Row Robin starts Jan. 2016 All info on first post.

My understanding of "a particular technique" is what the "flavor of you" is. If applique is something that you always do, then that might be a flavor of you. Or if you are remembered by your paper piecing, then that is a flavor of you. I could be wrong, but I'm sure Luann will set me straight. And, I think a flavor of you is the given term that means "Do what YOU like and what YOU feel comfortable doing for me." Anyway, that's how I've interpreted it.

Now that I've tried to sound so knowledgable :silly:, I have a question of my own. Our rows do not always have to be a scene, correct? I mean, it can be 6 star blocks, or an applique of feathers (thinking GO! Heather Feather, here) ?!

Tons of fun!!

As I understand the rules - as long as the piece measures 36.5" long by 6.5" wide (although the width can be varied for some) it should be good to go in the post. As far as I can tell, the technique is up to the maker, who (hopefully) will follow the design brief - if there is one. Otherwise, do what you fancy for the receipent. However if life gets in the way for any particular month, Lottie suggested that rather than fret about it, a specially chosen strip of fabric would be equally acceptable. Just let everyone in the team know if you need to rest on you oars at any time.

Does that sound about right, Capt'n Lulu?

I just returned from a trip down a dark, sinister road! We went to Home Depot, I got lost in the paint dept., finally found all of what I otherwise needed, purchased NO paint, but made a terrific connection. She gave me a Master Palette of paint chips for the Glidden brand of paint.


They are all attached at the one end and it has a numeric index and a alphabetical index. So if anyone has a specif word they want me to see if there is a current color associated with it in the Glidden line of paints, just ask away.

Now for the serious business,

I think Rosemary, PosyP, has it summed up pretty well. I read each of the posts since Heather's and each of you just continued to clarify. I'm so proud of my rowing team! You are the greatest. If that ocean wasn't so big, we could meet half way for a cup of tea. But, alas, I sink like a concrete block if I don't have water wings on so its best we just virtually row on out to those islands and trade our stuff.

And now for some honesty. I haven't a clue as to where the best place to post pictures, and comments, is. I need one of you to give us some direction with that part. I get lost easily on this site and try to stay where I know what I'm doing. Well, that's questionable too! LOL

I like that title,

Gotta chuckle at my hubby has t-shirt



Off to row around the sewing room,

Hello Captain LuLu
Hello All Rowers

Just a quick note to you - in response to some of the emails I received, and the posts here, I'm going to make a few adjustments/ additions to my spreadsheet and resend.
I thought I would open a folder in my Dropbox and make same available to all of you where we can keep a 'master' file with all details, where any of us can make adjustments which will then be available for all
But need to have a little think as I believe I can integrate the full 'schedule' for all of us - but want to keep it simple and clear ...
You should therefore get another email from me end the week (I hope) ...
Also, Marilyn can't open my excel file,did anyone else have problems? the solution might be as simple as saving it as an .xls file instead of the .xlsx
I'll look into it and figure something out

In the meantime - have a great week

B_ouyancy A_id with pockets full of chocolate - Check :side:

Paddles - Check :silly:

Think I could be ready for this voyage.... :woohoo: :sick: :woohoo:



Now just where did I put the rowlocks :whistle: _{pronounced with a silent 'w' and rhymes with a 'naughty' word, but they are necessary for pivoting the oars whilst rowing}

[lotti]

Terrie - since you have kept us supplied with chocolate, perhaps that is your 'flavour' :P

[lotti]

:blush: :blush: :blush:
Sorry I haven't kept up to date with the chocolates.

Maybe chocolate is my 'flavour', but I don't think brown - dark or light is my main preferred colour. I like the stuff that grows out of the brown earth, though!

Bought an apple strudel on Saturday for company on Sunday. Boasted about how good it is from this particular shop,. Sliced it open on Sunday and it was Blueberry!!!! Not my favourite flavour, especially since I was expecting apple. Brought it back to the shop today, got a full refund , about 10 apologies and got the keep the blueberry strudel. My DH is happy.

[lotti]

As promised, here the individual schedules...

[lotti]

[lotti]

It is all in the EXCEL file (and the .pdf) on my Dropbox for those of you who have access.
If you would like me to email it to you again - just let me know - but I don't want to fill your mailbox with my messages if not needed :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

[lotti]

Thanks a million, Lotti! We love you!

[lotti]

Lotti,
Thanks for making up the lists.
I'm going to make a note of these post numbers so if in the future someone loses track, the number of the post will be available on the first post.

[twiglet]

Cheers Lotti we can still get it wrong :lol:

[twiglet]

Wendy,
As long as you don't mutiny or jump overboard it'll all be fine!

[twiglet]

Aw Luann I'd never mutiny I'm going to try not to get behind
