Well, this is what happened to them.
I know you saw Yvonne's BEAUTIFUL blue, white, and red quilt she sent off to our Naomi earlier this month: http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/2994.page This is Auntie Marcella's contribution to the same charity auction. I mailed it on the Monday before Thanksgiving, and my darling niece received it that Wednesday (whew!) It does give a person pause to launch a quilt off into the postal system. And now I reckon all we can do is wait and see who adopts them. And try to catch up on all the COOL blocks we missed while we assembled these guys. It is mostly machine-quilted on my trusty old Singer, but I did try a bit of hand-quilting. I knew I was sending the quilt away and wouldn't have to live with my mistakes! [ATTACH=CONFIG]25965[/ATTACH] There are 8 of our BOMs in the top and bottom rows. I had made the little red schoolhouse for another project, but it seemed to belong here. Then events ensued...

Very Very Pretty.

wow! i love it! very beautiful!
|
oh Marcella, it's so cute. I hope the person who gets it has some idea of what goes into a quilt.
|
How pretty! You really put a lot of effort into this beauty! Nice work!
|
Wow! That should bring in some big bucks for the auction! Good for you....great job!!! I think your quilting looks wonderful!
|
I love the colors and best of all it is an original. Just think maybe someone somewhere will try to copy your design. A really nice use for the BOM's :D

Hey y'all, I thank you kindly. You make me so fluffy and proud I could burst!
This quilt made me happy when I was working on it (when it wasn't makin' me crazy) and sad (and relieved) when it was time to send it off, and now it's making me happy all over again thanks to you guys. All this positive energy has got to be good for the environment. Here, I'll show you my first attempt at free-hand quilting; no plan, just quilting away into the night. It was so fun, really. I only stopped because I hadn't yet got a very good callus on my forefinger. Thank you again for welcoming me back so warmly after yet another extended absence. Love from Marcella Of course I had to make some crows-foot/turkey tracks! [ATTACH=CONFIG]2689[/ATTACH] |

Wow!! That sure gives one lots to look at. So pretty....

I've been waiting to see this one, that is so cool Marcella :thumbup: and such alot of work, that's very generous of you to donate it. I think I'd struggle to give this one away :P

I don't know how I missed this when you first posted it, but I'm sure glad I happened upon it now. I had watched the progress of your little red and green squares and I'm sooo happy to see the finished project. It's absolutely adorable :) Thanks sooo much for sharing it with us!! Can't wait to see what you come up with this year!
|
Wow. You did such a beautiful job with this. I noticed your blocks while looking through the BOM pics and they really stood out to me. What you've done with them is so beautiful.
|
Marcella,
It's lovely! BEAUTIFUL! You do such wonderful work, and I really, really, REALLY love this quilt! |
Also, I wanted to comment on the gorgeous quilted "smoke" coming out of the chimney and the heart! I love it!
|
I had never seen this post before until now. I love your quilt! And your free hand quilting is beautiful! Great Job!
haha. I love your avatar! That is cute! |
Thank you, Dear Friends!
I was surprised to see this quilt "surface" here again. I've been wrestling with my New Year's Day quilt... going-on week three. Your kind encouragement is much appreciated. I'll return to the endeavor with renewed spirit now! |
Marcella:
I see NO MISTAKES...and you know what, I wasn't looking for a mistake and I'm sure that whoever was the lucky recipient of this gorgeous quilt isn't going to looking for goofs, either. I love the way you incorporated all our BOM's in your quilt. How creative and nice. Great job. Feathers |
very nice quilt
