I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

Originally posted by "AnnieLu" post=133210When sending me your info please put Row Robin in subject line and use my yahoo email.
We are about to start a Row by Row Robin. We will be sending a single row out each month, not adding to an existing group of rows. This will save on postage and customs issues.
Very few rules and guidelines.
Rows are to be 6 1/2" by 36 1/2". These will finish at 6" by 36". A nice size that can have borders added if someone wants their finished quilt to be larger. These are to reflect the recipients requests AND the makers personality. We will each mail our blocks out by the end of the month they are for. If they go sooner, we'll get more eye candy throughout the month!!
If time issues arise, send a strip of fabric rather than drop out, please
After I have rec'd everyone's physical address, theme, color preferences, etc, I will send each participant their individual list of whom they are sewing for on each specific month.
And this goes without saying, but I think it should be stated:
If you get behind, just let us know.
And if life gets too complicated for you to continue, let me know as quickly as you can. I know no one joins this to stop midway thru, but I'm aware that 'life issues' can change our available time.
The next step is to decide on your theme, colors, techniques, type of blocks you like, or anything else you want to share.
Make a list of these. Send it to me, along with your physical address, to my private email, NOT the msg area on this site. I have to be able to cut and paste from it and my iPad doesn't interface here.
Send that info to
[email protected]
Thanks,
Luann
Rosemary- leaves, not all maple! PLEASE see her posts # 133355 and 133406, to be aware of what she might be up to!! I like the idea,,
Geneva- Flavor of You, batiks preferred, 6" or less by 36"
Lotti- The World Is Bright & Beautiful, enjoy yourself, have fun
Terrie- Home Is Where The Heart Is, COMMENT about blue taken out per Terrie's request.
Luann- my favorite color is 'Rainbow' at least that's what my best friend says,,, Show Me You! Vertical Or horizontal, if making the strip out of blocks, you can send them without joining them, I would be able to use them in the finished design process for corners, etc
Cathy- bright, cheerful, perhaps symbolic to your area of the world, she's easy to please
Andrée- At the Beach, any cheerful colors, please no obviously black backgrounds
Wendy- Flavour of You, would enjoy it to reflect something you've shared with the group, Chinese Whisperer inspired?
Jennifer- trees, or a part there of, or a critter in the tree, be inspired. Not a big fan of civil war or 1920s fabrics
Heather- beach/ocean colors, any style block or row
Brenda- sun, sand, saltwater
Kathy- flavor of you
Barb- flavor of you
And,,,,I will need further info from the following if you decide to join in.
Idaho ?
Lois?
Dawn?
That's where we stand at present
And now to do the laundry and pack my bags for vacation.
May The Holy Spirit keep all of you close to God's plan for your life,

I'm agree with Geneva. I'd like rows of various widths.
It's hard for me to say what 'colours, but I like spring colours, clear colours, warm colours, happy colours and serene, elegant and classic colours. I also like folkartsy stuff. I also love batiks. How do you put that into a word or two? Something that reflects the warms of a hearth and home?.
PS: "I'm agree" is a phrase frequently used by my students when learning English - They mean " I agree" I love it! (but I don't tell them that!)Geneva

You guys are awesome! It looks like most everyone just wants to swap with the others. That's a great attitude to have.
I will post one more info on the retreat thread, and then I may be silent for several days. Know that I'm anxious to get started, but not keen on going into winter months any too fast.
I've been busy, as you'll see on the retreat thread,
May The Holy Spirit keep every one of you close to God's plan for your life,

I've been reading all of the comments about the different widths (keeping the length at 36") and totally agree! I have also been on Pinterest and looked at all of the row quilts there. I like the variety of widths, and the fact that some quilts mix vertical and horizontal rows. I think they hold more interest. And, I was super glad to see Luann address the "life happens" issues. (Right, Marilyn?) My "life happens" scenarios would probably be when I am up against a deadline, like working on my Hoffman Challenge. Rather than send just a strip of fabric (thanks for that Lotti) I'd rather send something more personal, maybe a month or two late. Is that objectionable to anyone? And, I wouldn't mind getting someone's row a month or two late! After all, we probably won't be sewing these together for at least a year or more, after collected everyone's rows. If this is all cool with everyone, then count me in! Right now, I'm kind of thinking of a winter theme. I love snowmen, snowflakes, ice crystals, ice skates, pine trees, mountains, etc. Or, what winter means to you in your country. I'll send an email to Luann in a couple of days. I hope she is having a wonderful vacation! Like someone said, she does more in a week than I do in a year!

I love your theme, Dawn. I think I can begin right now.
I think by knowing what people's theme's are way ahead of time, we can get ideas, and IF time and LIFE permit, we can even begin their rows now. That way, (maybe) we can send out 4-3 or 4 rows January 2nd! :silly:
oh-oh, I hope Luann doesn't find us to have been naughty when she gets back. :unsure:

I sure can't think you're naughty. I'm already planning what I will be sewing for some of you, as soon as I get home!!

I'm having a blast with the family!
Please remember to send information to my yahoo email address. That's the place where I can get the info from in a reasonable manner. When I get back I'll update things, adding names and themes. I'm going to get a preliminary schedule together and will send it out shortly after. Things can always change but I think we'd all like to have an idea of what person we are sewing for each month.
Here's what I've been busy doing while away
I'll check in again in a few days

Dawn - I think that sounds just fine! I won't mind if my row comes a little later than expected since I won't even attempt to put things together until I get all of the rows!
Terrie - I'm with you...I think I'm going to get started as soon as inspiration strikes and I have free time - that way I might be ahead of the game for once!
