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

[Jdeluka]

So excited to be rowing with you all. Thank you for letting me join in the fun.

Sent you an e-mail AnnieLu.

Thank you Lotti, Terrie and Geneva. So good to "see" you here.

Lots of great inspiration. Beautiful pics you are posting.

Jewel tones (bright, rich, bold, saturated colors). Feel free to use batiks, solids, tone on tone, low volume, big prints, scrappy, etc.. Your choice of pattern/design (modern, traditional, contemporary, pieced, appliqué), let your creative self choose . I'm ok with width variations and either horizontal or vertical row or a strip of fabric if you "get on a bind". Also I'm ok if there's a delay getting the rows.


Green flash. This photo hangs in my sewing area. Was taken by Wyland (He's a marine life painter). He took the picture of this phenomenon that occurs in the Pacific Ocean at sunset.

Don't know the photographer or location where this was taken but, love it!

This can give you some ideas.

Great to see you Limbania your hair is looking superb!

Jen I shall of course knock up all those trees as my first row :whistle:

I've decided to be a pain in Luann's side and changed my theme to birds which should be easier than flavour of you. So could be anything related to sea birds, garden birds, feathers, fabric , trees nests sea, bird named blocks etc., hope it helps I sent you an email Luann and a bag of maltesers :cheer:

[twiglet]

Attention everyone, please read entire post.

Wendy, I have changed your theme. We should have figured you'd want some sort of 'bird' thing,,,, silly us!

Limbania and Rosemarie have all info in and everyone will get updated

Limbania and Rosemarie, your info may be coming in several emails, hopefully by end of today, Wednesday.
So, please make a list of all participants and be sure you have an address for each. If not, let me know at my yahoo address and I'll get any missed ones to you.

We only have ONE spot available at this time, so if you've been,,, LURKING,,,, I need to know by Monday so everyone can get started with their plans.

Have a wonderful day
Luann

Wow! I'm loving all of the inspirational pictures that every is posting. If you go to Pinterest and search winter, snowmen, snowflakes, etc. you can get a feel for what I like. Even a hot cup of cocoa with steam curling from the top works. Or a shot of red from a cardinal in a snowy tree.

Scoopie - you're making me cold, just looking at those pictures !!

We had better get on and make so really good hot chocolate to warm up with ie. mug of full fat milk (not skimmed or semi-skimmed!) in a small pan, with plain dark chocolate squares broken in and then warmed up together until the chocolate melts, bring to the boil, and serve with a slug of cream.
If anyone comes up with a good variation of the above recipe, do tell...

Ladies, I am loving your inspirational pictures. They are wonderful. I know you are trying to tempt me but it won't work. I haven't done any sewing in a long. long time and I am afraid I would be letting you down so, while tempted, I won't join you. I will just lurk--and if the urge to sew finally comes back I may be tempted to make a block for each of you.

Ritzy, I am lurking too. I have UFO's, purchases already made for projects, and such a long list of want to's. if I don't say no to something those things just won't happen. I am loving the lurking too. It's been a bit tough getting back into a routine since Nana's death. Now that she is gone it's the last of the older generation for both my husband and myself so you know what that means. We are the older generation. Never did expect to still be taking care of parents into our 70's but it allows/supports denial that your that your time is limited. I am not being morbid or expecting a rapid decline. Can't believe how good I feel and how much energy I have but still… Life does not go on forever. Carry on. I will enjoy your work.

Ok. At the risk of calling Lois and ritzy something akin to eyore, which isn't meant to be disrespectful, I am glad that we have two cheerleading lurkers. I suspect that we will need Lois and ritzy to keep us motivated during the next 18 months.

Thanks ladies!

Best Eeyores ever :cheer:

Help,

Can we make a photo album for this group which would be divided into sections? I'll explain,,,

I think it would be great fun to see what each person has made for others, and as each person starts work on their own final piece (quilt, bog jacket, table runner, etc) how that progresses.

I realize we all will probably say thank you on this thread, but sometimes seeing what others have already done might be just the creative boost we need for our own undertaking.

Just a thought. I work mostly from my iPad, so some features of this site aren't readily available to me.

Any thoughts from those in the boat or on shore are welcome!

Good idea. If you start a group we can add albums in the photo bit

I made a group

Row Robin 2016 >

If you join the group you will have access to doing anything on it. I checked all the boxes to enable everything to everybody!

Happy rowing!!

I would also have loved to join you guys, but I just can't commit to the time. But I'm hoping, instead, I can be one of the Eeyores. I love Eeyore and would consider it an honor!!

Wendy, I expect nothing less now! :silly:
