READERS ARE SPECIAL!

Marjorie J. of Utah sent me this picture.  She said that so far she has collected and finished three rows of the Row by Row Experience.  A special thank you to Marjorie for sending this picture.  I am thrilled, as I am sure others are, to see these designs from other parts of the country.

Misti sent me this photo of the the Rebecca Mae Designs Dear Daughter BOM that she is making. The design is by Sherri Noel.  Misti said that she is using her scrap stash with a few new fat quarters for more color.  I love this quilt and am amazed at how Misti has done the writing on the quilt blocks.  She said she just uses the freezer paper method of applique.  Great job, Misti.  And thanks for sharing with us.

PICTURES FROM EMAIL

I haven’t been able to get any quilting done this past week as I have had out of town guests.  But I do have some beautiful quilts to show you.  Above, is a picture that Sue L. sent me.  Sue wrote in her email:

• “A long time ago (but still 2015) I took the "One Block Wonder" class from Vickie S.   Well, I FINALLY finished the top.  It is ready to go to the quilter.  I thought I would send it to you and maybe the lady who taught the class will want to see it.  She might remember me - I cut her fingers two times with my rotary cutter!  UGH!”

Thanks Sue for sending.  Your quilt is beautiful.  And I’m sure Vickie will be glad to see it…and yes, I imagine Vickie will remember you.  LOL  She is such a fantastic teacher! And a good sport too!

Marjorie sent me a picture of additional blocks she is making.  She wrote:

• "Here are five more blocks. I have been thinking about sashing; maybe just solid black.  The other thought is to use the same white with black in every block and then stitch them together.  Maybe I just have too many colors!!!!!  I have so much bright wacky fabrics from previous quilts that I thought I might get rid of some in a useful way.  Thanks again and I will just keep stitching!!!"

 On my previous post, I had a picture of her first block.  I love Marjorie’s bright colors and hope she does keep on stitching as I'm anxious to see how her quilt turns out.  I think we are running a race.  She now has more blocks completed than I do.  I better get busy!
