Chinese Whispers

[Rita C.]

Sleep tight Limbania! Well I am happy to do AAQI size quilts too so whatever suits everybody is okay by me.

[Nancy R.]

It all sounds like fun to me, too. If you want a vote, I would vote for Maureen's original idea, but allowing people to mail them whenever they want so they don't feel pressure if they don't have something ready when mailing their challenge quilt. Don't want anything holding up the challenge! But like I say, it all sounds good to me and I'll join in on anything.

I like Maureen's original idea too. Like Nancy I would like to be able to mail it anytime. Hopefully, I will have plently of time to get it done before my segment of the time frame for "Whispers". I would like to hear more about Rosemary's myriorama maybe some of the rest of us could swap those. I haven't worked on anything that small but I would like to try it.

[Renata L.]

I'm with Maureen, and Nancy said exactly what I would have!

[E.M. T.]

Me, too !

[E.M. T.]

Me three! :wink:

I don't know, but I would like to know what you are working on. Welcome back!

[Nancy R.]

Yoo Hoo I'm back and missed you all. How many quilts am I making now :roll: :lol:

I believe we signed you up for making a quilt for each of us, along with your challenge quilt. :twisted: :wink:

Glad you're back!!

:lol: :lol: well I've got over a year before it's my turn so you never know.

I'm not working on anything today Nancy I don't know if its day or night and after reading some of the threads I'm even more muddled. This week (with fingers crossed behind my back) I shall make my September FMQ challenge, finish my 'tree of life' quilt and get the borders on the Laura Nownes number, watch the next fusing class and catch up on threads.

What's everyone else doing to while away the hours until Maureen gets The photo?

I am in a group of six and we are having an Indigo exhibition next June in Glasgow’s West End Festival. I am busy stitching Shibori pieces and Indigo dying. We each have to make at least three large quilts plus a lot of wall hangings and sales items.

My daughter has had a large extension built to her house and has asked for a large wall hanging for her living room. :roll: :roll:

I am trying to get on with the Spool/Reels quilt, as I would like it for myself. My sister and I are going to a 4-day retreat next month so hopefully I can get on with it there. I can’t take the Chinese Whisper quilt with me to get on with as nobody is allowed to see it.

And, then there is the other matter of a photograph arriving soon for me to start. I think I need more hours in the day.

[Renata L.]

Maureen, I envy your indigo exhibition... :mrgreen: I am in the process of stitching some simple (traditional) sashiko blocks on indigo as practice for a more complex piece I am contemplating. The practice helps me get me back into the rhythm of a regular stitch. But, I don't have the number of projects you do with a deadline looming so I certainly don't envy you there, rather, I tip my hat off to you in deference for your stick-to-it-ness--I know you will get it all done! Funny you should mention the reels... I was just in my little stash closet looking at my reels and wondering when I'd get to them... Not to say I don't have a lot of started and unfinished projects staring at me right alongside the reels... :shock: :lol:

These are the 13th and the 14th/last quilt. What do you think :?: :?: :?:
