I Googled myself and it returned pages of results but not one entry of the first ten pages was actually referring to me. I ordered a Margo Clabo's Ultimate Book of Quilt Labels, though!
 So far, sewing my reels has gone pretty smoothly.  I credit following Margo's tutorial, using my Ultimate Seam Guide and ironing the strips straight on a gridded surface. What I hadn't realized until yesterday is that the Ultimate Seam Guide was designed by Annis Clapp!  We have so many accomplished, talented and even published members here! |

Yeah, I just Googled YOU, too! You have PAGES on you! And, I just found out at some point you published a book! How cool is that? You are famous on Google, that's for sure! Dawn In beautiful Northwest Montana The book is for real, but I've got to tell you that a lot of the photos attributed to me are NOT!  : |

Lotti, I couldn't have put it better myself, thank-you.
As for anyone interested in my version - what you see on the screen is as far as it has got on paper, the little squares represent 1", I am thinking of doing an inner border from the offcuts of my narrower reels. And just recently I have been wondering about changing the angles of the reels in the border to squash another 2 in either at the top & bottom, or on the sides. If anyone else wants to have a play with the basic design (hint, hint!) and put it up here, while we are waiting for the post etc, It could be fun - It's got to be easier than writing songs, right ! |

hello bren
i just saw that you are number 34C that means you are the 34th participant in group c (each group can handle exactly 41 participants) some people are signed up twice, i.e. once in group a and once in group b - group c was only opened up when it was found that more people would like to join (at this time it was no longer possible to sign up more than once) being signed up in: List (a) will give you enough reels to make the centre of Edyta's Spool Quilt. List (b) will give you enough reels to make the centre of Edyta's Spool Quilt. List (c) will give you enough reels to make the centre of Edyta's Spool Quilt. being signed up in both Lists (a & b) will give enough reels to make up Rosemary's Version of Edyta's Spool Quilt, with some spares for borders etc. - some of us who joined very early on, got to sign up twice and those of us are doing 2x41 reels - i.e. 82 reels BREN: as you are in list C (and C only) - you send in 41 reels and don't forget to make one for yourself so that you are certain to have "your own reel" as well please see rosemary's posts in pages 1 and at the end end of page 2 where she explained her group numbering... she and lorna will do their best to send us the most wonderful mix of reels from all 3 groups - i just know these will all be fabulous fabulous fabulous (and if perchance i do get one of my own back - i'll have a travel-experienced reel of my own - yeah!)  |

Roseanne, maybe this will help. This is the inspiration "Spool Quilt" from Edyta's book Friendship Strips & Scraps.
