Crochet -a- Quilt

[JulieKay]

Wendy

Nice job on your 9 patch. Keep up the good work ! I still havent gotten my buns in gear to take photos of mine yet. I' ll try to remember to do that soon .

 

Tabby- hope your head feels better . Take it easy today and get some rest .

[Aussie]

Thanks everyone for your comments on my 9 patch. I am really enjoying it. I am sewing the squares as I go. I am doing it as big as the pattern says although if I had gone one more pattern over it would have fit my queen size bed. So as I finish a row across Im sewing it together. I dont like leaving that to the end and boy Julie you get a lot of ends to weave in on this. I have taken to leaving a longer end and using this to sew it together.

 

Tabby - Sorry to hear your not well. Hope you got some rest and your boys are being quiet for you.

 

I hope you are all having a great sunday afternoon. Its a beautiful day here not too hot. Its the last week of school then the kids are on holidays until 29th January. Well gotta go get ready for work.

[JulieKay]

Wow, Wendy

 

You guys get a really long Christmas break over there. Then do they have another one at Easter or not ? Around here, they usually get about 10 days off for Christmas and a week at Easter . Their long break is in the summer- June-July and August .

Good job on your 9 patch ! It sounds like you are hard at work on it .

wendy- great job on the 9 patch and the mystery cal youve done a great job on both of them.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Thanks Julie & Wendy! I feel much better now.

I have finished my diamonds for my PS & all I have left to do is the border. As soon as i'm done i'll post a pic. It won't be until tomorrow sometime because I have to get the little one to bed soon. Talk to ya all tomorrow. Nighty-night!

Hey guys...sorry to butt in here, but I couldn't help drooling over the proposed patterns in the very first post on this CAL. I'm too busy to join right now but I was wondering if someone could tell me which posts have pics of finished quilts? I'd read through them but 226 pages is too much for me.

[darski]

I don't think that will happen because someone else would have to go through 226 pages to make it happen for you. They are all over the place in these pages.

 

Someone may decide to do this for you and if that should happen, my hat is off to a real helper - def qualify for the Mother Theresa award on that one.

[Kiirs]

Oh, I wouldn't want someone else to do that! I was just hoping that people who have posted pics might know which page or post number they're on, and could say so. Please anyone, don't go to any trouble. Congratulations to everyone on finished or partial lovely quilts!

[goofy]

Wendy-nice job on the nine patch. can't wait to see the ATW. I will have to lay mine out tomorrow and take a pic. just ten squares to go and I'm done!! Can't wait!

[Aussie]

Thanks Andrea.

 

Brenda - wow I cant believe you have nearly finished the around the world. I cant wait to see the finished product.

 

Tabby - Im glad your much better and you have nearly finished your ps. What are you going to do then.

 

Julie - howdy, the schools here have holidays from 15th dec -29th Jan. Then 2 weeks off at easter, then 2 weeks off in July, then 2 weeks off in October. They have 4 terms of school here. Thanks I am having fun with the 9 patch. Although I cant wait to see what you have planned for us all. You were going to give us hints.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Hellllloooooooo out there! Anyone there??????? LOL! I should be finishing my border instead of talking to myself. Okay, i'm off to finish it. But, i'll be back.

[goofy]

Only 8 Squares to go! I like laying it out and looking at it. It seems to motivate me to do more as it looks like it is so close to being done...and it is! Off I go to work on it some more.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Brenda~Your ghan is coming along beautifully. Good Luck on finishing.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Another one bites the dust. Oh yeah! I finished my Prairie Star ghan. The lighting is horrible today, so dark & chilly here. I tried to use the light in my house but it didn't do it any justice. Here it is anyways & i'll try to get a better pic. tomorrow if there's any sunlight.

 

[Aussie]

Brenda - your around the world looks great. I love the colors. Your squares seem to be better than mine. I told you mine curl up but not just at the ends. i should show a pic of one. I actually have to have some books on top of the squares to straighten them out. I have also nearly finished my 7th color.

 

Tabby - Are you talking to yourself. Did you get the border finished. The PS didnt take you very long to do, did it.

 

Julie , Brandy, Andrea where are u.

[Aussie]

Tabby we must have been typing at the same time. Your PS looks amazing, I love it. I will definitely have to do one of these. Are you going to keep it for yourself and what are you going to do now.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Hi Wendy! Thank you! I was actually going to keep it because I had nothing else to do with it but then I thought of a person who would love it. My sons pre-school teacher always & Oooooo's & ahhhhh's over it so I am going to give it to her for Christmas. She says the colors match her livingroom so I think she'll love it. We really don't have anywhere to put another afghan but I will be looking for a display rack somewhere soon so I don't have to give them all away. I just didn't want to see it sit in the corner with no home so I thought it was best to place it up for adoption.

I hope your day is going well. I'm off to cook dinner for the monsters.

[Aussie]

Tabby that is so nice of you. Your sons teacher will love it.

 

My day has just started. Just had breakfast and got the girls lunches ready.

Will be heading off for work soon.

 

Have a great night.

[andrea2006]

Wendy - hiya I'm still around just havnt crochet for a couple of weeks actually.

 

Tabby - I had a hard time seeing the pick it showed up really dark on mine but I am sure that is beautiful.

 

Brenda- way to go your ghan looks beautiful.

[thery4]

Brenda....beautiful! Those colors really pop!

Tabby....the pic looked dark here too....but I can tell it is beautiful! Good job and I would love to see the teachers face when she un wraps it!

I love looking at everyone's pics of progress!

[QueenOfCrochet]

Andrea & Theresa~Thank you! My pic. is very dark & that's with the light on. It was dark here today, no sun what so ever. I will get a better pic. tomorrow when the sun shows its face. Thanks again for looking.

[darski]

Tabby that is a beautiful PS. It is so sweet of you to give it away like that.

[goofy]

Thanks for all the compliments!

Wendy~are your squares the same size as mine? what size are you making your ATW?

Tabby~I also thought the picture was dark but I'm sure it is beautiful. Aslo congrats on finishing it!
