Love the baby AAQIs, Rita! Colors are delicious and I see the the pretty circles in the quilting of the dark one!!! Marilyn, your reels are beautiful on your design wall! And Romira, what a lovely Avatar, so kind looking, natural and beautiful against the tree! Great photo, please tell your hubby!

Well, life has slowed up a bit and I've been petting and enjoying my reels ! Thanks everyone who made reels ...the
fabrics are wonderful and I see something new every time I gaze at them on the design wall. Thanks to Rosemary
and Lorna for all the work....the book to come....(after HSTs can't imagine what wonders will come)....and Romira for
recipe work ! BTW..love the new avatar !beautiful ! I have a few little things to finish up then I'll start planning Reels !
Congrats to new grandmothers !

great quilts, Rita!

I got two more baby AAQI quilts done and re-did Limbania's one which was too wide. I have 3 more reels to convert into baby quilts and then I can start on the real thing. These two reels are by Terri Rexford (Highland Lass 75?) and Elizabeth Wells (Scrappy?) not sure of their TQS names. I split the reels on the diagonals and then put them back together. It made one longer than the other.

Rosemary, I am looking forward to seeing your herringbone one, will you post a photo when you are done?

Happy quilting everybody.

Rosemary, will look at that book...thanks. And I have something to share as well.
Here's a link to a cute little bag that might be fun to make with extra reels, hsts, scraps, "upcycled" clothing...whatever.

Rosemary, I just check out "Lately Arrived From London". Looks very interesting! I'll be waiting for your review. Loved the press logo. Lois

Looks like an interesting book. Now would that be like my mother's "Oh do it yourself Pat!" For which she is famous not only in our family but with our children's friends.

I was looking through the craft books section on blurb.com and found one by Barbara Brackman, 'Lately arrived from London' http://www.blurb.com/books/2106301 When I looked at the preview I was highly amused to see next to the copyright claims a silhouette of a girl with her hands on her hips and a dog bouncing at her feet with the words "I'll Just Do It Myself Press".

I have ordered myself a copy and it should be with me by the end of the month - made especially for me and not sitting in a book shop being read by everybody

Roseanne, I'm the same way. I am very hard pressed to find a pic of me when necessary because I avoid letting that happen at all costs! your hubby did right by you and it's very nice to you without a camera to hide behind!

Thanks, Lynn. I'm always the one to take the photos & I usually hate any of me. But
my DH kinda tricked me on this one. When I saw it, instead of saying something like, oh, that's good,
I said oh, I don't even hate it.

Roseanne, I keep meaning to tell you that I love your new avatar!

Terrie, wonderful news about your new granddaughter, and such a lovely name!

Congratulations, grandma Terrie, or is it nana? And Welcome to the world, baby Rosalie!

Congratulations to you and your family, Terri! A new granddaughter to cuddle! How wonderful!
