Wow what a commitment :) I guess what I am proud of my piecing skills would be that finally after all these years I have "POINTS" where they should be... I have a seam gauge with me and I test my quarter inch seam before tackling any project for accuracy. I did a quilt called "Pointless WOnder" it was a star quilt similar to the way you would do a Buggy Barn patter... well I didn't get the points nor did they look like random stars...I had sewn off my points... UGH... so not wanting to throw it away I finished the quilt, quilted it artsy , fartsy.. and renamed it "SO, WHATS THE POINT".. I vowed to always check to be better at my piecing and have accomplished to have my points be POINTS!.. YEAH... Now I would like to tackle the Wedding Ring quilt this year.. WOuld be grateful to win any of these fantastic prizes, kind a love the kit "Reine Des Abeilles" as I so love reds... I think I was a saloon girl in a past life...ha..ha.. Thanks again. xoxoLeAnne solo663@aol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-19745277696090866412011-03-13T11:29:15.150-05:002011-03-13T11:29:15.150-05:00Congratulations Thelma on your 250 posts!

For years I have wanted to join a quilt quild and get involved with other quilters and community activities. For a variety of reasons--raising kid, working, neverending "to-do" list---I never felt that I had the time to do so. Well yesterday I did! I'm looking forward to becoming involved with this community of quilters. I'm looking forward to your next 250 posts. You keep me inspired. Would love to win the Glace fat quarters and get ready for some Christmas sewing!QuiltNRNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759864271992554108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-14615609716472533612011-03-13T10:46:11.764-05:002011-03-13T10:46:11.764-05:00Congratulations on your blogiversary!

I am less intimidated by it now than when I first decided that I wanted to learn to do it, but time constraints and having so many other things I want to do have kept me from attempting it thus far. But someday!!!<br /><br />Thank you for such a generous giveaway!

I have a bad habit of starting something new before I finish what I'm working on. I recently learned hand applique and I love it! Now to find the time to do more of it. I would love to make a Baltimore Album quilt. Thanks for the generous giveaway.

You are both so inspiring for new quilters like myself!!! Applique and machine quilting are what I would like to try when I have the time and courage. Oh, also just love (most of) Park Avenue, I do have a Jelly Roll and some yardage, but when in love a little is never enough right. But then I have a Jelly Roll of Glace (but no yardage), which will make a great Summer Christmas Quilt (I am an Aussie) but am lost to what pattern will suit. Any ideas?? Postage is costly so only include me if that is o.k. with you.

One of the things I'm afraid to do is quilt my own tops. I tried it once and completely ruined it, had to pull all the stitching out. Worst part is it was invisible thread, which made it really hard to see. Oh, and your Madeine is on my to do list...must've visited it severa time. I'd love Park Avenue or French General.

I'm doing the Civil War Tribute quilt from last year. I've been afraid to even start it. I'd read so, many posts about how hard it was but I'm happy to say I have and I love making the blocks. They are a challenge but such a sense of accomplishment when you get them done each time. <br />Thanks for the opportunity to win such a lovely gift.
