I'm going to try showing a few things I have done. Remember now, I'm still a novice at these things. The Christmas Bow I made for my mother in law last year, and the Christmas Tree was for my mom. The Irish Chain is not finished yet, but someday hopefully will be for a granddaughter. It looks like blue and white, the blue is a small flower print. It has not got the backing done yet, and I hope to make a pillow sham to go with it. No big hurry since my one son doesn't have a steady girl yet, and the other isn't getting married until next spring. I hope someone lets me know if the pictures don't come through :lol:

Oh no worries on the being kid part--this group is 100% kind. :D

But the photos didn't show up.

what did I do wrong. I tried to attach files.

No pictures yet, but I'm sure what you made is pretty!

NO pics! I liked the other one. I'm 100 % sure I will like these too.

Try posting again. Give it a little while after you press the submit button before you click out. okay. Elle

if it does not work this time, I give up. :(

sorry 2 of the same picture

If at first you don´t suceed.....la la See it worked. Lovely work there,
Love the bow and the tree. Looks like there were very tiny pieces in your quilt. Really beautiful. Elle :thumbup:

Very Pretty. I love Irish Chains, so simple but so much impact!!! Great job on all of them!

That Christmas tree is my FAVORITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a joyous way to use log cabin squares!! :D :D You're a fabulous quilter--the workmanship shouts it. :wink:

Just love them all. Are you sure these are you first? Don't look Like it. :wink: :wink: :wink: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Love them all. I think I might have the tree pattern or one close to it. Now I will have to make it.

Gorgeous! You sure don't sew like a novice! Make more!

Awesome!!!

Thanks for all of the kind words!! :lol:

Great work. Love them. Are you sure you are a beginner.

All are beautiful, but I especially love the Christmas tree! You sure don't sew like a beginner!

I was just wondering how long you have been quilting, as your work looks pretty much perfect to me :D

I love the xmas tree with the little bows on it :D

Very very pretty!

Very nice. Novice?? you say! Looks great to me.

What a great job! The tree is awesome!
GOOD GOING!! WOOHOO!!!

what inspiration for Christmas projects, they are all lovely! I love the "bow" wall hanging---wish their was enough time in the day to copy them all. I have a friend who is crazy about Christmas and it would just fit her decor.

p.s.--I've had difficulty loading pictures, too. I've attributed it to my dial-up connection. It seems to take forever. (and I've tried unsuccessfully to change my avatar photo--don't know how to size it....oh, well.....)

They are all great - the blue and white is a classic, always a favorite!

My list of things to make continues to grow. The Irish chain has been on my list for awhile and yours is simply great. I really like the bow, I like the way you used the stipped fabric. Fun. You did a great job.

What do you mean be kind. They are beautiful!

All three are wonderful-the Irish chain is my favorite, but both Christmas ones are adorable too!!

Very nice work. Your projects look very professional to me!

Your quilts are lovely. The Christmas tree is my favorite - absolutely adorable!

That's some fantastic work for a "newbie". Come on, you can't be?

Those are beautiful!!! How careful were you to get all the stripes running the same way in the bow!!! You do awesome work!!! The Irish chain is just gorgeous!!

They came thru this time. I really like them all. Keep up the good work

Well worth the wait. I especially like the bow.

thanks again to everyone for the kind responses. I really do love doing this in my spare time, so your encouragement means a lot.

Great job on everything!

All of them are great. Great job. Aren't irish Chains fun to do. Did a double Irish Chain for my first quilt. It was a queen size. Love all of yours. Keep up the great work.

Beautiful!! I made the bow as my very first project but I made it in purples for a doll quilt.

I always open my pictures in the PAINT program. Once there, you can right click and choose "stretch/skew". I reduce mine to at least 50% but usually all the way down to 25% (of the original) before trying to attach them on this message board. I also have dial-up, and it works so much faster this way. If the picture is a keeper, I make a copy of it first, so I still have my originals in good quality.

tarib: I love your work! I don't know which is my favorite. Great job! Thanks for sharing!

They're all so pretty, I couldn't pick which I liked best!
