I think LN will be finished hers before I finish mine. I'm trying to stay
focused and not get into too many other projects, so hopefully I'll be able to post a picture in the not too distant future. Lorraine "The Nielands" wrote in message news:G688b.419255$o%2.189050@sccrnsc02... Oh, I can't wait to see it! I did Meadow Lily for my DSIL a while back, but her's was in blues and greens on a WOW background. Your colors sound great! Louise in Iowa "The Brown Family" wrote in message .rogers.com... Well...I'm in the process of making one. It's from a Thimbleberries book and the pattern is called "Meadow Lily". The colors in it are a light grey marble background, plum (medium and dark), a couple of greens and another grey with various shades. Because I have a green carpet in my bedroom and plum walls and grey furniture (which I would love to change, but that's not happening right now), so I have to try and bring it all together. As for LN.......hmmmmm........the jury is still out on that one! Lorraine "frood" wrote in message . com... Do you have a quilt on your bed? Did you make it? What does it look like? Why did you decide on that? Will LN really finish her own quilt? -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply |

Oh, I forgot, I'm using my new computer in between crashes, and I forgot
that I haven't yet set up my new siggy lines, so you wont' know what my home page addy is - just incase you want to see "Too pink he thinks". So, it's www.ourcyberfamily.us Alice in NJ who is now getting her siggy set up. "AliceW" wrote in message ... Mine is my "Too pink he thinks" quilt. Pix are on my website. It's my spring/summer quilt so far. I love it! It was made in a class at the Quilter's Barn. I had been wait listed for this class but the night before the class, they called and said someone had backed out. Was I still interested? Ok, so they gave me the pre-class instructions and the fabric requirements, but I had no time to shop (drat) for the fabric. So I thought to myself - gee, I think I have some fabric stashed away here somewhere! So, the entire quilt was made from fabrics I pulled from my shelves - including the backing. It's a king sized quilt made from a pattern in a magazine and is called "Prairie Stroll". I think I quoted the magazine on my website, so look there if you just have to know.

Will I be unmercifully kicked off the newsgroup if I admit that I have a
quilt on my bed that I bought from the evil Pottery Barn? Hey, it's pretty and it goes with the room! It's just a bunch of 3-inch blocks sewn together and simply quilted, but the fabrics are really pretty. Ann frood wrote: Do you have a quilt on your bed? Did you make it? What does it look like?

I love that song too. Since you dont want suggestions Ill keep them to
myself.. which is easy cause I dont have any at the moment.. but I sure would love to see what you come up with! Diana -- http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "frood" wrote in message news I suppose I should answer, or at least let you know why I'm asking. I do not have a quilt on my bed that I made. We are currently using a vintage quilt that I bought as a summer spread, but when the weather turns colder, we'll go back to the big comforter we've always used. All the other people in the house have at least 1 (most have 2) quilts on their beds, but I haven't made one for DH and I yet. When I finish my Millennium quilt (I do have until the next millenium, right?), that will go on our bed, but not for everyday. I'd like that to become an heirloom, so I don't want to use it much. Eventually, I'd love a quilt for each season, and one for Christmas. But I have to start somewhere! My favorite season is Fall, and my favorite song is Moondance, by Van Morrison. I'd really love to incorporate the feeling I get when I hear that song into a quilt. I'll know the idea when it comes to me, but I just want to get an idea of what other quilters have on their beds, to help kick start the design process. I'm not looking for suggestions from you all (it's a very personal song to DH and I), I'm just trying to see what others do. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply |

She could send it to me. I'll finish it for her and send it back to her -
sometime. Alice - who has fabrics picked out for a green and ecru log cabin but it's far down on the list at this point in time. "AliceW" wrote in message ...

A quilt rack in the family room. What a wonderful idea. Such a great way to
show off a bit and have a hug close by. I love the idea. I have no clue what will have to go or where it will go to do it - but I'm already looking. Polly Marilyn wrote in message ... This is such an interesting thread Wendy. Great question. Ummmm, I hate to admit that NO, I dont have one of my own quilts on our bed, I have an humungous (sp?) old comforter which is really heavy and was purchased at an auction for about $10.00 several years before I began quilting. Like so many others, I have made and given away countless quilts even one to a prospective son-in-law who last year became a for real sil.....my husband says I bribed him with his own quilt, lol. I have several lap quilts I keep on a rack in the family room ready for whoever is cold watching TV or reading, or, the newest one is always ready to become a gift if I know of someone in need of a quick quilt. Thanks for the interesting question. Oh yes, I vote YES on LN, I feel sure she will finish her quilt. Marilyn in Moravia |

My brother-in-law is a wood-worker as a hobby. He's made us several things
already. Over last Christmas, I got to see a quilt rack he made for his mother. I told him once I had made (and kept) some more quilts, I was going to need one of those. I'll even trade him a quilt for it! -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Polly Esther" wrote in message nk.net... A quilt rack in the family room.

I don't think so. At least, if you do get kicked off, I'll be next. Mine's a
JCPenney bed-in-a-bag comforter! -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Ann Adamson" wrote in message ...
