Melora Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hi Bev, Harvey Scott? That is over my way (sorta) There are benifits to working they come every week or two, and fabric depot is having a mailer sale this weekend ( may only be online) I changed up the milky way so you could do it also we surly won\'t be using the same fabric mine is from 2003. See you in a few weeks. Melora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethDurand Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hi Melora, What a surprise to come home from playing with friends to find a larger envelope in the mail. I didn\'t recognise the name on the return address label, but geez, they are only about 4 miles from me! Who the heck? Based on the feel of the envelope, I knew that it was an APQS exchange block, but so surprised to find it was you! Great block, and thanks for the enclosed picture as well. Is that a quilt that you quilted? Love the basket weave. Thanks so much, Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeta Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Melora, What a treat to get my Christmas block in the mail today! It is a beautiful. You have been very industrious getting them done. I haven\'t started yet as I have several things on deadline through the month of June. Hopefully, I\'ll get started by the end of June. Thanks again.

jenward Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Melora, Thank you for the beautiful block. I really like the pattern and my 15 yr old DD thought it is "so cool". Thanks, Jennifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merryjo2003 Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Jennifer, Thanks for the beautiful block! It\'s the first Christmas block I\'ve received. I haven gotten mine started yet. I\'ve been averaging customer 7 quilts per week and have squeezed in making several tops of my own. Busy, busy! Graduations have been killing me! I\'m glad though, not complaining, just frazzled in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbi Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Melora, I have another (local) exchange I\'m participating in, and I was wondering if you have seen the "milky way" block in a 12". I don\'t have E-Q, because I have a MAC computer.... Let me know if you know of a way to convert it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltingbykaren Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Melora, I came back from the long holiday to find your lovely block in the mail. What a treat! Thanks for the note too. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melora Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Bobbi, I Have EQ and it has a milky way block on it what size do you need it to be and do you prefer classic pieced? I\'ll mail you what you select. Melora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbi Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I\'d like to be able to do it in a 12" (12 1/2" unfinished) block.... I searched to net to see if I could come up with it on my own to no avail.... Thanks! do you have my address? Your Great!!! I\'m not sure what you mean by classic pieced, but if anyone is, that would be me. LOL So, what would it be if it wasn\'t classic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melora Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 HI, They just sort everything with weird catergories,what I really meant was templets or rotary . I am sending you roatary. Also there is a note with a colored block to explain the difference between the two blocks. My mail has already come today so it will go out tomorrow Melora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbi Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 OH MELORA!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! this is just so sweet of you! Thank you, thank you thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Life has gotten in the way again. I started on these, but only got two finished; and didn\'t even get those mailed like I was supposed to. I will try to work on them as soon as I get these quilts finished and out of here.

bobbi Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Man, that was fast! Melora, I got the milkyway instructions today! It\'s only the 30th and you mailed them on the 27th(?)..... WOW! Thanks so much. The local block exchange I\'m participating in is really kool... you put at least 5 yards of fabric in your bag, (mark your bag with your name, etc.) and it\'s best to have 12 participants.... one person or a "shop" is the place you drop off and pick up bags. You take a bag and make a block for that person... leaving all the scraps, etc. (I like to keep scraps seperate in a plastic bag inside the "bag") then when you are done, you drop that one off, and pick up another... that way each person has made a block for your quilt out of your fabrics! How kool is that! So, Melora - that\'s what I will use this for ! Thanks so much! Theresa: take your time, let life happen, you have plenty of time to get your blocks done, but you only have NOW, this moment, to be with your son. I\'m sending positive vibes to you my sweet friend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Melora, Thank you for the Christmas block. I love it! I was also going to use the Milky Way block from Quilter\'s Cache but have decided to use another block that I also like. I think it\'s called Guiding Star, not from Quilter\'s cache. Isn\'t that a great source for blocks? I used to go to world wide quilting page for block instructions but I think that I have found a new favorite site.

chickenscratch Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 The friendship block swap had some who signed up and then didn\'t follow through. SO, I\'m ASKING you to please be sure you are going to participate in this. If not, PLEASE SAY SO NOW. There are several who signed up that haven\'t even posted to this chat since signing up for this. That worries me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I am still waiting to buy my fabric. I did decide on a block to make. Teresa, what is the deadline? I know you posted it several times, but I forgot several times. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore1223 Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I don\'t want to keep singing the same tune but....I\'m still working on the friendship blocks and I have 6 ready to go in the mail tomorrow. I\'m not flaking out on you guys. I know that you\'re not pointing a finger at me (or at least I hope not). I just want to keep everyone informed so that they know that blocks are coming from me. My life like everyone else\'s keeps getting in the way. It doesn\'t help that for some reason it takes me forever to get one block done. Anyway, I\'ll quit rambling and just say that I still want to be in the Christmas swap and I intend to send one to everyone on my list, that is if you guys still want me.

Judi Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Sandra - I was wondering the same thing - due date... I think it was something like end of Aug.?? Coleen - Yes - we still want you!! Don\'t be silly!! That\'s one thing I have learned about most quilters - we are NOT "quit-ers" we just don\'t give up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Thanks, Judi. I thought I still had plenty of time, but wasn\'t sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Coleen, I really wasn\'t directing that to you. I know you are working on your stuff; and you\'ve been great about letting us know and keeping us up to date on your progress. Just keep plugging along. You\'ll get it all finished.

Sandra Darlington Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I have 2 quilt shops near me and neither one has their new Christmas fabric in yet. What remains from last year was ugly, so no point in buying it. The one shop said they expect a delivery next week, but won\'t be in full swing for about a month. As soon as I can get my fabric, I will start making my blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Sandra, I\'m having the same issue. I went last week to get fabric for the Christmas swap, I found some nice red fabric that I think I\'ll use but couldn\'t find the "right" green. The seasonal fabric out right now is all red, white and blue. Of course I could always peruse my stash, this would be a good thing. Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judi Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I think thats what I\'ll do - I have SO much stash!!! I found a bunch of Thimbleberries Reds - greens and golds - all prewashed chunks - but I have NO IDEA what I was going to make with these?!?! I know they were from the Club I was in.... but can\'t find the patterns! These blocks don\'t all HAVE to have the same fabrics do they? I know we should each make our one "kind" of block, (15 1/2" for 14 diff. people) but these greens are in like 1/3 yard pieces. Would this be o.k.?
