    I prefer ROW. Exactly as you have described.

    Comment


      Row.


      BTW Luann, are you going to open a new New Topic for this?

      Comment


        New topic just opened.

        I felt it was getting way more complicated than it needed to be, so I simplified it and made the decision for doing rows that would reflect both recipients theme and makers personality.

        I hope you are all ok with me doing it this way.

        I know many of you have already sent me your email, but I need the rest of the info I ask for on that first post.

        LURKERS beware--- if you would like to be listed as an alternate if someone needs to drop out, let me know

        LATE BLOOMERS -- if you want to join later, let me know, as there may be others that ask and this could be an ongoing project.

        Thanks for all the input,
        Luann

          Rosemary are you there? I would love details of your technique (quilting/sandpaper) - you did say to ask therefore I am. Love the quilt in the picture.

            Luanne - Wot Rott was Winding on the Reels of Tangled Threads. I fell in love with Edyta Sitar's Reel quilt and thought that the best way to get lots of different coloured cotton reels was to do a swap for them. Originally I was going to do it on my own, but Lorna kindly volunteered to assist as she had a military address on her posting her in Britain we were able to save a lot on postage for the American contingent. There was also joiners from Canada, Australia, Tasmania, Netherlands, Switzerland and Ireland. And was a huge amount of fun, especially on the weekend that Lorna & Roger came up so that we could collate all the blocks together.

            This is my top as a flimsy, it is partly quilted now and awaiting a lace doily to go into the space along with a couple of coffee mugs like the ones in this picture.

            These were made from left overs as a AAQI panel for Ami Simms. Lois fell in love with it, but unfortunately wasn't quick enough to buy it, so I printed a copy onto fabric and made it into a mug rug for her - which is how the mug rug swap started.

              Rosemary,
              Thanks for the info. Your quilt looks so interesting. And I can see how the mug rug started the swap!

              I hope our 'row robin' will be as much fun.

                Pam, unfortunately I have lost track of the photos I took to demonstrate my technique, and will be away from home this week and thus unable to replicate them until next weekend at the earliest.

                But here goes word wise. I was doing the Weardale Chain design the overlapping pointed ovals and cut out a template in sandpaper. I scored a line down the centre of the sashing/border space and then scored lines across this at right angles to mark where the points of the oval should lay. Placing the template in the first position, with a walking foot, I stitched from the centre point down the RH side of the oval to the cross over point. I then moved the template and continued stitching around it, but this time on the left hand side. Repeat until the end of the line. Return to the top and do the other half. Return to the top and do the second part of the chain (the overlapping one). Finally return to the top and put in the last line of stitching. Because it is sand paper, it really does not shift at all whilst holding it down and stitching around it (although it is possible to sew it down too - oops!)

                  count me in on row by row. I will check out the new thread. Thanks everyone for joining in. I have my HSt exchange quilt, my Whispers Across the Pond quilt, lots of very beautiful Mug Rugs and now I must also do this. I think it will both push me in new directions and also help me find my own path. Thanks everyone.

                      I definitely need the email to come to my yahoo address. And if you put

                      Row Robin in the subject line I'll be able to catch them quickly. Please check out what I need in that email by going to the Row Robin thread

                      Thanks

                        I must say, I'm getting very excited about this rowed robin idea :cheer: I'm going to have to do some hard thinking this week to see if I can promise myself (and everyone else) that I can accomplish a row every month for a year (or more ;-) ). Perhaps I can convince my dear husband to take on some extra child watching duties on the weekends

                        And yes, my first name is Jennifer but my friends call me Jen. ;-). I was posting as I do on Facebook, and didn't even think to sign my posts. Poor manners. I will try to remember now!

                        Comment


                          Jen and others in a similar 'time' situation,

                          If you only want to be in for an every other month robin let me know over on the new thread. That way if more people would prefer an every other month, that's a minor adjustment to the process.

                          I haven't tallied all interested names, but I think we are under 12 at this point so our options are pretty open for participation.

                          Please do go to the new thread, make a short comment, and check the box so you'll get follow up messages.

                          See you here and there,
                          Luann

                                Loved your description of making pj's Rosemary. I bet you could make telling someone how to put a continuous lap placket, on a sleeve, before applying the cuff, sound easy. That is a crazy sentence, but maybe you can figure it out. One of my DDs called me at work and asked to explain it over the phone to her. I told her to call my sister. I could have shown her when I got home, but I can't explain that over the phone.
