LITTLE QUILT SWAP 1

Hello Quilting Bloggers,

Would anyone be interested in participating in a Small Quilt Swap???  Size approx 22 x22 inches?  You could make a traditional, contemporary, anything you like, Small Quilt???  I would be the host and I thought since it is September 17th, we could have three months to make it - so December 17th they would be due to swap?? 

What do you think and would anyone be interested???  I will organize it but first wanted to see if anyone would be interested - it would be called SQS1 (small quilt swap 1)???  what do you think...

Hugs,

Mary

WHERE OH WHERE HAS THIS SUMMER GONE...

Hi everyone,

Where has this summer gone...seriously, I want it back!!!  September already and today it feels like fall in Chicago!    Hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend!

Was just wondering does any of you quilters know of any quilt swaps that I could join....???

Just wondering....

About three - maybe four years ago I had a really terrible experience in one - seriously - they sent my quilt back to me - wasn't what the lady wanted and they didn't like my machine quilting...so I received it back - quite humiliating, so was just wondering if any of you have had good luck with any swaps?  I still have it that quilt sitting on my kitchen table and I just love it - but, whatever...any info would be appreciated.

Thanks and Hugs,


Mary

AUGUST FLOWERS....

"ANGIE'S QUILT"

For some reason I can't get these pictures to move correctly...

Hi Fellow Bloggers and Hope Everyone is having a GREAT Summer!!!

Well, the day finally has come...."Angie's Quilt" is finished and given to Angie the day before she left for SLU in Missouri!!! She is in her third year of studying to be a Nurse.... So here is ANGIE with her Quilt...

I hand pieced and hand quilted this as it was just a nightmare to try on my machine. I think in all it has taken me two (2) yes, two years to complete for Angie but as you can tell by her smiling face, she loved it!!!! My son, Mike is behind her holding up the Quilt!

Here are some more up close pics of "Angie's Quilt" and look at those corners - mitered, YES!! I always have problems with corners on the bindings of Quilts but this time it worked, so proud, so proud....couldn't decide which block I liked the most so just picked a couple for you to see oh and the backing - really liked the purple!!!

Well, hope all is well with everyone, enjoy these last few days of August!

Hugs,

Mary
