Melissa is here! And her sister Christy. Melissa is doing a book signing for her new book and she has brought several of her beautiful quilts along. It's a hot day with a little breeze so we should have a great quilt show.<br />

All done...well not entirely...I need to take out the basting stitches...but with any luck, I can do that tonight and drop this in the mail to Patty before we leave for vacation tomorrow morning.<br />
<br />
I hope you like it Christy...when you mentioned a 1930s feel...that always makes me think of hexagons...and it was super fun to use some of the vintage fabric I have tucked away into various boxes around my sewing room.<br />

Thanks for a fun Round Robin ladies!Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07095680014410577292noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3353379232085640210.post-74678548432264425162012-06-06T20:00:00.000-05:002012-06-06T20:00:11.384-05:00ChristyOK...so I think we are quite behind on your quilt Christy, but Im working on it!!<br />
Here is my idea...I wanted to make sure you don't hate it first!!<br />
<br />
my warning: I have never made hexagons before...(but Im enjoying it!!) <br />
<br />
I dug into my vintage scraps hoping I would find fabrics you like. Im never quite sure if it's from the 30s, 40s, 50s, etc....but Im sticking with reds, blues, and pinks....<br />

I finished! The binding on my table quilt got nailed down late last night, so here are picture proof, front and back. I really enjoyed the round robin process, so I'm going to encourage some of my local quilters to start a round robin quilt. wish me luck! And I really like that backing - all those little bitty half square triangles, all perfectly matched, with much thanks to designers Minick and Simpson !-D<br />

It's already on it's way to Jenny. I loved what Christy added to the center so I tried to keep it simple by adding 4" strips of varying widths to all the way around. This is such a cute quilt top. I hope you like where it's going, Patty!</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06632975777358708593noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3353379232085640210.post-3176816313848858952012-04-16T13:08:00.000-05:002012-04-16T13:08:01.319-05:00Hollie's Quilt- border #2<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihAGO_KEQc7IA7O24kEzeqG3fjmyMPkFvEmRTfmLSbKhWkvJhEPxqDmDupmGLOrFKHMLrsxUORsqbumuW-a7LBWj7iSE7o2E8SXASo-IvQcMQOZG8SjECo74M9WoqBnnLiW8-s4x_ZaWA/s1600/hollie1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihAGO_KEQc7IA7O24kEzeqG3fjmyMPkFvEmRTfmLSbKhWkvJhEPxqDmDupmGLOrFKHMLrsxUORsqbumuW-a7LBWj7iSE7o2E8SXASo-IvQcMQOZG8SjECo74M9WoqBnnLiW8-s4x_ZaWA/s320/hollie1.jpg" width="320px" /></a></div>Here it is! Hollie's Quilt with the second set of borders done! <br />
This was an interesting experiment for me - purple and orange are NOT my colors - and I'm not good at wonky - too controling I guess !-) I had absolutely none of these fabrics in my stash - but again - why own a quilt shop if you can't shop in your pajama's?<br />
I think since I'm done ahead of schedule - I'll hang it in the shop and show it off for a few days - unless Christy is anxious to get started on her border??<br />
Hope you all are having fun with this..........<br />

</div>I am not sure if we are supposed to post these yet, but here is my center block. I don't care what colors people use. I would like it to have a vintage feel. I love the 30's prints. Also is there a list of everyone's addresses? I am not sure I have it if there is. I am looking forward to starting.

Do you think we can still get a ship by date of the end of February so we can start working on each others projects by the beginning of March?<br />
<br />
Let's say we ship out a center medallion between 16" and 24". Feel free to send out an idea of where you would like to see the quilt go. Maybe a travel journal that can document who worked on your quilt and why they added what they did. Also, if you would like to have an autograph/siggie block to add to the block mention that too.<br />
<br />
Let's sew from our own stash.<br />
<br />
I'll propose a shipping order of:<br />
<br />
Christy<br />
Hollie<br />
Jenny<br />
Marie<br />
Melissa<br />
Patty<br />
<br />
simply ship to the person under you in the list. Patty ships to Christy.<br />
<br />
Does that shipping order need to be tweaked?<br />
Do we need to set a size minimum and maximum to the round you sew to a medallion? 4" to 8"???<br />
Let's discuss!!Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07095680014410577292noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3353379232085640210.post-21815125498810430472012-01-30T16:50:00.000-06:002012-01-30T16:50:26.453-06:00Time to Quilt!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Here it is girls, the quilt you helped me make for Breast Cancer Awareness!<br />
Now I just need to get it in the frame and get it quilted! Maybe in time for Quilt Your Dreams at the end of February?!?<br />

And now it's on to the Round Robin. I've never been involved in one before, so it's going to be my 'new adventure' in 2012!</div>Patty@inStitcheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18008067462064666901noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3353379232085640210.post-66772873145836464402011-11-08T06:45:00.000-06:002011-11-08T06:45:42.045-06:00Round RobinHi ladies.<br />
<br />
Melissa sent a note to 7 of us still considering another year of a Dozen Quilters...and like she mentioned, I proposed that we do a Round Robin.<br />
<br />
I must admit I have been giving this idea some thought for months now, but then I saw <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/oldredbarncoquiltalong2009/">Old Red Barn Co</a> on flickr floating the idea and I really wanted to join in...but the idea of joining in with complete strangers worried me. I want a group of people I know and trust to stay on track.<br />
<br />
This is how Dana describes round robin for any of you who are unsure:<br />
<br />
1) A round robin -- depending on the number wanting to participate we separate into groups and do a traditional round robin. Let's say 6 in a group. Each of those six makes the center block for their own quilt. Then that center is sent around to each of the other six and each of the six adds a round to that center block. So you start with the center (your own), it is sent to person number 2 and she adds a round . . . around the center block . . . then sends it on to person 3 and so on. So if there were 6 people in the round robin group then it would run for 6 months and each month each person would be adding a round on someone's quilt. <br />
<br />
<br />
So, I thought maybe we can brainstorm some guidelines for our own round robin.<br />
<br />
How big should we start with a center medallion?<br />
how wide should each round be?<br />
what time frame should we give ourselves to do each round?<br />
should we send fabric along with our medallion, or have each of us use from stash?<br />
Am I forgetting anything important?<br />
<br />
I propose we start after the holidays.Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07095680014410577292noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3353379232085640210.post-89308102808780886682011-10-26T19:39:00.000-05:002011-10-26T19:39:03.947-05:00One to go....<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgswC4esU85v4z5QX3DsB6XwTZ_qtwbnpMFQXogj7CCpoSMWLiCibfv1rY3mzXRQeUWhcuRCpcOmvbn9VgNaubMOJpHZTnReNZGZL232WsUPhmA-7JB5LRsvlAT7uub821YcRXft9hZveA/s1600/one2go.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" ida="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgswC4esU85v4z5QX3DsB6XwTZ_qtwbnpMFQXogj7CCpoSMWLiCibfv1rY3mzXRQeUWhcuRCpcOmvbn9VgNaubMOJpHZTnReNZGZL232WsUPhmA-7JB5LRsvlAT7uub821YcRXft9hZveA/s320/one2go.jpg" width="240px" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">OKAY!
