I'm Falling For You .......................

[sewnsew]

Wendy I am going to try to get at least the tote finished before I start. I'm planning on getting some of the yarn this weekend and some next weekend. That way I can get it started next week sometime.

 

Barb, yeah the ghost was just going to be way to big. It would have fit a queen by the time it was finished and I couldn't see it being that big. So on to better ideas. It would make a cute Halloween pillow or something though. Maybe an idea for the future.

I can see myself doing a ps after i finish this fallghan. my girlfriend has forbidden me to buy anymore yarn til i get rid of at least one of my totes full. so i will prbably rummage around and see if i cant come up with enough colors to go together to do a ps...

[Skysmom]

Question, ladies! Are we using this CAL for any fall pattern and/or any pattern using fall colors? I think that makes sense; we can keep it going and so many are already talking about the PS in fall colors. What are you all thinking? (I'm confused. )

[Misa]

I sure hope it's still okay to be doing Tabby's ghan cuz that's what I'm making I have to desire to attempt the PS....join as you go ain't my thing

I don't think I'd ever make the PS, either. I want to make a Fall ghan, just wondered what everyone was thinking.

Mary

On the first page Julie says fall colors so you should be ok with making anything thats fall???

 

Cara

Im still doing my gran that i made up with the house and tree....i already have 6 rows done.I don't like Join as you go either thats why im sewing my diamonds together.

 

I'm also doing the PS and the ATW like Linda B so i think im covered in here

Yep think you've got it covered You can sew a join as you go together? I didn't know that. I thought an extra little motif was worked in with the joining Think I'll stick to squares

[Skysmom]

Thanks, ladies...I think this CAL will be around for a long time!

[ginamaria73]

Fall colors, fall quilt designs, I love em all! I am thinking maybe I will switch things up and do like one square with an orange leaf on a brown background and then a brown leaf on an orange background and so on...I think that will look nice, what do you think?

[craftyladynow]

I have a question about some terms.

I know WIP is work in progress but what is WIM?

 

Also what is a saltine? I tried to look for the term online but only came up with Nabisco websites.

 

Thanks

[Aussie]

Crafty a wim means work in the making, I think and a saltine is what we named the little squares that we are all making.

[judianne]

Cara's squares are the size of a saltine:D

 

And I think I've also heard WIM referred to a Work in Mind (vs a WIP - Work in Progress).

Hi Guys

As for your question, Mary-

I think we can just slide in any Fall-colored project into this CAL -- if people wanna go with a quilt- type design, they can, or if they just want a nice afghan made of fall colors, than that is fine too .

That way, we can have lots of different things going in here just so they all LOOK fall-related .

[Skysmom]

Thank you, Julie. One of these days, I'm going to make a decision.

[JulieKay]

No hurry, Mary

You'll see something that strikes your fancy then make up your mind. No rush !

[hseger]

Ok I think I got it figured out! I'm going to do the patches quilt from Cara's website with Carrot, Gold, Hunter Green and White. Killing 2 CAL's with 1 quilt

[sewnsew]

Heather, that's going to look really nice. I can't wait to see it come together.

[bgnagy]

That sounds really pretty Heather.

 

I'm slowly but surely making progress on the PS. If I can just keep a relatively steady pace, I'll be happy.

[ginamaria73]

Ohh the patches quilt done in those colors is going to be beautiful. I can't wait to see some of thses prairie star quilts either!

[hseger]

I know I can't wait to see all the PS's either, I love them I just hadn't really wanted to try to tackle that one yet!

[ginamaria73]

Me either. Keep thinking about it though! One of these days.

[Shaylen]

Heather

Cant wait to see that...its going to look really pretty and fallish(is that a word).

 

Gina

I thinking switching them like that would look really great and give allot of contrast.

 

Well i have 9 rows done on my ATW and 6 done on my Fall Gran.....not bad...baby has been really good and is now sleeping through the night so i get allot done then....not sleeping to good so i have lots of free crochet time.My DS and DIL have moved in with us till they can find a place and they just had their baby(8 days old).We take shifts...i do the baby's at night while im awake and she takes over till i wake up in the day....Its a huge help Anyway i should have photos for tomorrow

[JulieKay]

Heather- sounds very pretty !

 

Shay-= glad you are getting some crochet time in now .

[tahlara]

I found a sidekick cell phone pic that I took of a quilt design - flying geese/fishes, Escher style. Later this month, I will try to see if I can modify it for a wall hanging style. It remind me of flying canadian geese flying in a big V across the sky.

 

I will keep ya all updated.

[Misa]

Heather - Oh wow! I bet those color will be fabulous!

 

Diane - Ooh that sounds very interesting indeed I'm looking forward to what you come up with.

 

I swear everyone in Waco TX must be secretly doing this CAL because all of a sudden I can't find one lousy skein of RHSS Carrot anywhere Oh well gives me something to do on next week's outing Did get Pumpkin though
