. I'll try to contain my enthusiasm with future rows....but I can't promise!!
Belles

Oh please don't stop posting pics! Your rows always look so nice and they give me inspiration. I believe the problem lays on my door step. I waited so long for Kerri to send me her row, then we realized that that wasn't happening so I rushed to do a row for her (the Linus quilt) and I think I sent it too soon. Then you and Gramakitten are such prolific quilters made short work of your rows and sent them along! I think we kind of got ahead of the game. If everyone just counts the rows they have then add the next row it shouldn't be a problem--I hope :oops:

Virtual bernie is right, just count the rows and do what ever row you need to do, some of us are in several swaps on this board so we need to get one done so we can stay straight on sending them all out ,If your fast and send them or on time and send them ,all that really matters is you finish your row and send it.I know I am in 3 swaps so I have to keep going back to each of their 1st. page to keep them all on schedule.Watch out lilinmichigan,you are new here, this place is addicting.I use to just lurk in the background and read all the info and tips,then I jumped in feet first ,wow do I LOVE this site

hi to belles and materialgrl (and everyone else), this is fun and addicting. i like the ideas and the pictures :D i am already planning the next rows.......thanks for the inspiration. lil

Belles no need to say your sorry. We were just making sure that we were still on track that's all. And I agree you are doing such beautiful work!!!

Belles, you can send the rows when ever you want, I like to get them so I can finish before they are due. Michelle, I can hold rows for you until the right month if you want.

i agree this does keep us all on track. sending when done keeps you a little bit ahead. doesn't hurt anybody. it's like christmas morning when you're a kid. can't wait to see what "santa brings". as long as we are all happy :D :D :!: i am going to try to do the same. lil

OK Shaysmema, the RR for Ripped on Scotch was mailed Thursday, 8-19. BTW, Ripped on Scotch included a label for all to sign. I ironed freezer paper to the back so it's easier for everyone to sign. Remember when you sign, make sure you iron the front of the label so the ink sets and doesn't disappear when it's washed. I know I said this before but - I LOVE THIS SWAP! Belles

I got Mish's quilt in the mail today from Patty. What a nice job she did on the log cabin blocks. My machine is in the shop so will be a few days before I can work on it, but it's going to be a beautiful quilt.

YAY...This is so much fun. And Shaysmeme, you can send the next group if you want that's fine. I need to get started on the one I have.

Belles received ripped on scotch's rows today they are beautiful can't wait to start working on them.

Ok Michelle, be on the lookout for the next rows, finished Project Linus and will mail in AM.

I'll be on the look out.

I have Material girl's quilt top now. It needs row four. I have already done a row four. Do I do it again? I am confused. Please help me figure this out. Gramakitten

No, please do not do another row 4. I replied to your pm regarding this. I'll pm you again.

I just had a brain fart. To many things going on. I received your row 4 yesterday. Very nice. I like to follow you, your work is so nice. Kathi

Why, thank you Kathi! I'm honored for the compliment! This row robin has helped my quilting tremendously! When I see the work you guys do, it makes me strive to do better!

I just finished Belle's 4th row. This one was quilters choice and I selected the Double Diamond pattern. I just got the new double diamond rulers and wanted to try them out. They were so much fun, I love the way that it came out. This is going to be the most gorgeous quilt when it is done! It will go into the mail tomorrow.

I just luv them thar diamonds, Kathy N! :thumbup:

WOW - WOW - WOW - Kathy N, you did a simply terrific row for my RR. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I too love the way they came out. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
