thanks, brenda! i'm ready for it to be on it's way!

K I love the idea for July and August.

awsome !!!! Nancia, great job on your quilting.:thumbup:

Nancia, what a nice job you did! It's so different! I registered mine a few days ago but haven't received a # yet! She must really be backed up! Love your work!

DebbyG - What a great little mini you did! That's an awesome church and quilting too!:o

Nancia, Awesome job. I love how it turned out. The beads add a bit of sparkle. Even on a lazy summer day. Thanks for all the memories this little gem brings with it. :) (giggle)

Krystyna, also loving the theme for August. Solids/Amish. What an AwesomE show this year has been!! :)

OK, so far I received one PM from someone who doesn't like the solids idea. Soooooo .... I think we will do it and, as usual, the theme is optional. I will tell you this much ... the person who isn't wild about solids does phenomenal work so whatever her partner receives will be awesome.

I got my package yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow do I LOVE it!! Thank you Abonda! It is funny how you captured "ME" in just a couple of emails. I hope I did as well for you. I brought both to work with me this morning and they are a hit. Unfortunately, I will not be mailing mine until tomorrow or Saturday. All I have to do is sew down the binding, but I had hopes of finding time for a couple more details. It is good to go now, but still in my eyes I see something more! LOL Hopefully there will be a picture at the end of this post.

Buslady, Abonda, Beautiful. I love your touches of handwork.

Abonda, what a summery beauty! Love the stitching on the butterfly!
Nancia, hope you'll show us the finished quilt. She's looking good!

So just to be repetitive and make sure I got this right, especially since I just now got caught up on this thread, that we are doing patriotic for July and solids for August. Both being optional if we do not have fabric that will work or have no ideas correct?
