Lovely! I don't care a lot for green, but that really is a beauty. You do
beautiful work, Jennell! -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo If it ain't broke, you're not trying. --Red Green If it ain't broke, it ain't mine. --Carolyn McCarty If at first you don't succeed, switch to power tools. --Red Green If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer. --Carolyn McCarty "jennellh" wrote in message ...

Eureka, was "Sparks of Lime" photos

I really haven't worked with the stash against fabric requirements yet but I do have lots of backgrounds yardages to choose from - depending on what other colour groups I can put together. I find that I rarely end up with an original grouping of fabrics once I start cutting out - I'll suddenly remember another piece that might work better and then I'll rootle until I end up with more choices to make. Then there are those fabrics that I just don't want to cut into yet and the others that I really should use for something....thanks for the advice and I'll keep you up to date when I start. jennellh LOL! I'd never have been able to make that quilt from my stash, since I don't have many large pieces of fabric hanging around. G I have no idea why there are two photos of my quilt on Jackie's site, but I didn't really make two. I'll be anxious to see what you come up with! -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas sw.foster1 (at) gmail (dot) com (remove/change the obvious) http://www.sandymike.net |

Thank you Carolyn - I enjoyed working with the greens which is also a
colour that I wear a lot - so many variables......jennellh On Jul 27, 12:08*pm, "Carolyn McCarty" wrote: Lovely! *I don't care a lot for green, but that really is a beauty. *You do beautiful work, Jennell! -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo If it ain't broke, you're not trying. *--Red Green If it ain't broke, it ain't mine. *--Carolyn McCarty If at first you don't succeed, switch to power tools. *--Red Green If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer. *--Carolyn McCarty "jennellh" wrote in message ...

I can probably answer your 2 quilt question: the address is given as
Henderson for one and Las Vegas for the other. They probably thought you were a duo since the shadings of the photos are slightly different. Your quilt is worth looking at twice. Take your pick of solutions to the 2 pic display. jennellh On Jul 27, 12:10*pm, Sandy wrote: In article , *jennellh wrote: I went to the animas website and looked at the eureka photo pages from your retreat - the variations of all the colours on all the quilts worked! *I really haven't worked with the stash against fabric requirements yet but I do have lots of backgrounds yardages to choose from - depending on what other colour groups I can put together. *I find that I rarely end up with an original grouping of fabrics once I start cutting out - I'll suddenly remember another piece that might work better and then I'll rootle until I end up with more choices to make. *Then there are those fabrics that I just don't want to cut into yet and the others that I really should use for something....thanks for the advice and I'll keep you up to date when I start. *jennellh LOL!
