Ladywingnut, your quilts are beautiful. Definitely eye candy!
Rosemary, your new baby is very nice. Looks like you are having a lot of fun with her. I love the stitches. Your book of stitches will be great. I always had intentions of doing that, but just never got it done. Congratulations to you!

I miss all you guys!

Ladywingnut your quilts are wonderful! Congratulations on your win! Well deserved.

I have been working hard getting my 29 quilts ready for our guild show at the end of March. I am the Member Featured Artist so I have been making up the cards that hang with the quilts with descriptions, writing my artist statement, writing the info for the show booklet and of course finishing up my 2 new quilts "Color and Passion 1 & 2". They are done but have not been photographed yet. They turned out 69" x 78". They are fraternal twin sisters as one is 1/4" smaller width wise. I'm really happy with the way they turned out. I can't wait to see them hanging together!

Rosemary, I'm glad you are having a good time with your new machine. A new toy is always such fun.

Our snowmeggedon has finally ended and the snow has melted. We broke the 1956 record and made a new record. Ugh. Glad that's over! Today it is raining.

I've also been arranging to move my mother to assisted living. :blink: Such a lot of work and planning and changing. Plus it's hard for her. She moves tomorrow and Thursday. Wish me luck in having it all run smoothly. These past few weeks have felt like I have been balancing a table service for 12 on a broomstick in the air! :S

I can't wait for something to settle down. 2017 has been a struggle in several ways. But we are fine and all is good. I just need some down time!

Hugs to you all!!! geneva

Wonderful quilts Ladywingnut and congratulations on the win. :cheer:

Geneva good luck with your mum, sure to be a stressful time. I'm sure afterwards things will be better for both of you but it takes time for such a big life event. I hope it all goes smoothly.
And good luck with the exhibition, looking forward to seeing it on here once you've got it all hung, so exciting and an honour for you.

Nice machine Rosemary. Have fun

Together with a friend I'm starting a quilting group locally, any tips anyone :woohoo:

Ladywingnut, your quilts are beautiful! So much work you have put into them!

Geneva, congratulations! That's where I'm at too! Getting my quilts ready for my Featured Quilter display at our show. But, since I work a lot small than you do, and already have a few good quilts, I am not working as hard as you are. Thanks for the reminder though, that I need to write out those pesky "story" cards for each one. I'm glad our show isn't for a few months yet! Also, unlike you, we are STILL getting snow! Two more inches last night! I'll be praying for you and your mother! Having been there twice, I know exactly what you are going through!

Rosemary, what a cutie! And what dedication, to make a quilt stitch bible. I always tell myself I will do that, but never have.

That's weird, for some reason I am being denied access to the Row Robin thread, I apparently don't have permissions to do so :unsure: Every where else I have gone to has been fine though. :blink:

Strange as it sounds, I have been denied access also! And I was the one that started the thread,, Probably a glitch in the system,,

[twiglet]

And me, something dodgy going on.?
We can start another thread if necessary. At least we have copies of the timdtable.

[genevacarroll]

It appears that I must have broken the Row Robin forum page! hmy: My post was the last one! And it was a doozy! If only I could remember what I wrote!?

I'm sure it's a computer glitch and *someone* will get it unstuck for us....

Me too! Did we post too much in there??

I was away for Spring Break, and came back to find a truly stunning row waiting in the mailbox from Marilyn/Idaho and was coming to let her know. No photos yet (still pretty wiped out!) but will try tomorrow.

Marilyn, if you see this over here, it's absolutely gorgeous, and I love it! Perfectly beachy When my husband saw me open it, he looked at the back while I was busy ooh'ing and aah'ing over it, and even from the back he said, "Wow, that's a nice one..." True testament to your piecing ability! Thank you!

[idaho]

Yes, Heather...weird stuff going on..I'm blocked a couple of different ones !! I will write where I can guys !
Glad you got the row...I'll see if I can post it. Maybe the new system is still buggy....and lots of traffic on the
site maybe ,with all the special wknd promotion! :blink: :evil: :S

[lorra]

I am blocked for the Row Robin thread too.
Wendy, I wanted to let you know I received your row. I love it and the Kaffe fabrics! Thank you so much!

[lorra]

I just reported the "access denied" problem on the Row Robin topic to the webmaster.

Kathy

[lorra]

I've remained blocked on Row Robin and today sent notes to Tribblemom and Capt John in hopes of finding
out if topic will return or if lost forever....then we can start again...we are still a ways from done with the Robin and
I think we should still keep in touch. Disappointed that no one has let us know anything.....or am I the only one? :unsure: inch:
