Hello everyone!
I've been a tad out of touch. Life has just gotten busy with school and
all. I do pop in once in a while to read about all the wonderful projects you've been working on and to catch up on news. The summer flew by, however I did manage to contribute to a couple of hug projects, although not as much as I would have liked. I did finish a couple of the projects that I listed on the "get it done challenge 2005". I will be owing lots of fat quarters, but hey, it's for a fun cause. This quilt is called "Sheltering Tree" it is my first finished hand appliqué project. I'm now hooked on HA and the use of silk thread. http://ca.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cer...91.jpg&.src=ph http://ca.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cer...&.dnm=e37c.jpg This quilt is called Swirls. It is twin sized for DD (8yrs old). The colours (which she picked herself) are not as accurate on the photo as I would have liked. http://ca.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cer...52.jpg&.src=ph Thank you for looking at my works and for your comments. As always, this is a great bunch of people and I will make an effort to post more often. -- Carole Champlain, NY http://photos.yahoo.com/ceridwen_rhea Fine style does not make something true, nor has a man a wise soul because he has a handsome face and well-chosen eloquence.

Silk thread is so great! I'm using a beige color thread on everything, and I love the way it seems to blend with anything.

Silk thread is nice! I now have 4 spools, 3 neutral (light medium and dark)
and one of which is black. I don't plan on buying more as they seem to work with the colours I use. Carole "Julia in MN" wrote in message ...

Thank you Emilia. I enjoy HA. It's a great TV project (not that I watch TV
but DD does ask me to watch a DVD with her every now and again). Jump Emilia? I'm sure you'll love it. Carole "Mini One" wrote in message ... I love your work! Very nice. I've been thinking about a HA panel for my mom for some time, but haven't jumped yet. Your enthusiasm reminds to i should really jump. Thanks for sharing. Emilia |

Thank you Sandy. I am proud of Sheltering tree g. DD (8yrs) does love
her quilt (as well as all others I make. She always tries to get first dibs on them ;oD). She is a quilt lover and has started to sew blocks together on her GGM's sewing machine (I had it cleaned for her. It was my first machine). Carole "Sandy Foster" wrote in message ...

Nice to see you Carole.
The quilts are lovely. I don't do much appliqué, but, when I do, I like it and I love silk thread also. .. In message , C & S writes I've been a tad out of touch.
