I am going to try to attach the pix I talked about.

Awsome! Great Job!

WOW! I especially love the second one.

I thought a cheater cloth was something that was already made to look like a quilt and you just did the quilting. I sewed none of that together, just used it to practice quilting stitches?

Very even stitching, you did well.

Very nice quilts! Your hand quilting looks awesome!

UH, beginner?? Oh my, what amazing quilts. Glad to see you've joined us and I'm looking forward to more pictures.

gosh, yes! your stitches make me :mrgreen: with envy.

it just occurred to me ... why do we call pre-printed quilt tops "cheaters", but don't say the same when we piece our own tops, but have somebody else do the quilting? :roll:

don't both phases require skill, care and a lot of attention? and isn't it great that we can divide the labor according to our own preference? i, for one, hope to someday piece a top worthy of the "jacquemoe" touch. ;-)

no cheaters here. just a whole lotta smart quilters. :P

Very nice quilts. I think the so called cheater quilt is a wonderful to practice stitches - and they look great. May have to try that.

:thumbup: Great work! You have a bright future as a quilter.

Both of your pieced quilts are really nice. You have done a great job. I think you should move your Beginner status up to Intermediate now. :D

What wonderful encouragement! Thank you all, I will try to send some pix of my SIL who lives in Costa Rica. She has made me 2 quilts, along with her mother and husband who quilt. My SIL does not speak English, but we have a wonderful time together. Quilting is a language all of its own.
My basement was flooded this winter, but most of my fabric and my pictures were up high! I'm getting inspired again.

I'm not sure where to put these, but these are pix of my SIL's quilts she made for me, without knowing how to quilt, because she learned I liked them. She, her husband and Momma made these!

Wow, Pam, what an awesome SIL you have!! Your family is very talented!! So neat you have quilting in common.

Wonderful......love them all and you are doing great!!!! and so is the SIL......what a wonderful thing to have in common!!

Hey, your doing great. Keep it up! :P

Beautiful!
I love the one you made for yourself!

great work! I love the 3rd one with the stars and log cabin that you tied for yourself.

You are all so helpful. Weekend I am gone now - will be be back soon. You are amazing women. Pam
