Geneva - I received a beautiful row this week! Thank you so much - I love the bright colors! I'll post a picture when my sewing room gets put back together - started the process of moving it to the basement now that my very handy father has replaced the lighting in our spare room. My old sewing room (with it's gorgeous natural lighting inch: ) will be converted to big brother's room and the baby will get his old room so everyone's sleeping on the same floor...will be sad to loose my room, but now I have something forcing me to re-organize. I wouldn't want the kids sleeping anywhere else either - the things we do for our children. I've promised myself that once I pay off my student loans (many years from now) I'll buy a long arm machine for the basement to complete my "studio". I'll try to get some pictures of the rooms before and after as well.

Because of the sewing room upset and the looming delivery day (only 5 more weeks! :woohoo: ) I may fall behind on rows again - but I promise I will catch up when I can!

Look what I found in the mailbox this past weekend:



I absolutely love it! It is my first vertical row. Our ever busy, waiting for baby, Jen made it. She also included her first try, which was a paper pieced cardinal that she wasn't super happy with. It is cute! I will include it somehow in my row quilt! Thank you so much Jen! Take it easy these next few weeks!

Barb/Wendy...cute row! I love the chicken egg roof! Definitely "shades of Wendy!"
Kath....what a cute panel! I have a Whimsical Birds board on Pinterest, so your quilt spoke to me!

I just wanted to let you know I am going to be farther behind than I thought. I fell Friday evening and dislocated my right shoulder. My left one is just sprained I think. I have an immobilizer on the right. I am right handed too. Can't do much of anything. I see the orthopedic doctor on Wednesday. I have so much I wanted to do!! I guess I am meant to slow down some. I hope we can still go to visit our son in Michigan. We were leaving on the 29th.

Look after yourself, Cathy. Better to take it easy and get everything back to good working order, too many people have long term issues because they didn't give themselves the time and care to heal properly.
Sending lots of good vibes your way!

Yikes Cathy- take care of yourself!

Barb :-(

Very, very creative! I love Jen's cardinal in a pine tree. Nice work.

[loise98]

Awesome row Jen and Dawn!

Barb :-)

Ow Cathy, hope you heal quick it sounds awful. Wasn't this what happened to you Lois?

Love the vertical row, well done

[genevacarroll]

Oh Cathy! Take it easy! I'm sure your doctor will let you know if you should travel, but in my humble opinion being with loved ones, while resting, is good medicine.

Jen, dawn's row is wonderful! Btw, I have a picture of the row I sent you so if it will help knock something off your to do list I can post a picture for you.

Take care everyone. Geneva

Love the cardinal in a pine tree!! Wow!

How does everyone feel about pictorial rows in general and also vertical rows? Are we hoping for variety instead of always 6, 6" blocks??

Cathy, I hope you rest up and let your shoulder recover! Yikes!! Please take good care of yourself.

And, a question - I'm finding myself stumped on "flavor of you" rows. I don't feel I have a signature style or anything.......what do you guys think of when you think of me??? I might email each of you (when I get to your row) and find out things about you, because the only thing I think of as my "signature" is that I love to fill my quilts with colors, styles, block names, something, that has meaning to the recipient. Which is hardly "flavor of me" unless you all want me to do a row that "talks about" me, or of Texas, or...??

Suggestions??

Hello Heather
yup - that cardinal is fab.
to me - this exchange is all about having fun - doing something one enjoys and sharing this fun. therefore I'm up for anything - hopefully bright, colorful and fun. i think if there's a theme given - we try to adhere to that - but each in our own way. where the theme is open or "flavor of you" i interpret this as "you do what you think is fun and interesting at the time you are doing the specific row". sometimes we like to try out new things, sometimes we get caught up in a technique or style which may loose the "fun aspect" after a certain number of repeats so we pass on to something else. that's what makes it fun for me. one day i enjoy doing something according to a pattern and with a fixed idea of what it should end up - another day (most days for me) I start with a fixed idea and then veer off to something completely different - i incorporate ideas as i go and then wonder why the end result is completely different to the sketch i had made (of fixed in my mind) when i started out.
warning: my rows are all a little bit larger than specified - this so you can chop away a bit here or there to make it fit your needs.

wishing everyone a fabulous day
