I love the samples I have seen so far this has been such a remarkable experience, I thought I would get my friendship prototype ready but Life has other plans. My SIL lost her battle with cancer so we are busy with family, making food, being together. My brother is trying to hold it together but she was his soul mate. I am looking forward to seeing all the beautiful work, there is such an abundance of talent in this group. Carol thank you for the work you are doing for this I think I scored 12 of your HST and kept most of them. I have always so easily parted with the quilts I have made but I don't think I will be able to part with these two quilts from the HST and the batik strips, I want to snuggle up in them when I need a hug from all my sisters. Good luck with your projects talk soon Joan

That's great news. Thank you!

Kim, you still have time until Sept. 6 to enter your quilt top in Carol's prototype of her book. Go back to page 7 of this thread and read all of the posts from Margo, Carol, Rosemary, and others. Keep going.

Cheers,

I've been working on my friendship triangle exchange quilt sporadically for a couple of months, but I was unable to finish it yesterday. I'm close, so close. I think I should have it completed on Tuesday. My family and volunteer commitments only give me a few hours here and there to work on my quilting. I do love the way the top is coming together and I think it will be a beautiful quilt when it is finished. Is there any way it can still be included in the memory book? I understand that completed quilts will be accepted in January. Will any completed quilt tops be accepted before then, like next Tuesday maybe?

Charae, Kudos! You made the deadline! The best thing about the quilt? It is finished. Mine still sits in HST stacks by states. But, I MAY get my mini batik HST quilt done for the second deadline. Time will tell!

Charae, I really like your Medallion Quilt. It's wonderful how different all our quilt look and that is beautiful. Shirley35

Charae, your quilt is so beautiful and bright, happy colors! Congrats on making the first deadline!!

Hugs,
Shirley

Hi Charae! It's a great quilt! Isn't it nice to have met the deadline? - oh how we need them! That's a lots of sewing you've done. I really like the multiple borders. Congratulations!

Whoo-hoo!! Charae, it looks great!!

Top finished in the nick of time. Photography is marginal at best.

When my children (only 2 of them) were small and I visited my parents, Mother always said that "God knew what he was doing when he gave babies to young people!"
She had also raised 4, but the grandchildren always wore her out!

Thanks for the info, Margo and Carol. A wee bit of breathing room...whew and double whew! I've been babysitting my grandsons 5 and 3 for the past three days and haven't been able to do anything on the last borders of my top. Now, I think I can make the sample book deadline, but even if not, thanks that we can still make the final project! I need a bubble bath and a nap...How did I ever keep up with 4 of my own?

Thanks so much Carol (and Margo) for this information. I will send you my pictures and write up later today I hope.

I still would like to donate something to help offset the cost of those books for Houston... You are doing so much work for us!! Thank you Carol!!
