Wow, a package came today, i can't believe it! :) And it is so cute and funny! Ok, there's lots of sailboats, and she even sent some surfer boys!!! Now that's being considerate lol lol Some surfer boys to do whatever i want with? lol And tons of palm trees, and ukeleles (don't know if i spelled that right), i love ukelleles, and my own volcano, and a whole tons of pre-cut floral fabric! Geez Terri, so nice of you! :) Now if anyone wants to know why im getting a package, well, it's cus i made a fool out of myself lol lol lol One day Terri posted that she had a parcel in the mail to Barb, and i'm like oh my gosh oh my gosh, a parcel for me? lol Well, turned out she meant another Barb, and well lol.....Made sucha fool of myself, and Terri, you are too sweet! lol Thank you so much Terri :)

I want to know how she got those surfer boys in that little envelope!! Oh your talking about on the fabric :lol: :lol:

I was starting to get worried about the package arriving. Sheesh, takes you as long to get a package as it does for me! lol

I'm glad you like the fabric. That's just stuff that I got when I was in Hawaii and it's just sitting on the shelf taking up space.

No, you didn't make a fool out of yourself. I made the mistake when I posted the names. So, a good friend of yours and others here, PM'd me your addy and I sent it out. I was going to tell you, but decided to keep it a surprise. I was so hoping you would have gotten it the day you weren't feeling good.

How did I get those surfer boys in there? Fabric Magic! lol

Enjoy your fabric. I just wish, and I tell everyone that I send the fabric to,,,that I wish the colors were more vibrant.

Enjoy!!

Awe, that's so sweet of you Terri, but no, today was a real nice day to get your package, cus i'm still not feeling well, havent hardly been out of bed in days, and i don't know why, so your package got me up and outta bed :)

Glad you like it...Here's a couple pics of what I did with that fabric...

Too funny Melissa lol :)

Ooooh, too cool Terri! They're beautiful!!! And i love seeing what you did with the fabric, helps to give me ideas! :) Now i'm gonna have to think lol

Those were some of the first REAL quilts I made. I sort of cheated when I made them. They are all 40 inches wide. I didn't want to cut and piece the backing, so I made sure the top was the same width as the fabric I was using for the back. They are all little lap quilts I made and sent out for Christmas presents. I think they went out in 2005.

Quilters dont cheat, we make up our own rules as we go!!!
Barb have fun with what ever you decide but show us when you are done

I cheat too lol lol I love them, and really great for your first quilts! Awe, thank again Terri, you're a sweetheart :)

You are so welcome! I just love seeing that smile on your face! :)

Oh oh.... I think I hear Barb M humming allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll those songs that Elvis sang in Blue Hawaii...."Rock a Hula Baby.... and the Beach Boy Blues..... I personally love it when he sang on the radio- hunka hunka burnin' love :):):):):) I bet your sewing machine will be 'hot' from sewing the fabric :):)

Terri - Now thats not cheating in my book, its called using your noggin!!

I wish somebody had guided me to being sensible about the size of this first quilt of mine.....Its so blinking big I am quilting it in two halves, I THOUGHT I had sat and studied and planned and measured and done everything possible to ensure a smooth journey to success....BUT realised as soon as I started to layer the first half that as I had added sashing of course the 'dead' centre of the quilt was in the middle of the centre sashing so I would have to join to one side....I had estimated using two full widths of fabric for the backing using a central vertical join - so basically one side is two inches wider than the other....so it has been a nightmare trying to position the layering of the second section exactly but with absolute nothing to spare...so hope to God the sides are straight...... :(

So you see after all my ramblings, if I had JUST stuck to doing a 40" like you................. :roll: :roll:

Unless I am following a pattern, NONE of my quilts are less than 90x90

Great job!

thanks!
