Thank you! I really appreciate the prayers for Roselyn. Her mom is super excited about me doing this quilt, so that makes it even more fun for me to work on it.
My nephew came home from the hospital today so I didn't manage to get his quilt done before he came home, but I will have it...
Thanks!! And, no, we're not going to find out what we're having - we want it to be a surprise! We'll see if we hold out the whole time, but that's how I feel right now. :-) We had our ultrasound on Monday and from that they're saying January 31st or February 1st, so no major change in the...
A couple of things... I want to share a quilt I recently completed... and some news, as well.
After all of you teasing me for so long, I thought I should share with you - Mike and I are expecting a baby!! We estimate that I should be due on February 3rd, but we go for an ultrasound Monday...
I love the chickadee, Eastbaychicks!
Tabsmonsters, that quilt is adorable!
I'm working on the quilt for my nephew now... I don't remember if I posted a picture of the top or not. My sister is having some dificulties with the pregnancy and even though he isn't due until July 17th, he may be...

Thank you bunches!! I have a couple sets of the I-spy fabrics from the swap we did. I've been thinking of what to do with my last set. Now I know!!
Thanks goldenluver for posting that link...
NanaKat, that quilt is going to be amazing! I love it! It is a such a special gift.
17roses, that is cute! I love your son's reaction, though! So funny!
Kate, wow, they really sent you a lot! That is wonderful!
Friends of ours have been helping us work on my truck and they live about 5...

Beautiful quilt. Doing the math and keeping a copy means you have a one of a kind pattern. Although it takes time, I can get lost in doing the math...like a pieced border or enlarging a 10 inch block to a 12 inch. Once it is done, I can re use it ove and over.
I need more...
CoyoteMagic - that quilt looks great! I'm sure that your vets are going to love those!
My little sister is expecting another little boy in July. This is the quilt top I made for him. It won't get quilted for a little while, as I have a couple other projects to complete first.
A couple...
Wow, I haven't been around much, but was looking through this thread today and WOW you guys have been busy! Beautiful quilts!!!
I am FINALLY close to finishing my sister and brother-in-law's wedding quilt. I started it last June and if I get enough time to work on it this weekend I may be...
A great thought! lol... I've done that many times before on my smaller quilts. I didn't even think about it! I will definitely give that a shot. Thank you!
Nanakat and Scrambled, your quilts are beautiful!
Ok, so I need to vent a bit... I've been working on this quilt for my sister and I have now laid it all out and started pinning it to the batting and the backing twice and have had to take all the pins out again. After the first time I...

The one that was machine sewed and was the one I was most disppointed in went to my best friend (since we were like 4) for her baby girl last year. I apologized for it and she told me that she saw nothing wrong with it. Like you said, she doesn't sew or quilt, so it wouldn't be as...
I forgot to say that I tried doing it with a machine once, too... but that was before I knew how to do binding, so I didn't even sew it to the front first like you are supposed to. My first quilt I hand stitched the binding on the front and back. On the second one I started hand stitching, got...
Thanks. I actually do enjoy it, but I wasn't sure if that was the most common or best way to do it! Thanks so much for your input! I think I'll continue doing it the way I've always done it.
I have a question. How do you all do your quilt bindings? I do it the way I learned through an online tutorial... mitered corners and all. Then I stitch it to the back of the quilt by hand. This takes forever and I sometimes worry how well it will hold up. I noticed that on the quilts that...
