Glad it made it safely. Will be watching for what you do with it.

Finally found some fabric today for Robert's and Patty's centers. Hope they work out as I hope they will. They are going into the wash shortly. I hope to actually be able to sew tomorrow afternoon for the first time in more than a week.

That's beautiful Robert what's on the corners?

all very nice!!

Very nice block!

They are monagram medallions it has lattice background with metallic gold and then the most incedible satin embroidery around it. I didn't put in Abonda's monogram in case she didn't want it, but I know there is someone in Maine that has a machine that can put a monogram on them for her.
I had a blast doing tis part of Abonda's quilt.

You are so funny I wonder who that Maine person is? LOL

Could it be...........hmmmmmmmmmmm

Okay, Robert, here is your center. I really struggled with what to do with this one, but think I like how it came out and hope you do, too.

lovely!!

WOW....perfect color choices....I LOVE IT.
Judy Abdona's is on its way to you.
Thank you,
R

DOTTY , I have th center you sent and already cutting. It is going to be perfect with what you have done. Can't wait for everyone to see it.

R

That's how we grow vegetables in NYC!

I got it today, Robert. It is gorgeous. What to do! What to do!

Who says everything is bigger in texas. I love my Big Green tomatoe.......You are the best.
R

Gorgeous!!

Judy that looks great. I'm going to have pile of centers to do you guys are going so fast.

Thanks, Deb. Don't worry, the backup is going to start here. Now that I got Robert's done, the other two are going to have to wait for a bit while I get some other work finished.

Here is only a sneak peak at LJ's block. The inspiration was the hydrenga's in the center. I was going to hand applique the hydrengas, but I found a machine embroidery design. I chose to use purple for the strip to tie in with the purple in the center and Abdona's AMAZING cut strip. I have never seen anything like it. Then I added the cranberry butterflys to tine in with the (arrowhead strip?)
It looks really great in person. Hope you like it.
No worries Judy. It will be a week or so to get it done. This one side took me 6 hours. YIKES
R

Could we all meet in the middle when these are done? Or Skype?

Robert, that border on LJ's quilt is drop dead gorgeous. Oh, goodness. I can't wait to see it in person.

Only 6 hours? Beautiful!

Heck no. We are all coming to NY......Start spreading the news.......LOL

Oh my goodness that's amazing. I can't wait to get my hands on some of these. I'm finishing up my exchanges so I can give it personal attention.

We got the room & the chef!

I got Roberts center today I finished up the garden exchange so know I can start the centers I have.

Wow, that was a lot to do. And now you are on the next adventure.
R

Ok Judy your original block had pinecones I was going to embroider some but I noticed this one doesn't are you going for a winter theme and do you want pine cones or would you rather flowers? I can do either I have pretty flowers too.

Either works for me, Deb. I don't have any preconceived ideas on what this should be so am anxiously waiting to see how it evolves.

Beautiful!

Pretty!!

I was hoping for a picture. I heard it's at the photographers house.LOL

Okay, Dotty, here's your second round. (looks like I didn't smooth it out very good - sorry). I am still not sure I like the cornerstones (in the picture they stand out a lot - doesn't seem as much so in person though). My thinking was to bring some of the dark green from the center outward. If you don't like it, I'll be glad to figure something else out.

I had originally planned on doing a very plain row, but when I was looking through my embroidery designs one night I ran across this design and thought it would work on this beautifully.

Let me know what you think about the cornerstones.

WHAT.............that is so gorgeous.......it is unbelieveable.
WOW
Grat great job.
R

Looks good to me! Thank you!!

Oh my goodness that is beautiful. I love the flowers.

Beautiful!!
