Cathy, unfortunately we are not allowed to share photos of our mini quilts. It is in our guidelines. It is supposed to be a "secret" until the teammate actually receives her quilt. We cannot even share pictures of our work in progress. So, my guess is that that will be one of the Houston exhibits that does not allow photography. (I'm not sure how hundreds of woman can keep a secret, though.)

And, I was wondering about a thread, or forum for all of the mini quilters to chat, too. But, I think the goal is for the members in each team to chat with each other and form a bond or freindship that can be expressed through/in a mini quilt.

Wendy, ooooooohhhhhh! You poor thing! I have not done that, but have a friend who did! She had to have a doctor extract hers, and put her on antibiotics. I have a special tool that I use for that. I make them from turkey skewers, with lots of jewels/beads on the end. And, sell them by the dozens at our quilt show!

I'm in the Miniature exchange. I signed up the first day and was number 60-something. My partner & I are like 2 peas-in-a-pod! Super close friends already and we are going to meet at the AQS Grand Rapids show!!

I can't begin to count the things we have in common - a funny thing... our husbands names rhyme! It is totally a divine appointment! We are excited to be together. We are a Canada/US team.

(who wants to fix her siggy and photos and all that.... wish that was an option now!!)

Ouch Wendy!!. I have done that before and it hurts.
I did not sign up for the miniature group. I have some volunteer work I need to finish by May 3rd, help with the guilds quilt show on May 13th, finish my rows, make one of my granddaughter's flower girl dress before June 10th. One granddaughter's wedding is June 10th, another's is July 21st. Our 50th anniversary celebration is June 17. A nephew's wedding today, and a niece's baby shower is tomorrow. I just want to go sew something fun for me. I am looking forward to September when things calm down. Please post pictures of your miniatures. I would love to see them.

Yup! I'm in the mini exchange, too. Signed up the first day. My partner is in Denmark, and we are both fiber artists (as opposed to doing a lot of larger piece worked quilts). So, this should be fun!

Geneva, love the bowls. I have not done one yet. But's its on my bucket list.

Since you are chiming in here Barb, I just wanted to let you know that your row (along with Marylyn's) are put on hold for about 6 weeks. I have a push to finish a quilt to get it to my longarm gal by mid June. I need it to fill a huge wall in my Featured Quilter's display. Since I do mostly art quilts, and minis, I don't take up much space, so this biggie will help!

ouch just sewn through the end of my finger, needle broke in it! pulled it out but sore. must use a probe to send edges under foot. what a twit.

well Rosemary and Barb you've not had enough stress after these rows either
Hope theres a thread started for it.

Geneva - Great looking bowls - I'm thinking something fun for the grands to make.

Morning all

I just joined the TQS miniature quilt exchange. Are any of you joining in, I see Lorchen has joined. As if I haven't done enough exchanges with mug rugs, rows, Chinese whispers etc.

Love them, Geneva! I've made a few little ones, but now you make me want to make more!

Ha ha Lorchen, I'll make them wear masks then

Geneva, those look really great! Some of my friends have made them, but I really don't need another project.

No enough confetti?
Sneezing before everything is stuck down!

Beautiful Geneva, I've made a few over the years. They're very satisfying and my friends are impressed.

I'm planning to teach making a confetti art quilt. Never done one so this is going to be fun and probably a bit messy. I'll do one first of course and make samples. Any pitfalls
