Trust me, you would NOT want a product I had to rush on while I was hot.

:lol: I can so understand that. It has been so hot here, I haven't been going out much, Just take your time , and keep us updated. Hope you get the air fixed soon. I am looking forward to Fall this year.

we have a "maintainance free" heat pump, which is fantastic. We have an older home that didn't even have a furnace, let alone central air. We have made a lot of improvements, and one of which was the heat pump. I forget how great it is to have temperature control at the touch of a button, then the collection tray for condensation cracked. It's all under warranty, but have to wait for it to come, then have it installed.

SaraSewing 08-23-2010 07:16 PM

Janstar! I've struggled. And thought. And worried. Nothing was coming together for your final round. Then tonight, it struck me. Whoo-hoo. I'm in the cutting mode now. Nope, I haven't forgotten, I just wanted to wait until your top talked to me. Now I"ll get 'er done.

Janstar 08-23-2010 09:27 PM

Thank you soooooooo much Chrys, and everyone who has done such beautiful work on my top. I can't wait to get her home.

The time has flown by this past year.

sandpat 09-02-2010 07:04 PM

Ok..I'm trying to figure out where every quilt is...Based on what I can figure out...chewboo, Sara and janstar do NOT have their quilts home...is that correct??

Janstar 09-02-2010 07:34 PM

Not yet but it's coming. Sara is working on it.

chewboo 09-03-2010 12:32 PM

Wow!!! Love it chew! Great job! I need to snitch the pic for the finished thread.

Now...yup, you slow pokes...its time...so my gentle nudges are turning into a swift poke in the ribs now:D:

Janstar's top is finished and ready to go home on Monday morning. There were so many colors and variety that I had a long time deciding what to edge it all with. So I chose the peach tone center, and also the squares on-edge to tie it all up.
Sorry this isn't a good photo. My camera is not at home with me so I had to use my cell phone. I don't have an area large enough to spread it out either. So, Jan, if you can, please take a final photo that shows the whole project.

Final round, Janstar's center

And what a great choice you made! Even though we can't see the whole thing right now...It looks sooo pretty! I've loved that one all the way through. Great job ladies!

Janstar 09-12-2010 07:01 PM

Can't wait to see it in person Sara and I will take a photo of it for you. What I see is really pretty and thank you everyone who worked on it.

Chrys 09-12-2010 07:15 PM

Ninnie 09-13-2010 06:34 AM

I got my finished quilt home today! Yippers, it's finished and I couldn't be happier. I love what all of you did to it. It's exactly what I would have chosen. Even my husband said "wow - it's bright but very nice". I wanted bright! Thank you for all the attention you spent on each round. It has been a fun year, and I get to keep it now!!!

sandpat 11-04-2010 05:11 AM

Yippee!! That only leaves 1 still out and it is already in the mail...so the group is almost done! I'm so glad you are happy Sara :D:
