Great MR Lotti. Looks perfect for Maureen :lol: Love the banner--did you make that?

Off subject here but just finished a mystery from Gyleen of ColourfulStitches.com and she's starting another one July 1. She was on TQS a while back and I found her techniques very interesting. Here's the email I received today from her about the new mystery:

"Hi,
The next mystery will begin July 1st. It’s called, “Two becomes One”. Note, it has a name. This is a big wall hanging or lap quilt, around 55” square. Email me by June 28th if you want in. MAKE SUBJECT “TWO BECOMES ONE” so I don’t lose your request.

Perhaps I’ll see you in Columbus, if so stop by my classroom and bring show and tell.

Here's mine just finished piecing--it's a bed runner, and not sure why the picture is sideways but think you all will figure it out.

Must sew Mug Rugs !! :P :P

[golfjane]

Yes, it all machine pieced and will be machine quilted when it's turn comes around. I don't really like mystery quilts (probably my need to be in charge) but really enjoyed her techniques.

[Reetzbobeetz]

I think it's lovely Jane and great that you were able to machine sew it.

Jane, that's really pretty, beautiful fabrics I see in those complicated looking stars.

Limbania, you've been on my mind! I hope life is reasonable, gotta admit I'm a bit worried and picking up the prayers for you.

Thanks for all the condolences, my friends

Hi I have tried the link to Colorful Stitches but the link does not work. Is anyone else having problems? I even copied the link into my browser and still didn't work???

[golfjane]

Try this one. I just did and it worked. Also, she spells it Colourful (with a u in there).

[golfjane]

Thanks. I'm Canadian and always use the 'u', but actually didn't even notice if it was there or not.

Love your mystery quilt Jane, what fun

It is the right way up but not sure I see things the same way as others :lol:

[golfjane]

It can go either way but the picture was taken showing it the long way (up and down, not sideways) on my design wall. Not sure why pictures posted here get turned sideways. This piece can either be a table runner or bed runner. It's awfully colorful and if I had known how big it was going to be or what the design was, I would have chosen more compatible colors for my bed. As it is now, not really sure what I'm going to do with it. Those are the main reason I do not like mystery quilts.

Here's the beautiful mug rug Sue sent me. I love it. Such lovely quilting and design. Thank you Sue! Note that I took a photo of it and pinned it to the wall before it had the chance to fly away like Rita's butterfly did. I looked under the bed, but didn't seem to be there. I know it will turn up eventually. :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Reetzbobeetz]

Susan that is a beautiful mug rug! And BJ, that was clever of you :wink: You will probably put it in a safe place and find mine there too. :lol:
