so here os the whole collection all together, I have to decide what to do to get them together, I want some sashing or something, I will have to trim a bit as I cut them 6 1/2 unfinished, so sewn together they will be 24, Though, hmmmm, any other ideas?

Cutebuns, I love your snowflakes! I kept checking your groups thread to see what you'd come up with . . . this one will be so much fun to watch it grow. What a great personality it will have. :lol:

here is my center

MadQuilter 10-15-2009 08:54 AM

Oh cute, they are delicious and delightful!

blueribbontoes 10-15-2009 09:07 AM

I stayed up last night to finish embroidering my label- only to rush to the post office this morning to find it closed. (Only the office- Burst Water pipe.) Fabulous. I will get it out tomorrow, as if the local office isn't back open, I will drive 45 min to the next closest one. I would do that this afternoon, but my husband has the car. Its just not my day! So much for starting out the IRR on the right foot! Lol! I haven't heard from whomever is sending me their center, so I guess I'm not the only disorganized one. Lol. That's ok.

I embroidered my label, but YES, you may use a pen!! :)

Ninnie 10-15-2009 09:12 AM

Love your center cute!!!
I have a dozen ideas running around in my head , too bad i don't get to work on this one :D :D :D
Can't wait to see what it becomes!!!!

blueribbontoes 10-15-2009 09:15 AM

I get yours first, Cute Buns! I have to start brainstorming and fabric shopping! Too cute!

cutebuns 10-15-2009 09:22 AM

Thank you Ladies, I am just finishing up stuffing it in an envelope to get to the post office. I am cold and almost didn't get out of bed this morning.


Blue, just have a lot of fun with it, anything goes.

pennyswings 10-15-2009 01:26 PM

I like that design Pam for Elle's center. Looks like a giant log cabin block, which I love.

Love your center Pam. Love the colors and the corners going into the center.

Love the blocks, so cute, snowflakes with faces. LOVE IT!!

I have the labels done. I found out that Omak might be doing what I wanted to do, I have done 6 individual labels for the quilt and when it is done they will be put on the back of it approx where the row is. And I have decided to finish this up and send it on it's way, though I am wondering just how far to take it, I am going to be sewing them together, and rather than cut them a bit smaller and put some sashing in, (they are 6" finished) I was thinking of putting rick rack on or something like that (thought what Eddie did with the name thing would look good and have it frayed), but I know I don't have enough now of the rick rack, should I wait until it comes back or the other thing is that somewhere along the way can toss something on. Though with the clock ticking, I have to decide soon.

Elle, love your block. Is the tree with the cherry blossoms appliqued? It is lovely.

Please post your first block here and there are now 7 more days to go woo hoo. Here is my block to start you all off.

pennyswings 10-15-2009 01:33 PM

KGoodhand , I know why you are having a hard time choosing they are both beautiful.

pennyswings 10-15-2009 01:36 PM

Blueribbion, love your center, the colors and the design are beautiful.

sandpat 10-15-2009 03:09 PM

Those snowflakes are adorable! Wish I could work on that one too....darn...I see so many I want to work on! Glad you got it out on time!

Blueribbontoes...don't fret too much...we do want to encourage everyone to mail on time (because it will inconvenience the receiving person as they try to get it back on track)...but we do know that things happen, like burst water pipes!

Butterflyspain 10-15-2009 03:30 PM

[quote=pennyswings]Elle, love your block. Is the tree with the cherry blossoms appliqued? It is lovely.


Yes the tree is applique and the birds too, it wasnīt one of the easiest as the pieces were very small especially the flowers on the tree.

Elle

blueribbontoes 10-16-2009 04:52 AM

MAILED! WHoo hooo!

cutebuns 10-16-2009 08:40 AM

now it is a waiting game until they get where they are going, some people already have theirs.

Fraid so, it will be a couple of weeks before I get my one from America but the one from Ireland shouldnīt take so long. yes I am a glutton and have two rounds on the go.

Elle

cutebuns 10-16-2009 09:49 AM

I was hesitant with just the one, you can see why. I tend to work best at the last min but I hope to do better on the rounds. Though sounds like they will space themselves a bit if they keep on track.

pittsburgpam 10-16-2009 10:08 AM

It fills me with anxiety to have a deadline! I WANT to get my work done as soon as possible, otherwise it's a constant nagging in the back of my mind.

I really want to stay on top of the rounds and get them done early.

cutebuns 10-16-2009 10:11 AM

I am more of a procrastinator, I spend a lot of time playing instead of working, I am pretty much usually on time, some times even a bit early. And I have hopes of doing good and seeing if I can't be done with tons of time to spare, unfortunately around here, like gets turned upside down, we have had a rash of recent chaotic events, (some sadder than others)

Well they are both being sent out, just to two different groups! So we will have to see which one this group gets when the mail delivers it!!!
It will be a surprise for you as well as me!

Butterflyspain 10-19-2009 05:24 AM

Hi Everyone, Please either PM me or email me when you have your first border on, donīt put up a picture till I get Patrice to tell everyone which page the new borders all start on. Thank you.

Elle

cutebuns 10-23-2009 02:38 PM

yippee, yeahoo, it got here, I picked up the mail and in there was the envelope from Pittsburgpam, So now what to do, what to do, what to do. :shock:

pittsburgpam 10-23-2009 04:24 PM

Are you the first one to receive theirs? I haven't received mine yet.

It will be fantastic, whatever you do!

You should be finding out soon!!! If I am correct I believe the other group I am in already received my center. If correct I know which one you are getting!!! Now you just have to wait and see!!! :wink: :wink:

cutebuns 10-28-2009 03:53 PM

Has anyone else gotten their centers yet?

Butterflyspain 10-28-2009 11:47 PM

Hi there yes I have my centre for this group and also my centre for Group 3 which I am in. One centre went out late, as life got in the way, but apart from that I think mostly everyone has their centres now.

Hands up if you havenīt got your centre Elle

cutebuns 10-29-2009 12:01 AM

I have not been notified if my center got there. So either they just didn't say anything or they haven't gotten it yet.

KGoodhand 10-29-2009 03:52 AM

I am still waiting to receive Gywn's center!
My center should be at its destination soon, I sent it out on the 15th.
Hopefully it arrives safe and sound. I am going to track it as soon as I get the girls to school!

Yes I know that Gwyn said she sent it out on Monday 26th Oct, but she hasnīt posted a picture yet, I do realise however that she has a lot on her plate right now so hopefully we will see her centre soon.

Okay will check this out. Blueribbontoes should have received it by now, crickey American post is worse than Spanish mail, I used to think it was only us that had snail mail. :D
