I have only sent one quilt out to be done by someone else. I generally just make the tops and then if someone wants it I will quilt it then. I like to work with fabric and color. That gets me through the winters when things are so dull. Usually I do a lot of sewing when I am on vacation too, so I feel that I am getting something done that is fun. I have quilted quite a few over the years, but that is not my favorite part.
Everyone here does such beautiful work. Love the handquilting I have been seeing.
I had two short quilting classes already today. I do a few of the $5.00 quilts that local shops offer. It's fun to see the same people every month and then in the next round too. |

Autumn, Hope you get to go girl. How fun that will be and take pictures!!!!!!
Have been staring at the quilts going, hmmmmm
then today Firemama and I got to go on a short fabric run and found an apron quilt!!!!! It is 15 different aprons for each square. It is so way cool and yes it is on hold for us. I nearly did a happy dance in the aisle. The best of both worlds. Heaven!!!!!! Like I need another project, and the answer would be of coarse I do. LOL

CarolSue-when you get a picture post it- I have to start searching for my next quilt pattern. My daughter will probably marry the country boy she's seeing right now- next year or so- and I need to get her a quilt going before I have to do a wedding!!
This is the one I did for my oldest daughter a couple of years ago. She married a Texan- so of course it had to have a star!

I was in over my head with this star- but it turned out ok. Most of the things like points being just right dont show alot. I used all batik and I LOVED working on it!
Looking forward to seeing some new ideas and patterns here.
Blessings!

Hi gals, I have a question/idea. Since we are the quilters I am wanting to have a fun quilt fabric swap....not blocks but just cut squares.....or fat quarter swap....I think I saw something on another topic...but don't know what it is called. I was thinking how nice it would be to have more small pieces of different fabrics...only 100% cotton. We could do something like 4 inch squares any color or pattern ...what do you think? No sewing just collecting and swapping. ? sound fun?

Hey Linda
Is a swap just that simple? I've never done one before quote:

From what I see a swap can be anything that belongs in the topic and some are in Barter forum too. I have swapped with one person..one on one, and also barter with someone. Barter is agreeing to a trade...different things. Swap is trading same sort of thing. I am swapping dolls with someone now....how fun! hand made wonderful one I got already. Then I am in mini apron swap, and others. Join in where you want they are lots of fun!

You lead the way.

I am going to get help with this from someone experienced. Got to let others know so several can participate. Do you have any ideas? I would say just keep it to a small number of ladies and a quick deadline to join. Then we can do it again if there is a desire. We'll work it out!

Ya know when we were talking I was saying "charm" blocks but it just hit me that I meant to say "postage stamp block"....is there a difference?...I just know with the "postage stamp block" that you area dealing with a tiny little square...I have a girlfriend and that is all she ever made and they were museum quality! I guess I could enjoy making a small like pinkeeper with all the tiny blocks ...I love handsewing, alwasys have!
Linda let me know if you start this swap.

I was just at the quilt shop and was asking about postcard quilts. They are the size of a post card and you actually send them out like a letter. Has anyone made one?

Looks like Mary has- maybe she can give us a pointer or two?
I've done mini's but they are still large compared to postcard size.
