Oh I see, that is great! Thanks for organising all this so well :D This thread and my quiltmom have already been very helpful!

Starlite, if you haven't been adopted yet, I would love to be your mommy! BTW my parents used to live in Charlotte when my dad worked for Graybell.

Wow!!! Hey you all, as of March 8th, 9:30 EST, we are up to 98 on our adoptions!!!!!

I am SO proud of you all!!!!
Whew! Who knew, huh?

Hugs to all of you,
Conni

I have a new kid,
whisper2btrflys
i may have triplets! yikees!

i did PM a couple others,but no word yet, if they were already taken up by a new mom. which is fine.

Thank You!!! :-D :-D :-D You made my life soooooo much easier!!! I won't DUH now!! :lol: :lol:

Just adopted no1jan!!

farnsworth, beautiful job! I love the trees!

Open invitation; farnsworth (my quilting daughter) and I will be doing the 2009 BOM Pioneer blocks, starting in a week or two. PM me if you are interested in sewing along with us. I will be the "MOM" for this project.

These blocks would look great in 1800 repro's or put a new twist on them and make them in batik.

I have adopted BoJo and am going to work on paper piecing with her. She is looking at patterns and then we will get started! So great to have children that don't potty in their pants, LOL ( mine actual ones are still little).

Sheila

...as we get older, you never know.lol
That's why I'm a Quilting Buddy, not a Mommy. hehe

Sounds like fun. Where can I find the patterns for these block? Is this something a newby can handle?

I'm a Mommy!
I just adopted jshep!

She is brand new and has lots of scraps! Fun Fun fun!

I finally found the right place to put myself up for adoption. I've been mostly self-taught, and would like a mom who could go over the basics with me and maybe I'll find better ways of doing things. I'd also like to do a pp quilt and would like a little help to get me started. I should be a pretty low-maintanence child.

I started a new thread for us to learn beginner quilting lessons on this board

http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-38979-1.htm

also if you have any cool links for beginners lets post them here so we can all enjoy

Awesome, CB!! I'm assuming we'll still "talk" on this thread?
YTQ

Yea! Fellow quilter/motorcyclist LindaM has adopted me! Thanks Linda!

Welcome Aardvarq our 100th member and our first Daddy.

Who are the foster mommies (or daddies) still out there? Some of us are still waiting for good homes. :)

I'm up for adoption, too.

QuiltingB

I would be more then happy to adopt you.
Lets make the connection.......
Scrap Quilter

Sounds like a plan to me. Have an appt. right at the moment but will get with you later. I am so glad someone will give me the opportunity to expand my lastest endevor. Later.

I have three adoptees that will be doing the BOM of 2009, the Pioneer Sampler. I will open a thread on the board shortly. We are looking to start in a couple of weeks so commitments can be completed and gotten out of the way.

I am in need of HELP!!!! I am doing my first queen size quilt. It has a very large medallion center surrounded by 20 star block!! Could someone please tell me how to do sashing?
I don't want to add cornerposts? i think that is what they are called. Should I post pictures?
Thank you in advance
Karen

Pictures would probably be good. :thumbup:

oops

I was thinking of doing like a picture frame around the medallion, I then how to do the other blocks with sashing?

Scrap quilter : I must apologize to you and Quilting B. I misread the posting. I thought you were referring to me when you said you wanted to connect. I was in a hurry for an appt. and didn't think before I typed. This whole set up has me confused anyway. I really need to set down and concentrate on the computer. Please accept my apology. S Sutherland

SSutherland, I would be happy to adopt you, I will try to help you anyway that you need me to,

Wow Karen. That's a really cool quilt. I see how sashing is going to be interesting with the pieces that lie outside of the square.

Well here is my very first post. I am a real beginner. A great friend from Arkansas, showed me how she made wedding gifts for family by learning how to quilt the log cabin block. She was very kind to show me how to do it. I bought the supplies, was camping in Florida and from magazines and what my dear friend taught me I began sewing the blocks by hand. Not great but I was proud that I could even understand the directions. I would love to be adopted by a quilter, as I want to learn all I can and pass on to my daughter and four granddaughters.
Thank you for a wonderful place to learn. :XD: :?:

Gorgeous blocks. I love the idea of doing various designs.

cute projects.

Now I see how gorgeous all of your efforts are; I'm a bit embarrassed to have put pics up. I see I am off point and not even on anything. Oh well, someone might like to adopt a sad case? :-( :shock: :-D

I'm a newbie, but here's an interesting story about a non-newbie. http://travelwitwist.blogspot.com/20...-stitches.html

I need all the help you can give me. I have learned a lot by read everyone's questions. And looking at all the tutorials that are posted. And here is a quilt top I just completed. There are a few errors in it but a far better than my frist one I did on my own.

I would love to adopt a "newbie". I am new to the board but have been quilting for 18 years. My favorite part is piecing. I do quilt my small project but send my big ones to a long arm quilter. Right now my favorite thing to work on is miniature quilts. Please let me know if I can help you.
