My Reels arrived while I was on vacation and I immediately opened the envelope on my return. All the Reels are wonderful and I loved reading the names and address from all over the world. It gave me a warm fuzzy feeling! Which border do you think will be the most popular, the skinny reels or the applicated flowers? I love them both. -
Joanie, how wonderful to 'see' you at last! I've got a small pile of your spare reels sitting on my bench that I am planning on turning into a herringbone paving pattern for a AAQI quilt.Originally posted by jvkorte
Did you have a 'foodie' name for them or not? as I am trying to get all the reels labeled for the exchange book.Comment

I haven't received my reels but they are on their way! I received a notification June 2 the electronic shipping information received. I haven't seen transfers until yesterday, June 9. The reels are now processed through in NY. Soooo very close!
I've enjoyed seeing the beautiful pictures of reels, Rita's wall hangings and label. It's wonderful seeing all that have posted!

Well I went to one of my LQS on Friday since they were having 25% off everything in the store. Picked up a nice creamy white fabric for the background. And the ladies at the shop loved the reels. However yesterday all projects went on hold - but for a good reason. My 9 year old told me she wants to make her first quilt. So of course I dropped everything and we picked out an easy pattern to do and then I spent last night cutting out the squares. Today we will have a little sewing lesson. Hopefully my 12 year old will decide she also wants to make a quilt. My youngest wants to do one also but I just don't think 6 is old enough to use the sewing machine. Maybe just some squares and needle and thread for her.

Teresa,
What a wonderful adventure to be working with your daughters, passing down the love & art of quilting!

How wonderful! It must feel like a 'lightbulb' moment for you. :idea: I congratulate you on being able to stop in the moment and 'sieze the day'! I remember learning to sew from my mom, and will ever be thankful for that. Being the oldest girl, I got the opportunity, but my younger sisters didn't really get into it, I guess mom just got too busy.
I only have sons, and taught a few to cross stitch when they were too young to think it might be sissy for boys to do it. However, I have a granddaughter now, so I'll plan to impress her with quilting and hopefully she willl want to learn, oh, and.... the other granddaughter is already 3 days overdue! Yes, you know I will tell all when she arrives.Comment

Hi Maree! I got one of you reels! Thanks. I have the same question...now what? Of course, we have to sew and quilt our WOT ROTT reels, and then post them, then thre's the recipe book etc. However, I know most of us probably love having more than one thing going on at one time! Isn't this why we're here?

I won't be ready to do another exchange for a while yet, I'm finally getting some quilts in progress a little further along. I do love doing the exchanges. It's a joy to have blocks made by my friends here.
