Just for fun and as a teaser, i wrote a little poem about the subject of your quilt. See if you can guess!

Her sweetheart is such a flashy gent,
The chicks all stop and stare.
Her feathers aren't ruffled; she is content.
His love she does ensnare.

Yeah, yeah... Emily Dickinson, I'm not. :o

Yea, like I said, confused. For a minute I was afraid I had mixed up the actual mailings. Not A LOL moment. Actually kind of scarry sometimes.
It is Abonda that got her DQ a couple days ago, she must be busy or out of town, havent seen her post. Anxious to hear what she thinks.

More cute quilts! A girl can't be gone for a weekend here...she just misses all the pretties! :)

Here's another pic of what I sent that's a tiny bit clearer. :)


Love your birdie, Ronda!

brenda21 06-27-2012 06:50 AM

abonda/buslady that is soooo awesome!!

buslady 06-27-2012 07:43 AM

Thank you ladies for all the kind comments. I had so much fun making that one. Yellow is my favorite color and it does make me smile to look at it. I used a lot of new to me techniques. The butterfly was my first "off canvas" project on my embroydery machine. Well, I should say second, my dog ate half of the first one! I still love him though!!!! And the second one turned out even nicer anyway. LOL Now I am anxious to do more! I have 3 started for July. That way I can choose for my partner. Again, thanks ladies, I needed that ego boost this morning!

QuilterMomma 06-27-2012 11:52 AM

Love those little kitties on that quilt buslady/abdona. So cute and now you have a wonderful bouquet of flowers all year long. It is a joyous little quilt.

Mine are a little slow this month. They tops are made, just have not been out to the longarm to get quilted. Got the flu myself now soooooo tired and yet, I get to be at work. If I don't go in, there is nobody at the office so compliment is I am not replaceable, bad side is can't miss work when sick. Oh well, life goes on and I get to do some hand stuff. Hopefully get them quilted tonight so I can do bindings and mail tomorrow. Upside, my partners are in same boat as me.

sewbeadit 06-27-2012 12:16 PM

Well it sounds good to me, who is Emily Dickinson anyway,lol:thumbup:

This is very pretty. I love the way the trianlges seem to "melt".

Krystyna 06-27-2012 12:38 PM

QuilterMomma, hope you're better soon. I had no idea you could get the flu at this time of year.

Lynnie25 06-27-2012 01:20 PM

rwquilts, have you received my quilt yet?? It can't be too far away now

QuilterMomma 06-27-2012 02:22 PM

Apparently you can. Here is has been colder, with lots of rain. We have only had two days this whole month that it actually hit 81 degrees. My insurance has expired because DH changed jobs so I am hoping not strep but I have nausia as well so tend more towards the flu. I am getting as much rest as possible only because body says going to and drinking the herbal tea to rid the body of germs causing issue. The orange juice and rhubarb slush help some but the acid is not comfortable. Will get them done. I live for those specific days ya know, have to keep that appointment. Thanks for the get well.

I was thinking this morning about your quilt and wondering when it will get here. It has to be soon now. Will post pics and pm you when it comes for sure! :)

Sorry you're sick QuilterMomma...yes, it's been a cool rainy season so far here in the northeastern part of Washington.

QuilterMomma 06-27-2012 02:31 PM

So am I :( Glad we have the moisture, but can the cold leave?:shock:

I am thankful. I love rain and cool weather. I didn't say I wasn't. I am just sorry QuilterMomma is sick. :)

sewbeadit 06-27-2012 04:59 PM

I thought I had written already that I had sent my DQ to my swap partner, but since I couldn't find it anywhere I guess I didn't. But, I did mail it today to my swap partner,lol. Barb it is coming your way. sewbeadit

NinaLemon 06-27-2012 05:10 PM

Love the kitties with the flowers!!! I love the colors, it will be very hard not to smile when you look at the quilt!

Happy Cat Quilter 06-27-2012 05:17 PM

My grandson and I are visiting Northern New York State, it is so much cooler here than in TN. Hubby says it is in high 90's even flirting with 100. It is so much cooler here don't even need the AC :)
I just love all the quilts each one is so pretty and colorful!

Where in NY are you visiting? It has been cool lately, but last week it was HOT!!! Well hot for a NYer :D There were 2 days in the high 90s and I was dying! LOL.

Emily Dickenson didn't have much of a personal life, Lara, so I'm glad for you that you aren't her. Your quilt can go right with the chickens in my living room. Didn't come today, though. Waiting less than patiently.

Happy Cat Quilter 06-28-2012 03:00 AM

outside of Malone and it was hot last week. Actually it was just right we had a water slide birthday party for the youngest boy. There were eight little guys running around with water guns and slipping and sliding in the water :)
I was born in this area but moved to TN in 1993.

ok, so the curiosity demon got me last night and I opened my squishy from Quilty Mom - what a treat! Her quilt invokes the memories of summer at my gram's in Atlantic City playing in the sand by the shore. I love the bright colors and the fancy stitches between each block (can't see them in the picture)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]345186[/ATTACH]
These flip flops on the back are just too cute! She also sent a starfish mug rug, a flip flop with nail stuff inside, and two hand made neck coolers! Those will be handy over the next few 100 degree days!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]345188[/ATTACH]
Thanks Sue - you are a wonderful partner. I hope they deliver your squishy soon.

Krystyna 06-28-2012 03:33 AM

What a delightful quilt! You really got a treat, Paula. Quilty Mom, well done!

As for the weather, I live by the ocean and it really has been delightful here the last several days. One night it went down to 58! Today it's supposed to hit 90, but there is a wonderful breeze coming from the shore so it doesn't really matter.

I have one block done for July and am pretty happy with it.

buslady 06-28-2012 04:47 AM

Great DQ Quilty Mom, Dragonfly you are lucky to have it!! I just love the bright colors for this time of year. Here in Michigan it is supposed to get in the high 90's. Add the humidity to that and it is a good day to head to the beach!!

brenda21 06-28-2012 06:49 AM

very cute quilt Dragonfly!

TammyB 06-28-2012 08:11 AM

Carron, love your bright California quilt!

Judith1005 06-28-2012 08:17 AM

oo, ah, quiltymom, dragonfly, I LOVE your little quilt. What awesome use of the prints. Makes me feel home. :)

Hey, did you stop by and say "HI" to HobbyKat1955?" She lives in NY!

rwquilts 06-28-2012 08:28 AM

Quilty Mom, what a cute little beach quilt and fun mug rug you sent dragonfly! Love the bright colors for summer...so fitting. Makes me want to drive to a beach and dig in the sand! :)

I received the most delightful and AWESOME DQ from JuanitaBean
yesterday. Must say that there is NO AMOUNT of photographs that
can even begin to show the detail of this.

Gonna be hard for me to come close to that awesomeness.

I am going to have to make 2 posts in order to show all the pictures
of the great quilt and other goodies I received.

Now for the second group of pictures these are the extra goodies
that Juanita sent to me.

How COOL is the thread catch? I LOVE it and now it sits beside
my machine.

The angel pin is adorable can't wait for Christmas to wear it.

Always need pads of paper to write on, since I misplace more
than I use LOL.
