Gladie, another masterpiece,x2. Lucky you, Laparshall. I am another lucky one to have one of her works of art.
Can't wait to see what you do with the 9patches.

These last few quilts are great treasures to be sure!!! I'm sure they are worth the wait for them. I know I'd wait patiently for one of them. But then aren't all of the little quilts done by someone else 'just for you' great quilts!!! They are all special!!!

Thank you for the kind words. I'm so glad your partner loved her quilt! Anyone would be blessed to have you for a partner. Enjoy your vacation!!
Thank you for your concern. It all worked out. I PM'd her and she has had a very hectic August. I told her not to worry about posting, just was worried that she may not like it. She said she loved it, so now I'm a happy camper. :-) I'm so glad you and your daughter are enjoying the DQs. It was a lot of fun making them for you both. I will have to sit out August. I'm visiting my son and his family in PA for a few weeks and have no sewing accommodations. Besides, it is all I can do to work from here and still have time to enjoy my family. It will be worth the effort. Hope to be back in September. :-) I will be checking occasionally to see everyone's DQs. You are such a great partner. Whoever gets you will be thrilled. I'm still loving the DQ you sent me. It is so special! You did a beautiful job on it and some day, maybe I will try that pattern too. See, you are also an inspiration! :-) Big Hugs.

Sometimes life gets in the way...maybe that's why it's taking a little longer for her to contact you. Big hugs!

My partner last month did not post a picture but sent a PM. Hope everything is okay with my partner and that she likes the DQ. I always feel like my skills are not good enough or maybe I didn't do a good enough job until I hear if the recipient actually is pleased. I know life gets in the way and I will be patient. :-) Everyone's DQs are so special again this month.

Zjs love your quilt, the pattern is a true classic, and the colors you used are so esteticly pleasing. you could say they are soothing, and fun, with the fish.

It was Linda's suggestion to make a phone call and then open the packages. Mine arrived on Thursday--oh the temptation to wait a couple of days, but I resisted until we talked. Didn't know I had that much patience. This is a great idea (phone each other) and I encourage others to try it. Thanks Linda. She's a great swapper.

Ckcowl made me a red blue, and white star-topped wall hanging, perfect edge finishing made greater as she had star edges to work with. And I made her a RBW "Fourth of July" wallhanging that was a block in a quilt Jinny Beyer designed. I called it Murphy's Star, seemed I was either cutting wrong, short fabric or sewed things together incorrectly, but I won! Both her DH and kitty said it's a keeper so it will reside in Michigan. Will get the pictures listed soon.

Wow, ck that is a really neat quilt, is the star connected to the top? I can't tell. Both top and back are great.
