Okay whose the designated stash raider here? I have to turn over the keys
to the sewing machine first. Maybe we should limit us to the handcrank.
Not sure after a few margarootles I could handle the treadle. I might unsew
all my fabric and the you'd be taking home strings. You'd have to listen to
me try several times to say perforated. with a lisp... Bring a quilt too.
If you are going to tuck me in, I ought to be tucked in under a quilt, no?
none on my bed right now. sniffle

Elena, being brave in Tx
Note to self: get a bigger design wall up.

OK, here's what we'll do. I'll mix the Margarootles, and you pull out all
the fabric. I'll dive in and start flinging stuff around, you have a

drink.
Then, you play with what I pulled out, see if anything sparks, and I'll

have
a drink. Then, we'll work together on the design wall, playing with the
ideas, and we'll both have a drink.

Then, we'll find somebody sober to take a picture of it, and to write down
our incoherent babblings about what we're doing. Next, we'll tuck you in
bed, pack up all your stash in my bag, and they can drive me home.

Hmm scare me? Nothing quilty.

Intimidate me for awhile.. surely.
Probably an art quilt where I was told to just.. do what I feel.
I'd probably go for a margarita. Blank slates challenge me. Toooo many
possibilitiesss... brain overload... smoke.. error error non-sequiter..

your
facts are uncorrelated...

Elena, winding down.

Is there a quilt you would love to make but it puts your stomach in

knots
to
think about making it? What would this terrifying quilt be and what

about
it
makes you tremble?
Mine is the Dahlia. Its the picking of the fabrics that has me

worried.
In
the book I have there are a couple of examples of color ways given. I

hate
all of them. But they do point out the importance of picking good

contrast
and coordinating patterns. This would be the best time to use a

scanner
to
take the diagram of the quilt to be able to preview fabrics in it. Its

on
my
to do list, right under long nap.
Ok..spill... lets see if there are lots of people intimidated by the

same
quilts.

Did you do all of the embroidery in neutral colors, too? I bet that it's
gorgeous - please do post a picture when you can.

Pat, I am so glad I asked to see a picture of your eagle quilt. It's a
lovely quilt. And you have many others that are wonderful. I'm in love
with the quilt depicting the quilt cabinet and kitties. If it ever
needs a home, I'll quickly send you my address. BG

I did wander quite a bit at your website. You're kitties are so very
precious. I wanted to hug them all. I'm definitely a kitty lover. I
am currently owned by 2 of them.

Thanks so much for sharing your website. I enjoyed it much.

| Hullo Sherri
| Thanks for asking.
| There is a picture of my eagle on our website.
| If you scroll down the Home Page to What's New With us 2003, towards
the
| end of the paragraph is a highlighted 'Yet More Quilts'. Click on
that
| and I think it is the third one down on that page. The main brown
| fabric for the eagle is printed with a feather-like pattern, and I've
| quilted it also with feathers. (The colours are not good at all - I
| don't know what happened; but it will give you the idea).
| Please let me know if you have any trouble. It usually works fine.
| (BTW DH does all the text on the page!!! - he's in charge!)
|
| www.quik.clara.co.uk is the site address.
|
| Do wander about a bit if you have time, we have some sweet little
pets,
| if you like animals!

Hmph! My Beg was so subtle and eloquent you barely noticed
it was a Beg. That's okay, I still got the quilt! G
Handquilted and ribbon-embroidered--it's quite lovely.

Well, they have gotten quilts, but they didn't really beg all that hard.

It
was actually pretty pitiful.

I'll put you on the reserve list, Joy. I would love to bring one

personally
some day.

Yes, I did. I'll try to get a picture later. It is one that has stayed in
the house. neutrals are hard to photograph. Especially with fancy fabrics as
they tend to reflect.

Thanks so much for this response. It means so much to me. I'm not the
most confident person in the world!!!
I fear the quilt cabinet miniature will not leave the house - it is the
one with which I won the piecing prize at Quilts UK last year!!! So, it
is very special. I love it anyway g (It is only about 14" x 17")!!

Thanks very much Karen. I'm glad you liked it. It was very nice to do
- hardly any hassles at all - except getting the point on the beak and
keeping it there while I anchored it down!! (The quilt is 1 metre
square).

That depends on your definition of a fight. ;-)
I'm handpiecing them after I've paper pieced the arcs - it gives me
something to do in waiting rooms, so that leaves me the leeway to squish and
stretch as needed.

Very intersting. And did you find that the arcs fit the curves without a
fight?
