Very sorry ladies, I can join in this one. I have too many deadlines to meet just now but I will stay involved if that's OK, seeing all your progress. Btw, Happy New Year from England.
Sorry to read your sad news. Saw Rosie yesterday, first time in ages. She gave me wrinkly stuff from you. Thank you. I have found some old guidebooks to the Boston Stump, the misericords in the quire and a town map. Would you like them?
Personally I always add a hanging sleeve if it is a wall hanging. It's nice to receive something ready to hang rather than something you have to do sewing to to make it useable. I had a friend who would constantly buy me pot plants without a pot or potting compost or the something like a...
As Kat said, she, Rosie and I have been doing this kind of swap for several years. I've done it longest and now have five little quilts from all over the world including Tasmania. To give you an idea, go to anotherlittlequiltswap.com and you can see the quilts that have been swapped over the...
Hi Ladies, I've just received my mug rug from Chucklady. It's a beautiful chicken. It will not have any mugs put upon it. Instead it will receive a hanging sleeve and go up on the wall. Problem is, Rosie has yet to send me the address of the recipient of the mug rug I've made. Someone will be...
There are several films on YouTube about flattening a mat. You can iron them through a towel I think, but look for the videos. Try to store them flat and out of sunshine or radiators and they should not warp.
Phew, thank goodness it's not going to be that stupid price then! Looked at the blocks again, well several times actually. I confess. I've been stroking them too. They really are lovely. Some really nice fabrics. We are getting better and better at this. I think we all enjoyed this particular...
my blocks have arrived. No wonder they were quick. You paid a fortune for the postage! Did you send it a different way. It was covered with huge customs declarations. I do not understand why it was so expensive this time. What did you do differently, Kat?
Oh, ladies, love the blocks! I'm going...
Coldupnorth, you fabric choice is brilliant. Love the design. I have a feeling a few of us might be copying it. Would you mind? Could call it L's Sunflower.
OHHappyChicks. Sounds as if life is really living up to your BYC name! You sound positively joyous and I am sure that you have spread that joy to all of us with your wonderful, miraculous news. So good to hear from you. Best wishes to your d-i-l and the rest of your family too. I bet you had...
OldRustyHen,
Those quilt tops are lovely. I am really impressed with your idea of grading the creams corner to corner. Hope you don't mind if I try that too.
I am also impressed with the top and bottom borders of the other one. So colourful and another scrap buster!
Jenmack, the mug rug doesn't have to be a quilt block, it can be anything. Last time I received the most lovely appliquéd mushrooms. It's never had a mug near it! It hangs in pride in my hallway and is much admired. I've done hearts in the past. You can machine appliqué if you want. But if...
