trying to stir up some interest here. What are you working on? I'm on a knitting spree at the moment - new grandchild due in the late spring :-) Quilting is also taking a winter break as the room where I sew is somewhat cooler than the lounge/family room where I can knit while DH does things on the computer or we watch the TV.

you do know that we are having unseasonably warm weather? You must have
really lucky stars because this is the warmest, dryest January I remember ever. Did you folks over there feel the earthquake this morning? Small but woke us up with a start. Problem is you lie there and wait for the second when you feel the first : ( Yikes. Taria "susan price" wrote in message ... Sitting in lovely Ojai, CA multitasking laundry and stitching an embrroidery by Kathy Schmitz, "Be Mine". The center 8 x 10" embroidery is surrounded with piecing to create a 13 x 15" mini. There is one design for each month. Hopefully I will finish several months while here this winter. For a sewing project I've brought my Dear Jane quilt. Again I hope to make serious headway on the small blocks. The first week we have been here was mostly taken with settling-in and visiting relatives about 45 miles away. Now that we are starting our second week I think there will be more sewing time. The locals would like some rain but we are enjoying the near perfect weather. I try not to gloat too much when talking with family back in Illinois suffering through snow and sub zero weather. Susan |

I havve been in a quilting slump. I have also lost some photos of quilts I
have made in the past. I did finish a flimsy lap quilt that I gave to my Father for his 80th in March 2012. It was a bit late but he wouldnt know that. It was a charm pack by Sandy Gervais that I cut into tumblers.Coulours were out of mu comfort zone and it was a pattern I wanted to do. I started a baby quilt for a freind of DS and his partner. They found that they were having a girl so I did something in pink, yellow and green instead. Once again colours are out of my comfort zone but pattern was a simlpe Chinese Coins. Baby is due next month so I really had to get stuck into that. There were a couple of delays in November and again in December where we had to make rushed and unexpected trips away to visit DH's sister who had been diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately she didnt last the 12 months she was given, more like 1 month. I have another baby quilt to do, this time for a bably due in April. As we are having a heat wave at the moment I am not even going near the sewing room until it is over. Dee in Oz "Taria" wrote in message ... trying to stir up some interest here. What are you working on? I am just finishing a modern style quilt top that was requested as a wedding quilt. It is not my style and has been some work getting through it. Now on to the quilting part. The quilting they want seems to be square loop meandering from what I can find online. Anyone ever do that one? Any suggestions? Some day I am going to get the window curtains/shades done for the not so new house we are in. Taria |

Carol Doak's Scrap Scramble BOM Mystery.
The January "block" is actually 9 blocks -- 1 large and 8 small all using the same design. I've gotten really bored working on them. Might be able to finish this weekend. Years ago I didn't want to be a quilter because I thought it would be boring. Here I am ten years later, and I'm just first finding a boring part. So I guess I can't really complain. (Also working on cleaning off my car and shoveling snow. Seems to be happening every 7-14 days since early December.) Kay Ahr Indianapolis, Indiana USA (used to be Reno/Sparks, Nevada USA) |

I got a little bored finishing those Scrap Scramble January blocks from
Carol Doak, too, because they took a long time. But now that I have them done, I really love how they look. I wonder if Carol will be able to give us the February block in February since she has surgery and recover in the future. She needs to take as much time as she needs, though, and I have lots of other things to work on. ^.....^ (=' * '=) Carole D -(,,)---(,,)- Personal Website (Quilts and More) Shutterfly Website (Travel and Stitchery Photos) |

I'm behind on Carol's Scrap Scramble so if she has to put things off for a
couple months, it won't be a problem for me. Mary "CaroleD-Retired and Loving It" wrote in message ...
