QADD? You've diagnosed me! Cool, there is a name to my affliction. At least it's not life threatening and doesn't need any treatment. And we have the support group right here for therapy.

Thank You as I'm a beginner and these are written out so easy and the pics helped. I'm anxious to try these.
Thanks again :)

here is the quilt I am working on one of my very first and i am using this technique shelley you explain better than the quilt instructor did.

Awesome quilt grammo :thumbup: , luv those rose hues and your joins are so neat and straight too, that's going to be a real stunner. Are you using the sew and flip method to add the tiangles to your Snowball blocks? Thanks for the heads up, I'm pleased the directions are coming across clear.

sure did use your flip method. It makes it so much easier. some of my points not so hot but not enough for "quilt police" lol

Thank you for all your hard work

Wow, Your doing a great job.

Wow this is so great and easy to understand. I'm making a copy of your lessons for my dgd who wants to learn to sew and quilt. I made a speical notebook for her. can't wait to see whats next. I'm even learning and getting better

That's so cool Connie, gotta get the next generation hooked :wink: I hope I got the shorthand right and that dgd = darling grand daughter. I still don't "get" some of the shorthand :lol: . After the half square triangles I'm planning to cover English paper piecing, which is a great one for the young'uns as you require so little in the way of equipment to start something, it is how I first learned to piece, so the method has alot of nostalgic memories for me :P

English paper piecing-now that's one I'd sit next to a youngun' for!

Hi Shelly,
I just read about the beginner blocks #2....Where can I find the beginner blocks #1??? I am new to this and don't know my way around just yet...
Can I assume the 4 patches you made last month are comprised of 4 - 2 1/2" squares? :roll:
Thanx!

Very nice!

A bow tie made in this manner is a lot easier than the one with the set in seams.

ShellyQ...I too wish to thank you for the excellent tutorials. I've learned so many neat tips and things from your instructions and you've again inspired me to do the star and the bow tie. I made a bow tie about a year ago but put them in rows rather than making the rounded shape. Now I have to make the rounded shape AND, low and behold, I have fabric that is so similar, if not exactly, like your tutorial photos for the bow tie so I already know what my quilt is going to look like...SMASHING!
Thank you.

I just saw your picture of the red & white Metropolitan convertible and LOVE it. When I was young (lots of years ago), this was my first car that I ever owned (1960). I wish I still had it. It really served me well for quite a few years and I didn't sell it willingly. My husband convince me that it was ready for a new home. I wanted to fix it up and keep it forever.
Do you have one? Do you just love it? How long have you had it?
God bless you for putting up with my questions. I really miss my little car.

This was intended for Barbm. Sorry to bother you with it Shelly--but thank you for the excellent info about quilting and the blocks.
God bless.

Ann-

I've had my '57 since '95. I love it! It's in the process of restoration, but when it's done it will be mardi gras red and frost white. I can't wait to drive it again! I want to make a quilt to throw in the basck for the chilly nights at the cruises.

Barb

Shelly, you do a great job with the lessons.

You're welcome Feather's and thankyou so much for the encouragement, don't forget to post a pic when your done so we can all see :P

No worries Ann :D , that's a cool car isn't it.

Slyghfox: I think I caught up with you in another thread, so I hope you're all sorted now.

Thankyou to everyone else for your positive thoughts, I'm really pleased you're finding these some what useful

Thanks so much Shelly....Have a great time with your son! :D Slyghfox.

This looks easy to follow. I am so very visual. Thanks so very much. I will need to get back to the 1st block.
