BJolly--- yea!! I sewed yours last night, too. Need to add one more round, then sandwich and quilt. So very tired and sore from packing the house up, I got home last night and I literally collapsed in my easy chair. Got on the sewing machine for about 20 minutes and went to bed!! I will be sooooooooo glad when this move it over!! It has only been 30 years, where DID all this STUFF come from??????

Krystyna, I love that rose quilt! Seriously, who will ever know if it isn't exactly how the pattern called for, I love the colors and the fabric. I think you are one amazing quilter!
I am done with my DQ but just need to put a label on it. I am just trying to figure out which way to go with the label.
Tonight~ cutting out tiny little squares of fabric... I caught the post stamp bug! I have decided to make a quilt big enough to cover the State of Rhode Island with postage Stamps 1.5 inches of awesomeness~
Well I always thought one should reach for the highest goal and then when I fail, it won't matter as much because I will have an amazing quilt that will cover my bed!

Next weekend I am displaying my dolls quilts in a local quilt show and so that people can see where they have come from I have done up this map of the USA and put stars on the states from which I have received dolls quilts and met some amazing new quilting friends. Thought you might like to see the map - maybe I should aim for one from each State

I mailed it! I mailed it!!! YIPPEE! (wheeeeee!). Of course now that its in the mail to my partner she won't even see it for a couple weeks as she is lounging around at her lake house in Rhode Island. I was so excited about the meer fact it was done I HAD to mail it. Goofy me.
I need some of those shorts for hand quilting. Who would like to come over and thread them all for me? I somehow think that nice tapestry needle I can see to use would leave big lake sized holes in a project. Hey, lakes, nature.. Amish love nature, I bet I could have hand quilted it after all. It would be an airy dq, nice and cool with all those perferations You guys amaze me at what you put out for the rest of us to enjoy. Way to go Krystyna.

Off Topic -- Is anyone planning a trip to Joann soon? I am desperately hunting for some embroidered silk organza I found in the red tag section a while ago. I know that different stores have different stuff from time to time so if you can help out ... HEEEELLLLPPPP!
