I've been tossing around ideas for my theme - I'm leaning (falling) toward 'My Sewing Room'.
I can envision appliques of some of my antique machines, dress forms, pin cushions, spools of threads, scissors, mini quilts, sewing machine manufacturer emblems, quilting frames/hoops, and of course a piece block or two.
Yep, think that's gonna be my theme allright.
Hm, which machine shall I start making a fabric copy of? Willcox and Gibbs, the Davis, the...

QM- Does this mean you're in?
My list of ideas is growing - I went from a scrap of paper jotting down my ideas to a full size sheet. I added buttons, pins, knitting needles & yarn and machine oiling points to my list.
Can you say excited? I can't wait to start on my row. First I have to shut my mind off. :-) No wonder we connect.

This Quilt is beautiful!!! What a great theme! I was thinking of a Mary Poppins theme? Love Mary and have wanted to make one.... I am thinking of having her in the sky with her umbrella, WE could add kites, merry go rounds, penquins, chimney sweeps, bird lady, a bank, one man band, chalk paintings.... what do you think?

Sent in a pm with a question first. I just don't know for sure what I would do and what theme I would want to do. I have to use up a UFO if I do. The only round that will be a challenge is the first and that one is mine. I am running short on my total of UFOs this month since I have been doing the large ones so have to watch time and then I am speaking at the quilt show in October and have nothing done on that yet. I know, I have until December 1 to complete. Thinking though, thinking real hard. I could fill a couple of themes real easy, snowmen and your sewing theme one for sure, could even do the farm one with ease.

Oh alright, I will join in. Yep, there goes me saying I am not doing any more swaps until I get my UFOs done. This will have to be a mixer in for me and I am going to see how I can utilize something out of my UFOs to apply here. So that will be my challenge. I won't start until september or October but will meet the mailing deadline on time.
