http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...53918257SRyXmx
Why is it so easy to add to the "waiting to be quilted" folder than it is to have a finished quilt? I think there's a chip missing in my processor.....the quilting chip!!! It's a misnomer to call myself a quilter..... I'm a piecer!!! My new year's resolution was to quilt more than I piece.....I've failed already. Oh well. KJ |

I have always been a piecer!
I don't even pretend to quilt anymore - thank heavens for the local long srm quilter!! She has free run in my stash/library/tools/threads and I get "free" quilting when I finally get a quilt pieced! Works for both of us. She was down on the weekend looking for fabric to make a backing - so I should probably send her another top soon lol -- Cheryl & the Cats in OZ o o o o o o ( Y ) ( Y ) ( Y ) Enness Boofhead Donut http://community.webshots.com/user/witchofthewest catsatararatATyahooDOTcomDOTau "KJ" wrote in message news:Besyh.1178606$084.710871@attbi_s22... : http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...53918257SRyXmx : : Why is it so easy to add to the "waiting to be quilted" folder than it is to : have a finished quilt?

Your quilts are lovely! I especially love the Whirlpool Quilts!!! Are they from a pattern? Did the
curved piecing make you crazy? Very beautiful... all of them!

Love those colors, KJ. And, hey, you still have 10+ months left in the year
to work on the quilting part! -- Louise in Iowa nieland4 at mchsi dot com http://community.webshots.com/user/louiseiniowa "KJ" wrote in message news:Besyh.1178606$084.710871@attbi_s22... http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...53918257SRyXmx Why is it so easy to add to the "waiting to be quilted" folder than it is to have a finished quilt?

Thanks Kate! Yes, that's a pattern from Virginia Walton and her Creative
Curves rulers. http://www.creativecurves.com/wwhirlpool.htm I didn't take a class from her. I bought a kit of the fabrics and pattern at a quilt shop. I then realized I needed a special ruler for cutting. This might have been one of the most difficult piecing projects I've ever done. I contacted Virginia for help and she was wonderful about sending me some hints and tips. The block could be simplified into a drunkard's path variation, but it wouldn't look quite the same. Similar, but it wouldn't quite hvae the pizazz of this one. KJ "Kate G." wrote in message . .. Your quilts are lovely! I especially love the Whirlpool Quilts!!! Are they from a pattern?

Aren't you the encouraging one???!!!! LOL Yes, I still have time. Plus
I'm on a list for a longarmer for a couple in May. That will help reduce the UFO's and the bank account! I've signed up for two longarm classes in Paducah. No, I don't have one....no, I'm not planning to get one! But the local quilt shop will be moving to a new location where she will have several long arm machines for use in the store. She's going to rent time on the machines to people who want to quilt their own tops. I'm hoping to be ready! KJ "Louise" wrote in message news:Vjtyh.1178696$084.345382@attbi_s22...

Oooooh, it looks velvety! Are those rectangles instead of squares?

You've really hit the nail on the head. Though I'm only an average machine
quilter, I'm usually not terribly unhappy when I'm done. It's deciding what to do that really stumps me. KJ "Sandy" wrote in message ...

Yes, they are rectangles. This was from a kit (fabric and pattern) I bought
at a quilt show. The vendor is the one from Davis, California that packages the "Sweet Treats" fat quarter collections. Someone help me remember the name of the shop. Kits are fun to do when not insprired to make something totally creative. KJ "Kay Ahr" wrote in message oups.com... Oooooh, it looks velvety! Are those rectangles instead of squares? Love the green!
