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

[Scoopie]

One tiny question, I don't see on page 1 (but I may have missed it)

Is the deadline the first or the last day of each month?

Today this is important, maybe next week, it won't be so important.

Your first row is for January 2016, and it would be best if it is mailed out by the end of January. Sooner would always be a welcomed surprise at the mailbox.

I am NOT going to keep track of who says they've mailed something out or when someone posts that they have received a row. Everyone needs to keep their own record of where they are and whom they've gotten rows from. I would jump overboard if I had to keep track of all that info.

I want to encourage each of you to take a photo of every row you make, and every row you receive! Sometimes a computer crashes and it would be nice to help a rower out if that would happen.

I think I'd better go look for a life preserver. I hope I can find one made with pouches for holding chocolate, just in case you guys mutiny on me! LOL

Love to you all,
I'm so excited for this to be under way!

Luann,
Thank you so much for all you have done for us to get us started on this adventure. It's going to be awesome!

I really enjoy organizing things.

In fact, today I was elected Second VicePresident, In Charge of Programs, for The Palmetto Fiber Art Guild. I've been a member since February of this year, but they felt a fresh set of eyes would be a good thing.

I also took apart my center batik star block for my Craftsy BOM quilt. I couldn't reuse the pieces as I found out the template printout was not accurate. I recut the pieces and sewed them following the directions in a very precise, one step at a time, and I now have a lovely FLAT star block for the center of my quilt.



I'm caught up with all that I felt I needed to get done, company coming next week, creative time will have to give way to cleaning, entertaining, etc. I hope to have a highly productive December, but it seems that my energy level has suffered from the time change. I need to eat more protein and leave the sweet treats alone. I know, good luck with that one!

Thanks Luann you're a star and congratulations on the new role :cheer:

[loise98]

Your star is lovely. I can't wait to enjoy all the eye candy.

[loise98]

I am soooo excited to start this :silly: I have never done an exchange before, and cannot wait until you all see what I designed for you :side: I hope you like it!!

Beautiful star Luann!

Thank you so much for organizing this row robin, can't wait to start - the design process in underway - and it's going to be so much fun to see what everyone is doing, like several pieces of art coming up together...

Yes, there are 18 participating in the exchange. And I think about a half dozen cheering us on. It wouldn't be the same without them!

[AndreeBergeron]

I totally agree.

[Lorna1021]

This looks exciting and lots of fun. Can't wait to see how this unfolds.

[Lorna1021]

Because I am a dunce.....we just print the list from the post on page 1, with the names/wants, and then check our email/print the page from where you sent us everyone's address, correct? And my January row is whoever is below me on the list from page 1, and so forth & so on until I get around to whoever is above me, correct?

Just want to be sure I'm doing this right I've not started planning yet as I can only work on so much at once, though I have figured out what to do for those who want "flavor of you" stuff, and tossing around ideas for everyone else....

Are we keeping discussion here, or over in the Group you set up? I can't quite figure that part out.....but I'm excited to start!

[twiglet]

I think you've got the right idea. And Luann are you going to post a technique each month for us to use?

[twiglet]

So, Wendy, you must have really liked homework in school. I'm having trouble enough thinking of a 'flavour of me' and now with the added instruction to do a specific technique sounds daunting to me. However, I will 'chin up' if that's the way it's going to go. We'll wait to hear from Captain Lulu.
