Marilyn and Dawn - I have finished your rows - sorry for the delay! I'll get them to the post office sometime this week (as long as my brain doesn't flake out on me again and leave the packages in my sewing room like it did with my nurse's birthday present - I was only a week late on that one Pregnancy brain is a real problem! Only a few more weeks and I'll have newborn sleep deprived brain to contend with instead

Love seeing all of these! Lottie, as I'm still working on June (where did the month go??) as well, absolutely no worries. I've said before, but it bears repeating -- I'm only following the calender of who I am to make for next, and trying to get near the correct month (though not so great at doing so). I'm not at all even looking at who is to be sending to me, and so am simply delighted any time I get a surprise in the mail. So -- no worries! And your cousin's quilt is amazing!!

Love all the photos posted, and hope everyone has a happy and safe weekend.

I have had my Janome for I think about 10 years. Absolutely love it. Would love to see the quilts you have done.

Glad you got it, Luann. Now onto July's block.

Lotti - Your cousin's quilt is gorgeous. She's very talented. Thanks for sharing.

Wendy - I love your row quilt. Gorgeous colors.

Nancy - Thanks for the tip about using purple thread to quilt on black.

Very nice rows, ladies. Great eye candy. Hope everybody is having a good summer. Got hotter earlier than usual in Arizona. Keeping a couple of kids entertained indoors is tiring and time consuming. There's just so much time you can be in a pool.

Have a safe and happy Independece Day US ladies!

Lotti - no worries! I've fallen behind as well. Your cousin's quilt is beautiful! I love the bright color!

I promise I will catch up again this month! Sorry for the wait girls!

Can't remember when I last posted anything. I also have been lurking. I have enjoyed the fabric/rows that I've received, and the ones I've seen on here. hanks very much y'all! I think I owe some photos to this thread, but forget whose.

Actually have finished a few quilts, but they go out the door as soon as I've finished. If I can get motivated enough, I'll try to upload the pics. But maybe over at the retreat thread.

Hugs to you all. I love my new machine (Janome)

Lotti your cousin's quilt is amazing! I'd love to see her second quilt!

The rows are so much fun to see.

Wendy your row quilt is quite nice. I think variegated and dark purple is a good idea. Thanks Nancy for your insight..... insight, get it? haha

Maybe I should ask this on the retreat blog, but does anyone have a half a yard of Mah-Jong fabric? I've been looking online and can only find a 6 yard piece. I am happy to pay for it and shipping or trade other goods if preferred. Thanks!

Limbania, what a very clever row you made for Luann! Love it!
Lotti, enjoy your rainy weekend! Your cousin's quilt is wonderful. Looks like she is quite an artist.
Wendy, you'r row quilt colors are great. Now I know I can be colorful with your row, and you will like it! AND, I will enjoy working on it!
Nancy, thanks for the tip on quilting on black! I did quilt with black thread on a black quilt, and it was ridiculous! Wished I'd know the dark purple trick back then!

Have a great 4th of July weekend, all of you here in the USA. I guess in a way we celebrate our own Brexit!

Dawn

Thanks variegated it is then

Your cousin's quilt is amazing, Lotti! What an artist!

Love your row quilt, Wendy! The black should be wonderful to quilt on. It generally shows the quilting whether you use matching or contrasting thread. If you use matching thread, you might want to use a slightly different color like a dark purple so you don't go blind while quilting. Dark purple is much easier to see, but looks black when you're done.

Wow Wendy fabulous Worksworth quilters rows/quilt tops! I especially like your quilt top. I'd quilt with variegated thread.

This is mine I put some chocolate, a book on yoga for chickens and a journal with quilting quotes/ jokes on each page. It was great because each person wrote a page in it.
