Kathy, I received my row from you and it is DARLING!!!! I need to get a photo and post here, it's so adorable! Thank you so very much. I think that completes my set now and I can start playing with how to put them all together! fun!!!!

Jen, your work-in-progress is beautiful!!! I've not tackled curved flying geese before, but love love love the look of them. What a fun, challenging, beautiful pattern you chose!

Luann, lovely to see a photo of you in your avatar spot now! I think I need to change mine...on my screen, my head is cut off....and wouldn't a real retreat be fun for all of us?! :sigh: Maybe one day.....

Ok, so for everyone that has looked at those pictures Jen posted,,, I think we should have a 'real retreat' and work on something like that! I absolutely love all the colors and with the black, oh my, well, I'm just over the moon about it! I'd better go take a walk and calm down,,

Jen - I also love your new project! (Please share your progress when you can).

Kathy sorry I've not replied I've been away and read your post but internet was too slow to reply. I shall wait by the letterbox in eager anticipation. Like the coffee and key rows girls.

Wow love what you are working on Jen, it's stunning but would love to see it again as you progress. If it's more than a month for my row then no problem.

Limbania -this deserves to be in its own message

I am THRILLED with your good news. Know that you and your loved ones are in my heart and my thoughts!

Ladies, I apologize for my absence. With the stress olevels at work, 3 young kiddos at home, and various family and personal drama that need not be mentioned (as it is stressful for me but nothing significant in the grad scheme of life) I needed to take a mental health break for myself...something I am not good at. I'm used to caring for all those around me..it is my profession as a physician after all. Wendy I thank you for your understanding. I envision something fun for you -but simply need the energy to complete it. If anyone other than Wendy is missing a row please let me know! I've taken a detour of sorts and wanted to share. I've always wanted to work on this pattern and I have finally given myself permission to start...something I will work on intermittently, then let sit until inspiration strikes again. It's "catch me if you can" from the amazingly intricate works of Jacqueline deJonge. After a month of quilting in my spare time (for myself) I do feel better! So Wendy I have promised myself ...and now you too..within the next month you will have your row!

Oh my goodness! I love it! Glad you liked the row, Luann.
Kath

Hey Kath,

I made a small quilt that I called 'canisters on caffeine'. The front had canister fabric, sashed, and coffee bean fabric on the back.

My blood type is 'caffeine', we must be 'blood sisters! Thanks Kath! I think I have some red and 'coffee' fabric that will coordinate with this, hmmm, the wheels are starting to turn! I love how you sashed the pinwheels.




Off to the creative studio,,,

Thank you Kathy for "The Key to Live" row! What a neat idea.

Today July 11th I posted rows to Lotti, Terrie, Luann, Cathy, Wendy, Jennifer, Brenda, Barb, Marilyn, Dorothy. Rosemarie's and Dawn's are the last two, and I expect to send those in the next few days.
Kathy

Yesterday, July 10th, I posted rows to Rosemary, Geneva, Andree, Heather and Limbania. Several more should go out today. I'll post names when I get back from the P.O. Feels so good to be heading down the home stretch.

Oh Limbania! I'm so happy for you and your family! And us too! Continued health to you.
