All Things Rhapsody

[Eileen K.]

Ricky,
Will you be teaching this next year on the east coast? I know you're coming east to do one of your Super Seminars, any other stops scheduled?

[Eileen K.]

Hey Doreen,
I am using just about the same colors in my Rhapsody and I actually have stripes in mine. Sorry you took yours out 'cause I was thinking: "at least I'm not the only one", guess I am the only one :cry: ritzy

How about posting your rhapsody? The reason my stripes didn't work, I think is that they were just too bold and overpowered the qppliques, which I definitely didn't want them to do. Perhaps you will be more successful at making your stripes work. :?

Hi Dorene,
You quilt look great already. How did you do your appliqué. By machine ore by the hand?


The sun was here today!

Hello everyone,
I have been reading what all of you have been writing in the forum and enjoying it very much. I decided I should write a note too. I am not as far along as most of you are but I have drawn up some designs. I posted them on my profile. I think I'm going to go with the first design. I've used colored pencils to color it in so I have a better idea of how it will look. Now I have to make my full sized templates. I'd better hurry so I'm not too far behind. Keep writing and posting what you've done. I love being able to go to your profiles and see how you're coming along.

Oh man!! Can you see my green eyes from there??

(This is regarding the folks at the seminar-this didn't post as quickly as I thought it would. Or something.)

Wow Jeannie, your quilt design looks great. I've posted my skeleton I think I'll have to also do some colouring. I can't decide what colours to do, so if I colour it in I might have a better idea which way I want to go.

Hi Dorene,

The sun was here today!

For now, the appliques are just stuck on with steam-a-seam II lite. I want to see all the appliques before I permanently fuse them down. Then I will machine applique them.

Your quilting bee sounds like fun.

[Duffy I.]

Ritzy, I definitely like the celtic applique on your quilt. Mine also will have celtic applique. No picture yet, though. It will have to wait until I get back from my hiking trip. I'm leaving tomorrow for a week hiking in the Adirondacks.

[Duffy I.]

We're all so eager to see the next episode of making a Rhapsody quilt!! Thanks for your note, Ricky, letting us know you haven't forgotten us :lol:

While you're waiting and thinking about the applique you plan to use, take a look at Ricky's DVD, Grand Finale. It is the most inspirational "class" I've ever taken, and I learned lots! But mainly, it shows him putting together "Fire Dragon!" I'm going to watch it again tomorrow -- I'd nearly forgotten that!! :shock: There's so much to learn!!! 8)
