| Orphans ~ Going Home One member had an idea........ "Send me your orphan blocks........." |
| Wouldn't you like to be one of the cats in the center of this quilt top and accompany all the orphans to their new home? This beautiful quilt top was assembled by Llfox1! One plea to the group and an avalanche of orphan blocks were at her door! CONGRATULATIONS to Beabou2000 for the luck of the draw! You are going to blessed with the family of orphans for many years to come!! Thanks again, Linda. for all your efforts and sharing your talents! |
| And just when you thought we couldn't have anymore fun........... .........we did it again! |
Meet the "girls". |
| GIVING OR... This quilt top was the most recent give-away in our little quilting group. It was assembled by kspencerdiane and she sure showed off her talents for matching colors for sashing and borders! We are a giving group of quilters who love to share ideas, fabrics and blocks for give-aways...... |
| GAMBLING? Just because the rush of the last give-away was over and the sewing machines were slowing down. Just because the inspiration of another quilt top in the making was fading...... that can't possibly mean there is an addiction. They say the first step is to admit the problem. We have a problem. We love the give-aways (and the hype that leads up to them! ) LOL |
| This Sun Bonnet Sue quilt top was won by Mysty359 ~ and her DH missed the whole thing because he ......well, we won't mention that....... Joyce, you are envied by all the members for winning this top! Diane, you had a great idea here and the medium to dark backgrounds of the blocks really set it off! Thanks for hosting! |

| Row By Row Bar Quilt |
| Now in progress...... |
| Start with a row of blocks that measures 6 1/2" by 24 1/2"... send it to another member......... and wait. The only thing you have to do now is add a row to someone else's starter row for the next 6 months or so and yours will be back ! These are the starter rows that are making their way to the sewing rooms of members participating. |
