So if it is already made I would love to have one of your blue reels sent to me, but if it means having to stitch one up - don't worry about it.

You have my sympathy in trying to get your house ready for sale, always a big job, and being on the being on the Bluffton Tour of Homes as well, sounds hard work. Maybe being on the Tour will help you to find a buyer

Rosemary;
This is Barbara from Bluffton, SC. I owe you a reel; I shorted you one. Whom should I send it to? Sorry, I am so out of it; we have our home up for sale, & we also have just been asked to show our home for the Bluffton Tour of Homes & have been frantically planting flowers, plants etc. to get ready for the showing! It is an honor to have been chosen but it is a lot of work too! Again, sorry for being so behind Love your fellow Sister.. .

Hi Maree, I am not sure if you are in Lorna's lot or in Rosemary's lot. I think that Rosemary's group are still waiting for reels to arrive from Australia. Until they do some of us will be waiting a while.

Hi Ladies, I haven't checked in for a while and was wondering when my strips would arrive. I see some of them have made it home so will start watching my mailbox. Happy stipping everyone.

Jane,

Thank you. Edyta makes it easy for us. I will say I'm not too much for symmetry especially when it comes to stems and leaves. I wanted to make the applique curvy and fun....but I needed to finish the layout before my trip and kept it "by the book". My next will have curves. You'll have fun designing the Tree of Life. I'm making several pillows to give to friends. It's a great pattern.

Looking forward to seeing more reels!

I can only dream to be quilting at my mother's age. Her hand work is impeccable. When I return, I'll take upload a few items she's hand stitched.
Edyta's quilt designs are addictive. It was fun making the quilt. Now to hand appliqué. Good to have something going on when I won't be at a machine.

I really like the Tree of Life pattern too, and the applique around the border. Very nice, Jeanne, hope the one I'm going to do turns out as good as yours.

Lovely quilt Jeanne. And how nice to have your mother to teach you something at 85. I hope I will be doing the same at that age. Have a good and safe trip.

It's fun to see the reels arriving! While I'm waiting, I'm working on, "Tree of Life" applique portion. I need to stitch the stems, leaves and berries. Then I'll add the bird center design at top and bottom. This has been a fun quilt to make from Edyta's book. Lots to do while I'm visiting my 85 yr old mother later this week. She's making a cathedral quilt by hand and she's going to teach me while I'm visiting her. Off to make my 11 hour drive.

The white border fabric won't stay after quilting. It's there to help with bias edges for me to work on while appliqueing and then send to longarmer.

I'm feeling jealous that mine haven't come yet. But, really, it's a good thing. I have a quilt that must e quilted in the next month and it was taped to my dining room floor for three days for basting. We were out and about for a great part of those 3 days, but still, that's how long it took me to get it basted. The running around is almost done, but there's the shop hop this weekend that my daughter and I might do, not sure if we'll make it.

Wow Bren you're all set and good to go. Love your background fabric and yeap! I see one of the reels I made in the picture
